A-A-A

Well, summer classes are over, grades are in, and amazingly I was able to get straight A's this semester!! I am really proud of myself this term, because it was really tough continuing school into the summer and staying motivated to do all of the work. I now have a little over three weeks to rest and relax, which if my meeting with my adviser is any indicator, it will not be restful. 

Yesterday I had a how are you doing meeting with my adviser and we discussed what is coming up with me the rest of my time at St. Martin's. This upcoming semester I have a drug & alcohol class as well as a research class, then the following semester will be all thesis all the time. So, it was suggested to take these three weeks to research, get my team together, and look for resources. Well, that changes my summer plans to... taking this week to rest and reap my rewards. Then the next two weeks doing research and connecting resources at Fort Lewis and through St. Martin's. The last and third week I will be home and the only homework I will be doing will be getting a head start on my reading for the upcoming semester. It makes the summer a little more stressful, but I am still going to take some time to enjoy so I don't get burnt out. 

Now, back to movies, girly time (since hubby is at work), and snacks for dinner!! 

Let Summer Begin!

School is Almost Out for SUMMER!

Well, tomorrow is my last day of class for the summer and I am beyond excited. I have three and a half weeks of summer vacation to relax, enjoy, and not think about homework (though I will be trying to read ahead for my classes in the fall). This summer semester has certainly been tough, but all in all I made it and I am a stronger person because of it. 

In my Army life I am a busy bee doing all sorts of things and going to all sorts of meetings for the FRG. Coming up for us is Organizational Day (O-Day) which will be the 12th and is a huge carnival type activity outside of the hospital. I am super excited about helping with it and meeting all sorts of new people. 

Also exciting news in three weeks from today I get to go home and visit my family for about 5 days! I am really excited to see everyone and to spend some time with my parents! Other then that there is no news, which I suppose is good news.
