Hi! Classes are so insanely busy I haven't been able to find any time to even conjure an idea of what my first blog post would be. 5 nursing prereq classes with 2 8 week courses are a lot! but, I guess a little about me and the courses i plan to talk about on here would be a good place to start

My name Is Maricela, or just Mari. I'm 19, go by she/her/hers, and am happily married to my husband, Ryan! Only married for 4 months, but together almost 5 years! In my free time i love to play the piano and read books (Right now I'm reading a book called "Endurance" i forget the author, I think by Andrew Lansing or something like that?) Currently I am a pre-health occupations major doing my prerequisites for nursing. I plan to get my nursing degree and I hope to one day specialize In respiratory care or nutrition, my big dream though is to become a Hospice Nurse.

Right now, I'm enrolled In introduction to Nutrition, Medical Terminology for the healthcare provider, Intro concepts to anatomy & physiology, cultural anthropology, and just good old english. We're already into week 5, I am beyond packed, and have my first exam in a few days. I was hoping to make blogs about the stuff I learned weekly, but that's sadly unrealistic at the moment. I spent all day today reading about Carbohydrates, the essential energy form for humans, our red blood cells and brain cells are the equivalent of picky 6 year olds, and will only consume ATP produces from carbs. There are many of odd terms to describe different carbohydrates depending on their units of sugar. Carbohydrates are made of sugar units, Carbon atoms, Hydrogen atoms, and Oxygen atoms. 1 sugar unit? Monosaccharide. 2? Disaccharide. 3? Polysaccharide. 3-10 holy shit? Oligosaccharide. humans like sugar, there's a lot of sugar, Glucose is the main kind, Fructose, Galactose and Lactose also are around. There's seriosuly too much from each chapter for me to be able to form a simple summary, we'll see how I'll keep up. I make quizlets of my chapters every single week, so I could post the links of those.

Outside of that, I have a few interests that I do try to indulge in whenever I have a moment. Most recently I've been rewatching the Simpsons, I like Iron Lung both the game and the movie, I love fallout, fallout 4 Is my favorite. Every now and then I look at the welcome home website, I love primates, minecraft, good mythical morning, and ultrakill to name a few things!

I'm not too sure what else to say, frankly I'm worried how this will actually look on the page, we'll find out together. I'm not sure how consistent I can be with blogs, I am horrible at managing my time, I'm thinking of making a status box on the main page to post small updates to at least be more active. Either way, I hope it'll interest somebody somewhere, Thanks for reading!
