Getting excited

Spring break is almost here and I am so excited. I am going to be with "my man" in Texas. I love traveling and flying on planes. Whenever I pick up Brian at the airport or he picks me up, I try to find a new pretty dress to wear. I love dressing up. It is so much fun, and he just lights up when he sees me. It puts a skip in my heart. (sappy I know, but it's true).It is the goodbye's at the airports that are not so fun. Always involves tears, but know we will see each other the next month helps a bit.
My new friends in my nursing program make school so much fun!! Some time I may need to tell you all about the "pack" that was made with them (it won't work for me- lol). It's a riot!! We seem to all "click" together. We have quite a wide variety of backgrounds, but it works for us. I of course am the oldest in the group, but they definitely keep me thinking young. I don't feel as old as I am, although, I don't know how old I am supposed to feel. So maybe I'm actually feeling just perfect!
We had a Pet therapist visit our class at SCSU on Monday. This job he does is so amazing!! If I could work as a volunteer and not have to worry about finances I would totally do this. This dog is credited with bringing 4 people out of coma's, diagnosing areas of pain in patients, doctors have actually asked the therapist to have the dog see people, it brings down people's B/P, pain levels, and sooo many more things. He works at St. Cloud Hospital. He has been on KARE 11 and Animal Planet for his extraordinary dogs. WAY COOL.
Today the reality of "nursing" is setting in. We did orientation all day on Electronic Medical Records at the hospital, and seeing all the capabilities of the system humbles oneself. It will be so nice when we start our clinicals and put things into "practice" that we have been learning in class. Scary and exciting all at the same time.
