Monday Morning Blues

Wow, the weekend went by in a blur.  Isn't that how it always is?  It's back to the grind.  Until my class finishes up in about a month, my only days off are one weekend every other week.  Time off is especially enjoyable right now, but also especially fleeting.

Friday, my insane day, went pretty well.  After working all night Thursday, I rushed off to class Friday morning.  Class let out early last Wednesday afternoon because of a power failure that prevented us from completing our quiz, so the instructor rescheduled us for 8 am on Friday morning (one hour early).  I don't usually leave work until 8 am, so I was expecting to be at least 30 minutes late.  But because I didn't get a lunch break at work on Thursday night, I was able to escape 15 minutes early, and ended up being only 10 minutes late to class...  Excellent!  I walked in during the quiz, and had only missed the first four questions.

After a busy 3 hours of lecture, I had to leave class early to head over to the local community college, where I took the approximately 4 hour long TEAS test.  I spent plenty of time stressing out about it last week (particularly the math section), but it was easy.  Because it is a computer based test, I got my score back immediately, and I passed with flying colors!  Alas, it doesn't mean that I have a spot in the nursing class in the fall-- apparently, some students don't pass the TEAS, so the school allows more people to take it than seats are available.  If the number of students who pass the test exceeds the number of seats, they conduct another lottery to decide who advances.  There will be 48 seats for the fall class...  Let's hope I'm part of that group!  After the exam, I was finally free to head home and decompress, and that's exactly what I did for the next two days.  Ahhhh, so nice!
