Finals week: DONE!!

I’m happy to report that I have successfully completed my first semester of PA school!!! *happy dance*

This past week has been a whirlwind.  The script went something like this: stay up late, study, get 5 hours of sleep, wake up, study, take test, repeat.  Needless to say, I’m exhausted for the first time in a long time, simply because I can be!  I’m really proud of my academic performance this semester.  No C’s, no academic probation, and I get to come back to do this all over again in the summer.  Some of my colleagues will not be able to say the same.  However, there is great room for improvement.  I started off quite strong in the beginning, but slowly, as the workload got heavier and heavier, I began to procrastinate.  And that, folks, spells disaster.  I can’t let that happen in the summer, and it surely can’t happen in the fall semester.  So today, I am rewarding myself with…yep you guessed it…SALSA!  Party starts at 10:30pm, and I intend to stay until they throw me out.

I head home tomorrow to spend the next two weeks with the cop (oops, sorry…Detective) and Linc.  I can’t wait to see them and my entire family.  And now that I’m dancing mostly on2, I’m looking forward to seeing my salsa folks back home and showing them all the stuff I’ve learned while I’ve been away.  It’s gearing up to be a busy, fun-filled summer break.  Much needed, and much deserved.

I’ve already written about what classes await us this summer.  I’m really looking forward to getting my hands dirty.  The summer semester is only 1 1/2 months long, so there will be no time to play around.  Right now, the summer semester is the last thing on my mind, but I know myself.  Give me one week of no studying, no reading, no medicine, and I’ll be wishing I were back up here with a million and one things to do. 

I plan to check back in with you guys once I return.  Until then, happy summer break!
