Is it just me? I feel like I need to be studying something! It's driving me insane. Can't wind down from the semester and don't know what to do with myself, LOL.

Me too!! Now that the semester is over, I'm actually a little bored. I'm going to start reading for my next class tomorrow. I may even exercise!

I know that feeling!

Just completed the semester yesterday, my very last semester doesn't begin until January 12, and I'm "forcing" myself to not do anything related to nursing school until at least a week before school resumes.

I'm feeling all sorts of guilt, but I can manage it...!

Exercise is a good idea...i NEED that!!! Maybe I'll re-read what I've learned for an hour each day and exercise.....and clean my house...oh and remake some friends! LOL

Ha im with you, I feel like I need to be studying. However my instructors made it clear that over the break we should check our email and website for reading lists, and we also have our math test the first day back. So I am sure in the next few days I will start studying again.

I'm jealous -- not done until next Thursday! :-(

But then only one more semester! I can't believe the end is almost here!

Finished yesterday and all I did tonight was sit on the couch and play games . I do feel a little weird like I should be studying. My house needs some serious attention so I think that and making christmas cookies will be my tasks for the next few weeks. Enjoy your break everyone!

My final for this quarter is done, but..... I have been doing a bunch of NCLEX questions yesterday and today.... and I have some reading assignments to do. But I really need to get some gifts wrapped and sent out....

Oh! and catch up on my laundry and housecleaning! Yeah, that!!

but yeah, it's hard to stop studying.....it's such a rut!

Oh that's so funny! I am sitting here in front of my books for January convincing myself to do some other things today besides tearing into them! I just finished finals yesterday....

(I will tear into them this afternoon ......)

We can slowly take ourselves off the "study habit" and perhaps by the holidays we can spend an entire day without studying...

But I would not bet on it!

I'm not done 'til Thursday either (and therefore should be studying right now!) but I remember the feeling well . . . happens at the end of every semester. SUCH a weird feeling. I'm happy, but don't know what to do with myself, and then I do get bored! This year I will be madly Christmas shopping though the week after the final, then I'm going to visit my parents in NC. My kids are home for two weeks . . . and I have a ton of cleaning to do. I'll manage and then the break will be over too soon!

I feel the exact same way ! I feel guilty for not starting to read for the next two classes. Don't know what to do ! I'm at work bored as can be. Maybe I will start reading something for next semester, guess it wont hurt! Its like my mind and body is so accustomed to nursing school I can't stop. I'm still talking in my sleep about things learned in NS, and having dreams too. I can't escape AHHHHHH !

I've been baking cookies, driving for field trips, going to church, being a mom for the last few days. Finals were Tuesday.

As soon as our bookstore gets the modules in for Med/Surg next semester, I'm gonna be working on that. I figure it never hurts to go in knowing something.
