North Cacalacky's Journal

It's March now, only 26 months left! ha, just getting my feet wet at this point. I've had 2-3 exams a week nearly every week. The intensity is what I expected only you don't know the reality of it until your in the classes and taking those exams. Out of six classes, I have 5 A's and one very strong B at this point. I feel like I've learned so much since January, it's crazy. Definitely don't feel ready to put someone to sleep though. I'm going to be moving from the sleepy comfort of Jonesboro ...

I'm moving from the foothills of NC to Jonesboro Arkansas which is some 670 miles away for me. I don't know anyone there and I've only been to the area twice. Once for my interview and once to look for a place to live. I think I have most everything squared away in preperation for my move but I'm getting really anxious and excited ...
