One Week and Counting

A week from today will be Student Nurse Eve, the last evening before the first day of school for me. I have mixed feelings about it. I guess it has to do with the whole new experience, fears, unknowns, etc. I'm okay with it all, but like anything that you anticipate, it's worse thinking about it than actually doing it.

I've done all I know to do to get ready. I've gotten my children ready for their schools and we have a few more meetings here and there to attend, but mostly we are ready. There is an element of risk that I'd rather not have to face, but I will face it. I'm not excited, more dreading the amount of work and the phenomenal undertaking that this means. I know I will miss births, and that doesn't make me happy. I don't know what the financial cost will be of not working, but I'm trusting it will work out okay in the end. I know I will miss kid activities and other events that I would otherwise love to participate in, but I'm hoping it will be worth it in the end. We'll see.

I've asked for a change in my Thursday late afternoon class/lab. I hope I can get assigned a different time (4:30 to 6:50 isn't good for me), but I haven't heard anything back yet. Even Tuesday late afternoon would be better. Oh well. I'll work with whatever happens.

I'm down to the last group of books that need to come in. I got everything from Amazon and Half.com, but the Textbooks.com books haven't arrived yet. And I ordered those first. I'm not happy about this, but I'm not sure there is anything I can do at this point. I'll look and see if there is anyway to tract them. I wonder if they were shipped yet? It's about $250 worth of books (maybe 5?)
