…And then she was back.
One might say I fell off the face of the earth for Weeks #9-16. I prefer to think of it as battening down the hatches, hunkering in for a long winter, something to that extent. Basically, life got crazy in November. CrAzY. Since my last post I have flown to and from Texas, lasted through two bridal showers, spent Thanksgiving with Z and my family in SJ, endured two premarital counseling sessions, and spent a weekend at home so I could attend another dress fitting. I’ve also made Christmas goodies, written a bunch of papers, and survived finals.
Yes, that’s right: survived finals. I’m done with the first semester of nursing school! In this program that means I’ve finished the equivalent of one year of nursing school. Three more semesters to go! A year from now I will be looking forward to my residency and preparing to take NCLEX.
At present, I’ve got some packing to attend to and a wedding to get excited about. In just fourteen days I will be a Mrs. W instead of a Miss W! A little scary, but mostly exciting.
However, instead of packing just yet, I think I’m going to do a little pampering. Maybe a walk, maybe some chai… I definitely want something indulgent and refreshing right now. Semester = done = celebrate!
P.S. This is my 90th post! Way to be monumental. 
I can’t help but feel a little sorry for Frank the Fruitcake. My sympathies lie in strange places.
I’m glad the craziness had died down for you…and a new life is starting up…in a mere fourteen days! Time flies, doesn’t it?
Finals are still looming for me. Next week I’ve got biology AND my photography class, which you wouldn’t think would be difficult, but developing pictures and making prints is a fearsome beast, especially when in you’re in a hurry.
Here’s to hoping to an easy moment of relaxation for you, and a whole week’s worth of clarity of thought for me!
All love,
Rachel
