Well, today was the first day of my second year of Nursing.

Good lord.

We were waiting for the ride to take us to the hospital . . . and it left without the entire class! Good thing there was another bus.

It was straight to the hospital right away for a lecture on maternal nursing. How to deliver a baby, the multiple fetal positions, how to document the important information relating to both mother and child (which isn't as easy as it looks, because the form has questions such as "[the measurement of] cervical dilation," "gravida," "contractions per ten minutes," et cetera, all of which have their own "codes" that we'll be using to answer) . . .

Then, the bus that drove us there . . . did not come back for us.

I had to hitch a ride with a friend.

I'm tired already--and it's only the first day.

Suffice it to say . . . I know I'm in for one hell of a ride.
