and attended a mandatory "College Planning" session. Omg, it felt SO SO good to be "independent" and around people my age and older. I am loving it! For 2 years, I've been a stay-at-home mom with no driver license and therefor pretty much stuck at home. ALWAYS surrounded by the babies, not that I mind, but from time to time we all need a break!
We received our assessment scores. And I did pretty well, I must say. Much better than most of the people that attended the session. I didn't have to retake any of the tests, and I'm right at college level as well. So no need to take extra English or Math classes.
After the session, the adviser explained us how we need to register for classes and then she let us go ahead and do it ourselves.
I was a little bummed that Anatomy 1 was already full, now I need to make sure I'll be able to get into the Spring class and then I'll have to do Anatomy 2 during the Summer.
But I was able to enroll in English, Psychology, and Sociology (Multi-cultural studies) for the online courses. And then from August to October I will take a 2hr/week Life Skills test, which is supposed to be very light and interesting. I don't think we will be tested for that class either, more like a lecture type of thing. And then from October to December I will be doing Math. The math is a little cramped up, I just hope I'll be able to stay on top of it.

Gosh I'm excited, never been this excited to study! I am so fricking motivated!!! I want to get all A's inshAllah!

ReplyDeleteSalam Alaikum,
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog. As for your question about nursing, yes, I love my job. It can be extremely challenging, mentally, physically and emotionally draining. It can be really gross. You see things on human beings that you'd never think you would. You spend alot of time cleaining up poop. So why do I like it? The rewards are tremendous. You get to help people get better sometimes. Sometimes you get to help them die in a dignified way while giving their family support and compassion. Some patients will make you laugh and others will make you just ball your eyes out. Sometimes you find yourself in an emergency situation. Maybe you're patient's coding or maybe their crashing. You're the one that's there on the front lines trying to ward off death for awhile longer. I work in the ICU and obviously not all nursing is like that. Even though what I just wrote may sound overwhelming, in short, you really do get used to it and most of it is just another day at the office :) And the best part, the job outlook is fabulous. Best of luck to you sister.
