I started my new semester at Moorpark College on the 13th. I am taking Human Anatomy, Tuesday and Thursday’s from 6pm to 10pm. It is not going to be an easy class but it is very interesting. We are going to be doing cat dissections in our lab. On the second class the professor brought out two cadavers and I didn’t have any problems. In fact, I actually found it quite fascinating. One side of each cadaver was cut open so you could view the organs, and the professor, who is a doctor, picked up the intestines to show us how little holds it to the body. My class ended up only needing 3 books for the semester, which ended up being $400. It’s truly criminal how much Colleges charge for books. I feel like I will be in school forever. Who knows, I might even still be in school when Andi starts College. With work I can only take 1 class at a time and that is a good thing because I only have hard science classes left. Going to Moorpark College is making me feel really old. I am only 24 but I am going to school with 18 year olds. I feel like that was a lifetime ago. My Mom went to Nursing School at BYU. She never graduated because she ended up marring my Dad. I think part of why I want to go into nursing is because of my Mom. She almost always knew what to do with any medical situation and wanted to help everyone. I have spent a good amount of time in the hospital and I know the dramatic difference a good nurse can make. Also, in my health-challenged family someone needs to have some kind of medical training.

I'm so happy you like your class - it will make it a little easier to get through it if you are interested in the topic. It must be nice to know you have the stomach for that stuff. I don't think I would know until I got there. Have fun with it!
Amen! We do need a "doctor in our house" more often then I'd like to think. I know you'll do awesome, we're very proud of you and Ben for working so hard on your education. It will be a blessing to all of us!
Keep it up! You will finish sooner than you think time flies by so fast. Just look at Ben he is almost done with his Masters, and I know when he started he never thought it would end.
The class sounds like a lot of work, but very interesting. Those are actually some of the best classes, since you learn a lot.
When I was at the Y, I was playing racquetball in the fieldhouse. I hit the ball up onto the observation deck and had to go up and get it (a long route to get there). It had rolled into a room with a large metal tank. Being curious, I popped it open. Cadaver. Quite a shock! I ran like heck back to the court. A room mate and I went to check it out a few weeks later and the room was locked. Oh, well. Not what one wants to see when you don't expect it!
