December 17th.

That was the date of my last entry.  This may give you an idea of how this semester has gone.  Ca-razy busy.  I cannot believe it is April 2nd already.  Only three weeks of classtime left, four weeks of school if you include finals and last clinical days and I will have year one under my belt.  It has been the most stressful year of my life. 

So much has happened in the past few months including a decision for Allen to move to Maui this summer to take a great job.  While this will be great in the long term, it will be really hard over the next year.  I am going to spend the summer with him (while I do summer school, yay. At least it's Maui...). And then I am going to Africa for 2 weeks for the culmination of my environmental health class.   When I come back from Africa I will have exactly 2 weeks and school will start up again.  It will be 5 months before I get to see my dear husband again.  It has been 6 years since we were last apart this long and I am not relishing it.  At least I will have school to keep me busy.

And keep me busy it does.  I try and take at least one day a week and just do nothing, but I pay dearly for that one day.  If I don't take it however, I quickly become a crispy burnt out nursing student.  What am I saying.  I am a crispy burnt out nursing student.  This one day just allows me to revive a few brain cells.  Yesterday I napped for 5 hours.  This was longer than I slept for either of the two nights before. 

I am too old for this. 

I keep envisioning myself at the beach with a good book and a cold beer.  This will help me to make it through the next few weeks. 

I hope I make it here before another three months has passed.  I make no promises.  I will however post pictures from Maui and Africa.  They promise to be spectacular :)

<3 you all !
