Beginning of the End

Well, life is no less hectic than last week or the week before, but I can see the end of the tunnel now. Next week is finals week, so I've got a Psych term paper to write and a couple finals to prepare for. The EMT training will continue through the end of the term, past finals, and well into next term, but I've gotten into the swing of that so it's become a little more of a routine.

At the moment, I'm mostly registered for next term, though I'm waiting to hear on a couple classes. The local Microbiology class is reserved for students already enrolled in Anatomy and Physiology, so I'm on a waiting list to see if any openings come up. If so, they're doled out by lottery, so I doubt I'll get in. My solution? I enrolled at a college in Portland for Micro and another college up north to take A&P. That means I'll probably be enrolled in (and attending) three colleges during Spring term. Crazy? Only if you figure there's like 500 miles a week of commuting. But it cuts over a year off my waiting time to get into the same classes locally, and hence, cuts a year of getting into the nursing program. I think it's worth it, though my car may disagree with me.

As for the remainder of this term, I'm not too stressed about it. I'm carrying very strong As in both Psych and Biology (above 95% in both), two of my classes are Pass/Fail and I'm solidly above that line, my CNA training is almost finished, and I'm holding steady at 94% in my EMT class. So even if I don't ace the finals next week, I should still pull a 4.0 out of the Winter term (with 13 local credits, 8 credits in EMT training in Centralia, and CNA training in Vancouver).

Needless to say, I'm very tired. Sleeping about 6 hours a night during the week, then crashing for 10-12 hours on Friday and Saturday nights. Social life? Feh. Who needs friends and family!

Er... okay, I admit it, it might be nice to actually have a day off. Oh well, maybe this Summer...
