Today is orientation for the Respritatory Therapy program that I will be starting on Monday!!
I have been working toward this for 2 years! I'm anxious and excited. I can't wait to meet my classmates. We will be together for the next 2 years. I ordered my books from Amazon Textbooks and don't have them yet but I talked to a classmate last night and he said they are HUGE! Oh joy, a backpack that weighs almost as much as I do! One of the classes has 3 books. I should have my books today. I am leaving my garage door open so the UPS man can leave them on the steps to the door.
Well, I better go get dressed.
Runner Nerd
back to school
The adventures of the world's oldest college student.
About Me
- Lorenda
- I am a runner, I've run 6 marathons and every race distance between that and 5K. I have done 1 sprint triathlon so far. I started this blog when I went back to college in Jan. 2009 at the age of 46.(thus the title, "runner nerd"!) I was the world's oldest college student! I graduated December 15, 2012 first in my class! I really was a nerd! After a long career in EMS, I needed a change. Since earning my degree, I work in a hospital as a Respiratory Therapist. I have 2 grown up kids.
