Nursing School

I've completed my first week of real nursing school. How exciting! Yes, I can truly say that I'm excited. I can also say I'm exhausted. It's 10.30 am, and I've been up since 5. Even more exciting. The terribly frightening aspect of it all: I know it's going to worsen as the weeks pass. Everyone that is new to the program (I was here last semester doing pre/co reques), is openly stating that they would like harder material, and asking when things will become more exciting and complex. I know better than that. I know that within two weeks from now, nursing school is going to be utter hell.
This week I've learned bedside care, bathing, fall prevention, gloving, and hand washing. It's just the basics that real RNs don't really do. It's more LPN work, but you have to start somewhere. I passed my validation etc, so all that's left is a load of reading. I don't know if I can make myself do it right now, although I'm in the library. Next week we'll do more basic care, like patient transfer. I'm not complaining, I'm scared for it to become difficult. I'm also starting a&p (hell itself), and sociology. I think I'll have enough on my plate that my life outside of school will become non-existent. Speaking of which...
I think I've finally done it. I've moved on. Thank the good lord that I did, too. Every failed relationship is the same in that no matter you deny it, you're going to think your ex is an asshole. I'm certainly not an exception. He cheated on me, I forgave him, he broke up with me, and then I let him use me. For months. So yes, that's my fault, but all the same. Shame on him. He has a new girl friend now. She's tall, a tad chunky, and bleached blond. She's pretty much realistic (bitch) barbie. Not that I should care... But again, I'm not the only one who hates the ex's new girlfriend, especially under the circumstances under which I knew Austin. I have not elaborated and I never will. Not here. I'm very glad to be rid of my feelings for him, although I haven't seen him in months. If I saw him face-to-face I wouldn't be so sure. No matter, I wont ever see him.
Unfortunately, I'm human. Just like everyone else, I don't want to be alone. And like everyone else, I've managed to find someone I really like. I don't know why I didn't see it before. Perhaps it was denial that held me back. I cannot be sure. I don't know where it will go, or what will happen, but I'm taking it slow. If we end up together officially, it wont be until summer, I would think. Nothing can distract me from school. I will not, by any means, fail this semester.
I think that's all. It's winter here in CNY, and it's very cold today. Probably 14f. I hear Sunday is going up to 50f, though. It's been changing a lot. I don't mind, it means I can run outside:) Cheers, all!
