I am a big fan of sleep. I take naps when I can. I sleep late when possible. I need to sleep well to function, I’m definitely not a person who can sleep for 3 hours and be ready to go. I need my 8 hours, thanks. Especially, working 12 hour days chasing after a 2 year old and soothing a screaming infant. Looooong days. Must…have…sleep.

So why is it that on my day off, when I have nothing important to do but watch Grey’s Anatomy later today (YES. THAT IS IMPORTANT. VERY IMPORTANT, PEOPLE), I wake up at 8:00 AM. WHY?! On my one day off, my one day to enjoy sleeping late, but no, my body obviously will not let me have that. Not cool, man.

Anyway, schedules. I wrote earlier this week briefly that I had a meeting with a counselor for school. Come spring semester, I’m transferring schools. Recently I decided to change my major from education to nursing, no one probably believes me though because I use to change my major like, um…every 3 seconds. Whatever, that is besides the point. Point being, I have to knock out a bunch of science classes before I can start applying to nursing programs. I walked out of my meeting completely overwhelmed. Overwhelmed but ready. I am going to have my ass kicked for the next 3 1/2 years!

Next semester, I’m taking 3 classes, I want to say it’s 13 credit hours. ONE class alone is 6 credit hours. 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 6 hours and 20 minutes each day….for one class. I know, right? I’m also taking a Psych and a Math, which I should have placed out of but considering at 23, I have the math skills of a 5th grader. I most definitely didn’t place out of Math. So Monday and Wednesday I will be at school from 8:10AM-9:50PM and on Thursday from 3:30 to 9:50. Thank goodness the Nurse Assistant class is only 8 weeks, so after those 2 months, my Mondays and Wednesdays will lighten up immensely and I won’t even have to be there on Thursdays. Still, longest school day everrr.

Then until I enter nursing school:

Summer 08 - Bio and another Psych

Fall 08 - Bio, Chem, Nursing 101 and Soc

Spring 09 - Bio, Bio, maybe another Chem

I guess I should enjoy any sleep I can get now, since I sure as hell won’t be sleeping then.
