Begining at an end...

I've tossed around the idea of starting a blog for awhile now, although I wonder at who would be interested in the daily events and odd thoughts I decide to share.

I'm a male college student in southern California, which already makes me a minority, not to mention the obvious, I'm getting myself into a female dominated field. Which I'm totally OK with, I'm just mentioning this due to the unique obstacles and experiences may encounter.

I had been going to school part-time since '06 while working 50+ hr weeks, until the downturn in the economy saw me get laid off at the end of '08. I've been a full time student since.

This January I started the necessary pre-requisites to start my road to nursing school, as until then I'd only been able to take some of my classes for the general education requirement. I took intro to bio for nursing students, but couldn't take any of the other pre-req's until this fall, although I took an EMT course and became nationally certified as one. That was a great experience which I would recomend for nursing students, due to the unique perspective you learn as an EMT, besides, it only takes a semester.

This fall I've been taking Anatomy, Microbiology and a swim class (need that regular exercise). I don't recomend taking those two classes at the same time unless you're a strong student, and have no life or family. With a week and a half to go, I have a 92 in Anatomy, and 88 in Micro, so it's down to the wire.

That basically brings everything up to date, I'll need stuff to post later as well, lol.

Thanks for reading.
