week 1.

So all of a sudden it's Sunday and I'm sitting back in my room, trying to figure out where the first week of school went! I'll try to recap a bit.

I have successfully made it to each class! Which is super, considering several, if not many students showed up either an hour late or not at all to at least one class this week.

The professor for my Nursing lecture wrote her dissertation on dementia in seniors - turns out, she has a mad passion for the oldies!! I think that is so so so great. They way she teaches is centered around older-adult care as well. When she references seniors and how to appropriately care for them, I actually understand what she means from a 'I've been there! I've done that!' perspective. Sweet? I think so.

The other part of my Nursing class is the clinical segment - starting next week, I'll actually be in the hospital! My group is in the Stroke Unit. I really have no idea what to expect - seniors? adults? both? functioning? nonfunctioning? I have a mind-boggling amount to learn. Tomorrow is our info session where we figure out all the details. I really hope I don't mess up too badly when clinical begins. Like getting lost, going to the wrong hospital, taking the wrong bus, missing the start time, making a doctor mad, etc and etc. But what's the use in worrying now (I keep telling myself this!!) - there's nothing I can do but wait until next Monday. Then I can worry. :)

But I guess that's all for now - except that the leaves are turning colors and I love love love this time of year. Cheers!
