Late update

So now that I'm well into week 2 I will say that yes I have dived head first into my classes. Quick somebody grab some wood and knock on it because right now I'm actually caught up. This term I decided to go with a different schedule. I take each day of the week and devote it to a particular class. So for instance today I'm working on Women's Health in advance of taking the first exam tomorrow and then tomorrow I'll work on another class. Is it helping my procrastination? Some. I guess my grades will show how this schedule works out for me. In addition to taking women's health, I'm also exploring the business of side of birth in my market research class. I'm hoping to reach some of our closed minded community members through some birth surveys and education. I feel like if I'm going to practice in this area I need the support of everyone- physicians, nurse practitioners, and hospital CEO's in addition to the women and their families. And lastly I have intrapartum. I ordered my pelvis model and fetal head today after unsuccessfully attempting to draw my own version yesterday. I actually am looking forward to going deeper into this class because I'm fascinated at the things that go on in labor that you can only see and recognize as a provider. I'm secretly hoping that the enthusiasm will translate into an "A" in this class since it counts for 4 credit hours.
Anyway, for now I'm good and I'm counting down to my first cruise in 20 years, my 30th birthday (fast approaching in less than a month), and finally making it to the famed AABC birth center conference. Thank you to all who continue to read and watch me grow into this new life. XOXO
