Exactly what am I up to?

I am not used to writing blogs, keeping journals, or anything of that nature, so,for me this is a bit of a task. Last time I didn't say much about my online school or classes or anything much at all. I guess this time around I will speak a little on that. I am attending Kaplan University online to receive my bachelors degree in health science. I;m pretty much just starting out so I have a long way to go. I started this blog because it was a requirement for my College Comp II course. Yeah, so, that's enough into that right now. I am also taking a local class to learn to drive 18 wheelers and to get my commercial driver's license (CDL). I figured I would try it and see how it worked out. I LOVED IT! I'm the only girl in class with 11 guys and 2 male instructors. Needless to say, I had to play it cool and become "one of the guys." I officially passed all my tests today in the stormy Memphis, TN weather today, and I now have a shiny new license. The class is coming to an end; we have about 6 more class days left. I am going to truly miss it. I have really had so much fun taking the course. The guys were great! They were respectful, but still colorful, entertaining, and insightful all at the same time. I will miss their company the most. This driving class, along with the 3 classes I am taking at Kaplan, are the reason that I am always pressed for time. I feel like I live in the classroom now. I look forward to the holidays and spending some time with my family and friends and thinking about something other than shifting gears, health politics, pre- tripping trucks, or studying one of the systems in the body. My brain is warped. I need a mental vacation.
