One thing you learn about Cincinnati, some drivers are so nice and let you over, but some are HORRIBLE and don't let you merge very easily -_- i learned that quite a few times!!
The wonderful thing about living in Cincy is how close everything you need is to you, but the driving sucks sometimes, and it is SUPER stressful at points. Its all part of the learning experience though.
So today was an interesting experience for Morgan and Me. We learned that everything in Cincinnati is hard to find if you are not familure with your surroundings. This morning we had our first day of classes, we were so excited, but not excited about the time we were supposed to get up. 6:00...yes, that's right SIX IN THE MORNING! That didn't happen for me, i was rolling out of bed at 6:15, which gave me 15 minutes to get ready to leave. So we hurried up and got out to the car. Well....how lucky we were because the trash man pulled right in as we were starting the car to leave. This means there was no getting in or out of the driveway. So, we sat there until he was done taking his dear sweet time. It was now 6:40 and this started to stress us out because we needed to get to the Baldwin Parking Garage at 7:00 for the shuttle to pick us up and bring us to the college. We were pushing it and praying we could make it there without any mistakes. Unfortunately that did not happen. In fact, we got turned around so much, and never did find the garage that morning because we knew that when we finally did make it, we would be late to class. So, plan B came into effect. We parked in the visitors parking in the very back near the heart center behind the hospital. We walked through the hospital with our heavy backpacks and books, out of the hospital, into the college, and to our Nursing 120 classroom on time =) So we sat through Nursing 120, and Nursing 110 in the same class room, and we even got out of class 50 minutes early. This gave us 4 hours and 30 minutes until our A & P class at 2:30. Because we got out of class early, Bailey and Sam both came back to the apartment with Morgan and Me because they didn't want to sit at the college for four and a half hours. We ate lunch there and sat around till one thirty when we decided we needed to leave and find Baldwin. With one mess up, and a phone call to Sam's dad, we FINALLY made it. And guess what, it was the second turn that Morgan and I didn't see this morning. We were SO close to where we needed to be, but yet we couldn't do it this morning. But now that we found it, all we had to do was sit and wait for the shuttle to come, which didn't take too long. We went to A & P and it was actually very interesting. We got to learn stuff rather than spending the whole class going over the rules and such. After that, we got back on the shuttle and headed back to the parking garage. We had to take Bailey home, so as we were driving her back, we saw how backed up the traffic was on 71, so Morgan and I found an alternate route to get home and avoided all that miserable traffic. We even found an Aldi that is like three minutes from where we are!! I cooked dinner tonight, and then after that I layed on my bed reading until i fell asleep around 7. I'm pretty sure Morgan took a nap too. Now, I'm wide awake and I'm not really tired, just kind of hot. Morgan and I don't have class until 5:30 tomorrow so we don't have to have an early morning tomorrow. Well that's about it for today. I'm interested to see what event happens tomorrow =)
