What Have I Gotten Myself Into?




I know that all of you are upset that there aren't any pictures of Amelia on this post. However, I bought most of my books today for my first semester in the nursing program and had to share. Why share? Well today I purchased 22 books, and I still have a lab pack and 2 other books to buy that are not coming out until January. I think I had a small nervous breakdown while lugging these books to the car. I will not even tell you how much these cost or how one could possibly read all of these in 16 weeks. I do not think it is possible.So, for all of you looking at this picture, it was nice knowing you cause I am sure that you will not hear from me until May!

Thanks for checking in and I promise to post pics of Amelia Thursday night, while I am having a small celebration that the semester is over. Unfortunately on Friday I must start reading the 24 chapters that have to be read before class starts in January. No I am not joking.

Love ya all - Kori

Yes that looks like a ton of work (and a ton of $$ - I know how much school books cost and it's not cheap!) but you are going to ROCK next semester! You can do it!!!!

Oh my goodness Kori! I can no longer complain about the art projects I have to do, the lesson plan I have to make up for a PE class, and playing the recorder every week! You have it way worse!! But you can do it! I know you can! And you can always call me to vent or cry...I will listen!
Love you!
Kendall :)

I know what you are feeling. But you can do it and remember that you will use them not only for one semester, but all through the year. Call anytime and i will try to help as much as possible. If we need to take the little one for the weekend we can do that also, or anytime if it works with our schedule.
Congratulations and Good luck, you can do it.

So, you and Kendall both being back in school has made me seriously rethink my plan of going back for another teaching license! But, now I definitely know I have to wait because I need to be free for you to call me when you're having a school breakdown! I need all of my free time to be available for you!!
I'm with the rest, Kori, you can totally do this and you are going to be an AMAZING nurse! It's in your blood...maybe that's why you're the only one of us to venture into nursing, haha!!
Call me when you need me!!

Love ya,
Kim

I'm with the others...you'll be fine!!! My question is will you sell your books back at the end of the semester for beer money to celebrate the semester's end like we did in college?

I might have refined my tastes to wine, so I may have a full stock of wine for the summer after I sell my books back for 1/4 the amount they cost me!!!!

Thanks for the wine rack, Kendall!
And thanks for all who said I can do it! It means a lot, especially when I found out that 20 of the 60 students who entered the program in August have already failed and have been kicked out, yikes!
Love - Kori

You've got a tough road ahead of you. Ben seems to be the kind of dad that will help with Amelia and let you have the time you need for your classes. Good luck this coming semester. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

PS Thank you for the card. I so enjoy your videos and being able to see your little girl grow. The picture was one of her birthday pics, wasn't it?

Keep remembering that 40 of those 60 who entered the program in August are still in it!!!!
Think positive!

My comment for you,Kori is simply an echo of all those that went before this one---you CAN, just make up your mind that your goal is within those books and it IS
worth it!!!I am so proud of you--one of the forty who will succeed, it is work,similar to having a baby;and you've already done that,right?
Love to all the studious Machlitts,
