End of Spring Semester

Spring semester ended yesterday, finally. With it, Maternal Newborn and Pathophysiology ended as well. What would be nice is a break between the spring and summer semesters, but of course we aren't getting one. Summer semester starts on Monday. Nutrition and Issues in Nursing continue on, and we pick up Community Health and Pediatrics. So my new clinical starting next week will be Peds. Oh joy.

Right now, on this non-break of a weekend, I am trying to write my paper for Issues class, which is worth 70% of my grade. It's been a long time since I could sound off about anything I want in a paper! It's due on Monday. I also have to get my stuff together to take the Nutrition midterm...no cramming necessary because it's online, open note and book, and I have two hours, so I just have to organize the notes.

I went to the mall today by myself because the man's away visiting his hometown. It was a very relaxed day of shopping, manicure, massage (I tried that Aqua massage thing at the mall...it was only ok) and eating out with only Sister Outsider to keep me company. I planned to see a movie, but there was nothing good except Spider Man which I promised to see with the man, and Disturbia which is a group outing scheduled for next week.

PS: I saw "The Namesake" last week and it was really, really good - and this is coming from someone who sees a LOT of movies! It was so refreshing to see a movie with brown characters, living real lives and dealing with real issues like assimilation.
