online school.

Ever wonder what online school looks like? Well, I can't really speak for other programs, but here's what an average day at school looks like for me:

[Yes...I know...I look both tired and bored. Mainly tired. Slightly bored? And a little hungry...]

I always tell people we do it Brady Bunch style so they get the idea...

Although the Bradys smile a lot more. Source

Professor Beach is in the upper left (an acute care nurse practitioner and all around rock star), TA Jackie is on the bottom row, second from the left, and the rest of us are students. Learning the night away. About the oxyhemoglobin disassociation curve! Yay science! I'm actually really impressed with Georgetown's online format. It's a special program called 2GU for Nursing@Georgetown (their online graduate studies program). The whole self-discipline side of online learning has been a bit of a culture shock, but I think I'll survive to see another semester. :)

We're knee-deep in yet another exam week for Christian, poor guy. He's been busy with a crap ton of extra curriculars (hello CPR in Prescott!) and hasn't had as much time as he'd like to get caught up. Since we were both about to go play in oncoming traffic for some sweet relief, today I called an emergency afternoon rendezvous at the movie theater. We saw My Idiot Brother (this busy business has put us SOOO far behind in the movie department) and absolutely loved it. We're big Paul Rudd fans (who isn't?) and laughed the entire time, maybe even almost shed a tear or two. If you haven't seen it yet, go.  It was just what the doctor ordered (no pun intended) and we might just have to do it more often. P.S. One perk of going to the movies at 1:30 on a weekday? Empty theater. So you can give/get tons of kisses and no one is there to give you dirty looks. :)


Me and Vies just shared some vanilla yogurt for dessert and I think it's time for bed. Hope everyone enjoyed their humpday. It's all down hill from here, right?!

XOXO,
Ash, Chris, & Viessita
