I want to cook real meals, read for fun, spend time with my family get a mani/pedi. Really clean my house.

  • Moving out of the rental place that I took just for school.
  • Searching for a school that I like better, and that fits my goals of becoming an OR nurse.
  • Spiffing up things that I bought to resell for profit.
  • Looking for a job in a more prosperous and thriving city.
  • Investigating just what is making my car's oil pressure light flicker sometimes.
  • Patting myself on the back for buying a diesel pickup truck and several diamond rings, because all of them increased in value at least 20-35% in the past year. :D
  • Possibly selling any or all of the above.
  • Growing actual fingernails again.
  • Wearing colored fingernail polish. Black polish, even.
  • Leaving oil, grease, and other petroleum-based black stuff under my fingernails, because I'm not a nursing student anymore. :D
  • Building a new computer, and solving all of the software problems on the old one.
  • Installing 8GB in my laptop.
  • Installing Windows 7 and Office 2010.
  • Avoiding anything like family life, church, motherhood, children, childbirth, holism, spiritualism, or The Nursing Process. Been there, done that, I gave at the office, yada yada, Happy Holidays 'n all 'at, but it's not my problem anymore.
  • Calling up all of my redneck hotshot driver friends, to see if we can go thrash the competition and make a couple of bucks hauling stuff with those diesels over the "haulidays." :D

Lots of traveling, cleaning, partying, catching w friends, lot of sleep. I will take all the books out of my sight, I will not crack any covers open. I will never mention the word test, school at all during my break. I will be anxiety, stress free oh I can't wait.

Have fun everybodyyyyy!

Today I'm going to relax and clean. I want to resume going back to the gym and going to church. I still have to do light studying for the HESI and Boards. December 21 I'm going on a carribean cruise with my hunni ( no studying on my vacay). I plan to job hunt and thats' about it. Starting in the spring I will be back to school to complete prereqs for my RN-BSN. Still learning.

I plan to spend time with my daughter, catch up on TV shows I may have missed, get lots and lots and lots of rest. As far as school, I plan to do a little reading starting in January. Right now I am taking a breeeeaaakkk!
