Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Officially Difficult

Another day of cramming.

Another Facebook status update complaining about the cramming.

"Anatomy and Physiology = blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah"

Sent my practise test to someone who loves Anatomy and Physiology, so that she could help me, but even she struggled, claiming, much to my relief, that the wording of the questions sets the student up to fail.

I can only hope that the practise tests are made difficult so that the actual exam ends up being easier than expected.

Adoring Husband asked me to read out one of the questions.

Adoring Husband then said "If I ever ask you again to read out a question, belt me over the head."

So now I have 24 hours to try to absorb as much information as possible. Tomorrow will be youtube day ... I have a list of about twenty videos that I want to watch, and I hope that by the end of the day, I will have a much better understanding and all of those nasty words will become more familiar to me.

Oh my brain is so tired!

Nite all.
