Officially a nursing student

So today was my first day of class... Well, it was more of an overview of what's expected and how the semester will progress... I enjoyed being back in a classroom setting. I'm a nerd and love school.
We took an assessment test for nurses through ATI (an online software that helps prepare students for the NCLEX- a test to get licensed). It's to be used as a guide to show you which subject areas you should focus on. They compared it to the ACT. Anyway, I got 84% correct, which was higher than 94% of the country. To say I was happy is an understatement! Considering I haven't been in school in over a year, I didn't think I would do good. My score makes me cautiously optimistic about the next 2 yrs.!
I go back to class Thursday, they gave us tomorrow and Wednesday off for the 4th, and I'm glad. I needed a gradual adjustment. I was worried about being able to pump, but today I pumped at 12 and 5. Not every 3 hours like I usually do at home, but I'm sure 5 hours will be fine. Plus, I've got plenty stored! The big test will be balancing being a student, mom, and wife. I have faith that God with give me the strength I need though!
Isaiah 40:31 NIV
31 but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Stay motivated!
