....is frigging awesome! I actually woke up this past Monday at 0830, panicked that I was late for class....and then realized there was no class. Best feeling ever! I only have to go to 4 seminars this summer (yay co-ops!) so I got off easy.

I realize this has no bearing on anyone's life, but I was feeling the urge to reach out :D One more semester, woot!

I'll enjoy it more in a few weeks when I'm done with micro and math! :) Enjoy!

When summer break started for me, I couldn't help but open my fall books. But, it's been over a month now and I put them away so I can truly relax. It is so nice not to have to get anything done, I'm starting to actually enjoy it.. but it took a while! lol

Your summer just started?! I've been on summer for a month and its AMAZING! When I was slaving away, I just wished for a day where I can sleep in, lay out in the backyard, watch my desperate housewives dvd's... LOL. Now it is reality, and I'm just so relaxed and thankful to have a "normal" life. The minute I got done with finals, I started working out and eating healthy and I've lost 5 lbs so far. It is so nice to be able to take care of myself once more. I did start going through my NCLEX review books, but boy is it hard to keep focus when it is 80 degree outside!

I have not been to bed before 0830 this whole summer! I love night shift!

Specializes in NeuroICU/SICU/MICU.

I graduated May 7th, and my job start date isn't until the end of July or beginning of August..so I've sorta been forced to take a summer break! I'm trying to enjoy it, it's the last one I'll ever have :p

We're on a 5 term system that stinks! It was so hard sitting through class without staring out the window at the sun :uhoh3: We don't go back till after Labor Day, but ugh....those last few weeks were the longest, ever. Technically I have 2 more terms left, but it's the equivalent of roughly one semester.

That Guy, you speak the truth! My only problem is, I've gotten so used to working 2300-0730 and going straight to class.....I'm usually not even tired when I get home. It's getting better though. I can feel the pull of laziness making me fall asleep faster :D

I'm looking forward to a long weekend somewhere on a beach in August. The oil spill is making me scramble around for alternate locations :mad: I've been looking at Maine. A cottage, sound of the ocean, and my Kindle - can't wait!

Less than 1 week. 1 test on Monday, a full day of clinical Tuesday. Then clinical until 12 Wed, then we do mid-term evals and I am DONE for 6 weeks.

I so need this break :uhoh3:
