A Glass Half Full



My winter vacation from school is half over, well more than half, but I just realized this morning that I only have a week left, and I'm merely reflecting on my time off. I've had a few good lazy days, a few hectic, a couple of good recreational days, including a drive yesterday through the Cleveland National forest with my dad, which is something I haven't been able to do for a long time.

I am glad though that this time off is almost over. In my time in school, I've found that I retain many of my good study habits if my break between classes is a short one, but that on extended breaks, I get bored and lazy, and can find it difficult to get back in to a good study routine. Of course that's merely my feeling on the matter, and I'm sure there must be students out there who benefit from a longer break, I'm just not one of those. Im also happy that my semester is staggered a bit by having one of my classes start in February and ending in June, that will extend my semester a bit and bring me right up to the start of summer classes, with you guessed it, just a short break between classes (if that). And of course the end of that class will signal the start of my application process to all the local Community Colleges with a Nursing program, and all the testing/stress/running around involved, which I'm sure will be fun.....well, at least it should keep me busy.
