Back to the Books
I arrived home from vacation last night and immediately went into panic mode over school. Today was my first day of class. I always like the first week of school because they generally go easy on you by going over syllabi and possibly a short lecture. My first class of the day was pediatrics. We were instructed to write down 3 truths and 1 lie about ourselves. We then tried to guess who the author was as the professor read them off. It was funny how easily we deduced the source as well as the lie. I guess we really have gotten to know each other well over the last year.
It was really sad to miss 7 of my classmates who flunked out last semester. We're now down to a class size of 23. Then, much to my surprise, I discover that 2 of those 7 are in my Monday night World Civ III class. We caught up on the goings on of those who are having to repeat the semester. I found out that UT Knoxville's nursing school has lost its accreditation and UT Chattanooga is currently under investigation. I asked my source what would happen to us if they did lose accreditation. She thinks they would finish out the students currently enrolled but not take any more applicants. This is a relief because I don't want to have to transfer again.
I was a bit leery that I might be taking on more than is advisable by taking a class in addition to my nursing classes. However, I perceive this might be my best History class yet. The professor is really funny and interesting. We spent about an hour learning about the people in the class with her adding amusing anecdotes along the way. Additionally, we only have 2 exams and 3 out-of-class essays. I think I can handle this! I will be taking away from my study time, but hopefully I can handle it.
I've been puzzling over something tonight: Are there any men who enter the profession of midwifery? Men are in all other areas of nursing, so why not? And if they do, what would you call them, for "midwife" hardly seems appropriate.

Ha Ha good one!! :-) I find that amusing because only a couple of weeks ago I was going around asking people the same question. Would he be a "midhusband"?
