In the bag

Second quarter is in the bag, baby! I can't believe I'm already through my first semester of nursing school! I'm also feeling pretty good because this quarter, I earned a 4.0 grade point average...that means I got ALL A's!

So now I have a week to stick at home and remember what life used to be like before I was absorbed by deadlines and papers and reading, always reading...

Then it's back to school in January for another enlightening 12 weeks of school. On next quarter's menu: Psychology, Microbiology and Physiology. Mmmmmm, tasty.

I'm excited to spend some extra time with my kiddos the next few days and even more excited for Christmas morning. This year has been hard for me because we're so broke, but thanks to family and friends who are too amazing for words, the kiddos will not notice a difference in the amount of gifts waiting for them under the tree.

I'm already planning Christmas in a few years when I'll be finished with school and hopefully in a financial situation where I can repay the goodwill that has helped our family these last few weeks. As for now, I think I'll reward my efforts with a quick re-read of Twilight. I've earned me some Edward time, don't you think? I'm off to Forks, WA...be back next year!
