Study break

I knew I wasn't going to be very good at keeping up with this blogging thing, but I think that it is about time I update this page again- whether or not anyone actually reads it, it is kind of nice to just "speak" what is on my mind.

Here I am sitting in one of my favorite coffee shops in Orange City- De Koffiehoek & Bistro with my friend as we attempt to study for an OB nursing test that we have scheduled for 7:15 tomorrow morning. 7:15 am test means getting out of bed around 6am to have coffee in the travel mug and the car scraped off in time to scramble to class by 7:14- its going to be an early morning! Not to mention I've got this nasty cold and I'm going through a Kleenex box a day to try to keep up! Ugh. 
I love the atmosphere of this little coffee shop, the sun is shining in through the windows warming the room, the music is quiet in the background and the occasional typing from across the room reassures me that we are not the only ones in this place studying! However, I seem to find that between the coffee, the fireplace and the incredibly comfortable chairs, this is a much better environment for social hour than study hour.


I'm having a hard time focusing and staying motivated as this semester is rapidly coming to a close! Its already February 7th with Spring Break right around the corner! But there are OH so many things to be excited about and to look forward too! Let me share with you my list of excitments!
        1. Spring break is only a month away!
        2. BASEBALL SEASON is only 53 days away!!!
        3. I start my OB clinical rotation this week Thursday
        4. In May I graduate, and
        5. Jeremy and Becky (a VERY close friend) are getting married!!-- meaning myself and my GPS friend           "Richard" will be making the trek to Michigan in only a few short months
And that is just the beginning! With baseball on my mind I can only begin to dream about all the fun times this summer is going to bring, but then I am brought back to now and how I'm supposed to be studying for tomorrow's test.


Well here's to a great start to the week- Happy Monday! One day at a time and we will get to May...
