I just realized I used to write paragraphs and ever since I started using Twitter I've been condensed. Yes....like soup in a can. =/
Anyway...let's update:
Mini-mental note to self ~ If I ever end up like this picture here...God help me but I do share in her excitement. If that's excitement that is...or a nervous breakdown. o_0
I just finished level 2 of nursing and will be heading to level 3 (maternity/psych) in the spring. I can't believe we only have one more year to go. Time really does fly by. For now though I would like to enjoy my vacation. I have over eager friends though who seem to always want to get ahead...but really? That's not my kind of style. I live for the moment...haha. And at the moment we're on winter break til the 25th of January.
What's the point of stressing yourself out and trying to fit information in your head when the entire semester we were already burnt out. There's a reason they call it a vacation. They have kids and I think it's more important to spend this break with them instead of burying yourself in more unnecessary work. Have a weekend out to the park or something...or perhaps a zoo. I've always enjoyed zoos. My favorite part of the zoo were always the polar bears because those big oafs always looked light as air in the water.
Aside from nursing...I spent the last weekend with my pledge sisters of Sigma Psi Zeta in
Boston, MA. I even saw that bridge there passing on the T. It was indeed beautiful. The first night I was there I threw my bags down and freshened up and headed to the bar next door. Joshua Tree on Commonwealth Ave was alright. Definitely a sports bar but nevertheless...delicious food. And then a few hours later we got ready to go out again. We went to Felt. Pretty sweet club scene. 4 floors. A different environment in each. Had a Long Island Ice Tea and a Grateful Dead...expensive but the amount of alcohol they added compared to the mix definitely made the $11 price tag for each worth it. (But it was still expensive...given it was a nice place so I'll excuse it). The DJ kept us dancing for the entire evening. No complaints there. Then again the people I was with had exceptional dance skills to begin with. Amazing group and very fun bunch. We then headed to Chau Chow after...drunk and absolutely not hungry but we went anyway. Food was pretty good I guess...didn't taste anything special. Cops were watching our every move because we were a loud big group of sweaty drunks.Finally we headed back to the apt @ 4am, crashed and didn't get up til 12pm. More of my pledge sisters showed up. What a wonderful reunion. We went to the Vietnamese restaurant, Le's, and I had my first durian shake. Freakin' YUM. And my food was also delicious. I'd definitely go back there. After that we headed to the Galleria Mall to do a little shopping. The place was ridiculously packed. After an excellent purchase of a pair of gray boots we made reservations at Zocalo Cocina. The service was great. Food was delicious and so was the mango sangria. mMm. Fresh made guacamole at table side.
Theta Kappa class was almost complete that weekend. 6/7 pledge sisters. One of these days we will be 7/7 again. One was unfortunately sick with the stomach bug. But we did celebrate one being pregnant.
It's been too long since we've been all in the same room together. Hopefully it'll happen again. There's nothing like the bond I have with these girls. Even a million miles away. ♥Heading home.....was a bitch. 12/20/09 snow storm decided to come and Peter Pan and Greyhound and pretty much all of the buses cancelled their trips.
Fung Wah Bus saved the day. Chinese don't stop for nothing!!!! Thank goodness it took me to Chinatown and then I navigated my way home. Home sweet home.
....Partying is lots of fun, but it's once in a while fun. I prefer my quiet lifestyle with the love of my life. ♥
Doesn't mean I'm not gonna have fun. It is my winter break after all. ;)
