Since one degree never seems to be enough these days, I've decided to go back for Round 2: Nursing School. Today was orientation and they said things to scare us with such phrases as, "You're going to work harder than you ever have in your life." and "This is going to be SO tough. We have the best program in the state of Virginia and we intend to keep it that way." but my favorite so far is "Come by my office. In it you will find a brandy snifter... and in that brandy snifter is... CHOCOLATE!!! LOTS AND LOTS OF CHOCOLATE!!!"
Apparently there is also a high incidence of twins if you should be so unfortunate as to get pregnant while in the nursing program at ODU (4 sets of twins in the past 18 months and there are probably only about 150 females to choose from). As they mentioned this to us, my friend Alyson leaned over and said something to the effect of, "Thank GOD my husband is in Iraq!" If there ever was an appropriate time to say such a thing, that was definitely it. As for me, I pulled out my purse just to make sure my dad hadn't managed to ninja his way up here to steal my birth control.
All in all, I'm feeling pretty good about this and am totally up for the challenge, at least for now. Ask me again in a week.
