Study Crazy

Currently Husband is trying to finish his pre-requisits for his nursing degree (yes, go ahead and poke fun all you want, but once he gets his Master's Degree he'll be rocking it with the monies...hopefully).

He needs to finish 7 classes before January to be able to enter the program he is applying for in August. And this program is awesome! Its expensive as can be, but it will be well worth it as he will be graduating 18 months after beginning the program, with his bachelors degree (unlike any other program that would only be awarding him an associates degree after 2 years).

So, because the stakes are so high, he is studying like MAD. He has 3 classes (and a lab) this summer, and 4 (and a lab) in the fall. Seriously, he is at class until 9 o'clock during the week, comes home, eats something, then is up until 1 or 2 studying, just to get up the next day and do it all over again. Then on weekends, he is at the school library for 8 hours and spends most of Sunday afternoon studying.

And I admire him for all of it. He is so dedicated to his studies, because he knows how important it is for the grade and for us

Yeah, I wish I could spend more time with him, but I know that this small sacrifice will be worth it in the long run.

And I love him for it.

Nursing is an AWESOME field to be in and I hear it takes a ton of work! So, good for him (& you!) and good luck getting through these hard times. Nick has been in school for a long, long, time and it's rough but it'll be worth it in the end!
