13 more days...only 13 more days

These last few weeks have been challenging, but the end is finally in sight.

Brain power-wise, this semester has been one of the easier ones, but there has been so much little crap that we've had to do, I'm about to cut my left foot off. We had to get 40 volunteer-type hours, which doesn't sound like too much but when you can only do it in 2 to 4 hour blocks it drags on and on. We had to attend 2 AA meetings (which I haven't done yet, oops...anyone wanna go to an AA meeting this Saturday?) for my addiction class..............
I won't bore you with the rest, but it has just been a lot of "on your own time" kind of requirements and I usually use "my own time" to study so it has become a big mish mash of frustration and fatigue trying to get through each week.

Things to look forward to:

-May 8th is the big day!!! No more classes, quizzes, lectures, labs, or exams (except the summative exam in december and the NAPLEX exam next summer but since they are so far away we're not going to count them right now)

-I get to take a mini-vaca to STL for my brother's graduation in May. Katie also graduates this weekend from nursing school and, at least for right now, is gonna work in LR.

-Baby Sis is graduating in May too. She'll be heading to college soon. Sad but also exciting.

-All my intern rotations are in LR or NLR. Woohoo!! No crazy traveling around the state. (I'll tell you more about these in there own post.)

-I-phone. June 23. Oh yes, you will be mine.
