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...

# 1 Twins fan? Definitely

Oh my goodness,
A very dear friend just made me realize just how crazy I am about the twins. Let me share a post from facebook that I just recieved from her:
"I have learned a few things though....
1.) Bert is the announcer
2.) It's "The FREAKEN RO...YALS"
3.) They are gaurenteed post-season and are "suppose" to win the World's series.
4.)Bethany is marrying one of the Twin's players (I think it's between 2)
and
5.) The 7th inning stretch can occur at any point of the game...You just need someone to know the "Take me out to the ball game theme"
How did I do?! :) "


Sadly, she pretty well nailed that one on the head! 
Might I also point out that as the beautiful fall weather comes around and the excitement of another season change a very sad event takes place as well. Baseball season is coming to a close- meaning this girl can't watch the Twins for a whole 6 months! It is a very long winter without Joe Mauer and Danny Valencia and the rest of the crew!

I should be sleeping!

Oh man,
Talk about feeling like a fish out of water! Who ever invented this blog stuff is much more complicated than what my brain can handle at 11:43 at night! It's amazing, how I somehow think that I am going to have time to blog, me of all people, blogging? Well hold on, here we go!
What a long day! Nursing test then straight to work, and finally home! You know, I spent almost 45 minutes trying to figure out the "how-to" part of posting a blog, who knows if it will actually work!
I have people telling me that they never see me anymore, and they want to know what is going on in my life. So rather then trying to keep up with a social life that is non existent thanks to nursing school, we'll attempt to do this instead, see how it goes.... tomorrow... =]
