I start my second semester of nursing school in less than a month. I want to be ready, but it's going to be tough. I made it through my first semester in one piece, although there were times...well, there were times. Tough times. But somehow I got straight A's. What the heck? I still don't know how I managed it. My blood pressure went up for sure during the semester, and I started feeling really unhealthy and stressed out.
My summer break has been wonderful. Amazing. I feel better, and the blood pressure's gone way down. I have been biking, canoeing, camping, swimming, walking a lot, plus working outdoors at Gibbs Museum. I feel a lot more fit now than I did a few months ago.
Yorkshire wool socks...finished a few weeks ago...
My twin sister is planning on moving back to Latvia by next year. I will be visiting for sure-- can't wait to go back there myself. Perhaps I'll start the trip in Sweden or Finland and sail to Latvia from there.
First things first: I gotta get through the next several months. If all goes well, I'll graduate right before Christmas and take the NCLEX (nurse licensing exam) around New Year's.
In the meantime, before studies begin again: more swimming, canoeing, relaxing...lazy lazy lazy...
And watching Dark Shadows, which I've been getting into. My twin has been obsessed with this 1960s soap opera for almost 2 years now.
CIAO!
