Positions I need to know

My thick packet that I will be tested on... Yay.

Math homework/study guide for my first Midterm

I know, right? Confusing! I was thinking the exact same thing you were when I first started my CNA class and Ology (math) class. When I was first handed my Ology book, I quickly looked through it all just to see what I was going to learn this semester and let me tell ya, I was nervous, confused and scared out of my mind. Math isn't my best subject. So when it came to this I panicked a little bit. 
When I was handed my CNA book, I looked through that as well. I wasn't too concerned with it because I knew some medical terminology already. I had an idea of what some of the things that were going to be taught were. So I wasn't stressing too much about my CNA class as I was my Ology.
Needless to say, my September was a very busy and stressful month. My life literally revolved around work, school and homework. It didn't feel like I had time to do anything other than that. When I did, all I really wanted to do was relax. Take a breather. Have time for myself. But I longed for going out and doing something instead of relaxing, but my body kept telling me I needed to relax.
Ology, whoever thought about doing this course was a genius! It's helped me so much. It's a faster way to get math done. If I had gone through UVU, BYU or U of U starting in Math 950 then getting to Math 1050 would have taken what, two years? Maybe? Instead, I'm getting Math 950-1050 done in ONE semester! ONE! Who would have thought that was possible, but it is! Through Ology of course.
When I think of math I don't think of an enjoyable subject. I hate it. I don't understand it. It's a waste of time. And when the crap am I going to use it again in my every day life? NEVER!! At least not this kind of math. Seriously. But since I have an incredible instructor, who majored in math mind you, she has made me kind of enjoy math and look forward to going to my next class. She takes the time to make sure you understand what you're doing. She shows you all these ins and outs on getting the problem done faster. She has awesome shortcuts! SHORTCUTS! Who would have thought about shortcuts?!
CNA, some of it was like "seriously, come on! This is common sense" and other parts of it, I honestly had no idea about. But majority of it is common sense. All I need to do now is send in my voucher to the state, get contacted by them, set up a time/date of when I can take my State Skills Test & State Written Test. Then wait to hear from them if I've passed or failed. This'll be nerve wracking. But it's a necessary step to continue on with Nursing school. Nursing school.. That's a whole other topic that I'll get into when the time comes.
For now, this is what I have been doing this fall semester of school. It's been stressful, but definitely well worth it. Well worth it.

Three hundred sixty-five days & counting

Three hundred sixty-five days. 365 days. Three. Six. Five. Days! 

I don't think it really matters how I say it, or how I look at it because today is exactly one year until Braxton & I are married. By this time next year he will be calling me his WIFE & I'll be calling him my HUSBAND. That's weird.

Yeah, I've been looking forward to this day since he asked me to marry him - which was in February, mind you - but now that it's actually one year away, it's weird. I don't exactly know how to explain what I'm feeling right now.

Excitement

Fear

Strange

Worried

Happy

Loved

Weirded out

Panic like

All of these feelings are what I'm feeling... Somewhat. Like I said, I can't exactly explain what/how I'm feeling. The one thing I can tell you is, it's going to be weird introducing Braxton to people as my husband. It was weird, for a while, introducing him as my Fiance. I'll get used to it eventually, just like everyone else.

Three hundred sixty-five days. Three hundred sixty-five days. Three HUNDRED sixty-five days. That's going to be here before I know it. Thinking about it now, it seems so far away, but it will be here fast. Then I'll be wondering where all the time went. Do I have everything I need? Is everything finished? Are the colors right? Are the flowers perfect? Where is everyone? Is this really happening? I can't believe it's happening! WHERE DID THE TIME GO?! The excitement will turn into stress as it gets closer and closer. Then the stress will be gone when the day is actually here and.... finished! Three hundred sixty-five days.

Three. Six. Five. DAYS and counting. Bring on this year!

My beautiful ring - cannot wait for the band!

Walked into Kay Jewelers 3 times & on the 3rd time, I found my ring & said "That's my ring Braxton!"

So excited for the year to come ;)
