Two weeks in...

Well, this is the first opportunity I've had since my first day at Uni to update my Blog!
Things are slowly falling into place...nearly had a meltdown trying to make sense of all the timetables...finally got it all together and diary organised! :)
I'm now feeling more settled and ready to get stuck into the first assignment for 'The Human Body and Mind' module....I need to brush up on my Cells knowledge! :) We also have to do a small group presentation in a few weeks, which I am nervous about but at the same time I'm excited to try and over-come my fear of public speaking :)
Hubby and kids are adjusting well, and we haven't had any major problems at home just yet...everyone is being fed, watered and getting to work/school/college/uni on time! :)

1st Day...

Day one has been amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute! Have been given lots of information which I will read over in bed tonight :) 
So pleased with the group I am in...I'm with my lovely friend from college and also quite a few of the peeps from our Facebook page...perfect!
Cant wait to do it all again tomorrow....only this time we need to make our own packed lunch as today Uni provided a gorgeous buffet for us all...fabulous! :):)

5 more Sleeps...

That's all...5 more little sleeps before my birthday..and my 1st day at uni! I can not wait!! :)
Yesterday a few of us 'student nurses' met up for coffee's and a chat...everyone seems really nice. I think this pre-uni ice-breaker has definitly helped with the nerves..there will be plenty of familiar faces on Monday morning now! :)
Have started to fill in our family wall planner in an attempt to be organised next week...hubby and the kids are all aware that things are going to change but know its for the benefit of us all! :) I have every faith that they will just get on with whatever they need to do...its certainly going to be an adventure for us all! :)

It's all coming together....

So...things are beginning to feel like they are coming together...have received a welcome pack from uni...the induction timetable was included....all a bit mind boggling and exciting at the same time :) Still no password to enable me to enrol online though :-/
Meeting up with some others who will also be at Brooke's ('met' on Facebook) on Wednesday night for a drink...should deal with some of the first day nerves...everything is easier when there are a few familiar faces about :)
Had to call Bursaries as they are asking for evidence of taxable benefits which I don't receive!! Nightmare!! Hopefully award will be sorted soon :)
Had a good chat with my hubby today and he made me realise how far I've come already on this journey....I'm so lucky to have him by my side for support :) Love him! :)
Also, spent a few hours with my sister and little nephew today, which was lovely. My sister is a school nurse and she did her diploma 12 years ago so she always has wise words for me :) My little sister doesn't realise just how much of an inspiration she has been to me....am so very proud of her :)
