It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (Break)

Today was a good day. I did only 150 practice questions for our HESI today and got a 96.4%!! WHOA! This left a good taste in my mouth as the next HESI I take will be the real one that I have to pass in order to graduate from TWU's nursing program. Boy, I hope that goes well.

Yesterday was a good day, too. I did well enough on my Pediatrics HESI that I do not have to try on nor study for the final exam. This frees up a lot of study time for the other two final exams on which I will both have to study prior to and try during.

I leave for a cruise to celebrate the marriage of Seth's cousin in 11 days. I am excited because we are departing from Florida and I have never been to Florida or been on a cruise. Seth and I will also be taking our first flight together on the way back from Florida! Lots of firsts in the next couple of weeks. :)

AND we got our Save-The-Dates today! I was a little surprised to see that they are the consistency of photo paper, but I can't be upset as they were pretty much the price of photo paper. :) We are VERY happy with them!

The end of this semester is in sight. And then I will only have one semester remaining in my undergraduate career. This is both frightening and wonderful at the same time. :)

P.S., We finally got decaffeinated coffee, which is wonderful because I can satisfy my desire for coffee without the addiction/jitter. :) Great things are happening, people.

So close....

So it has been a while since I blogged last. The semester has gotten pretty rough since the last time I wrote. I have 5 tests & no classes left until the end of the semester. And I'm pretty sure that I am done with 6 hour lecture days (until Grad school, that is). There is so little time until the semester is over and I remember knowing that this semester would both fly and last forever. Here are some random facts from my thoughts at this moment:

1) 11 days, 20 hours, and 10 minutes until I complete the last of my finals.

2) I have to try harder on these finals than every before to fight for As.

3) I realized that I am very blessed to be fighting for As instead of struggling to pass. I still want the As just as bad.

4) I turned in my capstone (the Honors project we have to complete to graduate from the TWU Honors program. It was that 25 page monster I have mentioned many times before).

5) I get to see Seth in 17 days and 2 hours. At this time, we will be meeting his family for a cruise where we will celebrate the marriage of his cousin Amber.

6) We ordered our Save-The-Dates the other day and I realized just how sad I am that I cannot invite everyone that I want to.
Advice of the day: Don't book your locations until you really think about who you want to invite.

7) This semester has come very near sucking most enjoyment out of my life and I feel like I have gotten more and more bummed out by the second.

8) Next semester will be my last semester of regular college EVER.

9) I have officially decided I want to be an ICU nurse. :)

10) I get to marry my favorite person in the whole wide world in 183 days!!

*Sigh* How can I be so excited for somethings and feel so bummed about others at the same time? Becoming more and more responsible sucks.

I can't wait for retirement.
