Goodbye, Summer 2012!

Wow, this summer literally flew. I cannot believe I had 4 whole months off! I had a wonderful summer, and I wouldn't have wanted anything more or less. I got to go on so many vacations (Phoenix, Rhode Island, and to Appleton for weekend trips twice), spend time with my husband and family, see so much gymnastics and see my girls win the gold, relax just enough, and of course work and make some money. At the beginning of summer I made a list of things I wanted to do:

- Have a Harry Potter marathon with my friend Laura
- Read for a whole entire day one day and do nothing else
- Deep clean my house
- Go to Six Flags at least once -- Didn't get to do it but maybe for Fright Fest!!!
- Sleep past noon on one or more days
- Start exercising at least 4 days a week
- Organize all my Nursing papers from 1st semester
- Visit my dad once a week -- Our schedules simply just don't allow for it.
- Visit my mom once a week
- Go to the movies a few times -- Didn't go even once haha. I do want to see Ted though.
- Get together with Melissa and Amy
- Organize and save all my nursing stuff from 1st semester
- Organize my study
- Watch every major gymnastics competition since 1992 (Worlds, Nationals, Olympics) on YouTube
- Unpack and organize all of my books and make lists on which new ones I want to buy
- Get to over 2,500 pins on Pinterest -- I did get to 2,175 though! :) 
- Update my blog and LJ at LEAST weekly  (between both my personal and gymnastics blogs almost)
- Catch up on Glee (which means watch all of Season 3 online)
- Catch up on Revenge
- Watch Season 1 of Smash
- Rewatch all 5 seasons of Friday Night Lights

I definitely am satisfied with how much I got done!! I also joined the Student Nurses Association and am working toward being inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success.

I just went to my first meeting on Tuesday and I'm seriously so inspired by this Society and I'm so excited to get started on everything. I also volunteered to be a part of the Executive Board. My team and I are going for the National Excellence Award, which basically means that we are doing double the work required just to be inducted, but I know that once I get to induction night I'm going to be so proud of myself and I'm so happy about the opportunities that this is going to give me.

I start classes on Monday. I have class Monday and then I will be at a hospital working in OB Tuesday and Wednesday from 7-3. I have NSLS on Tuesdays and SNA on Wednesdays. Today I started doing work that we needed to have done before our classes begin next week and my goodness, I literally worked on it ALLLL day. I'm really excited for the semester to start and have a great one!! Aiming for a 4.0, I know that I can do it!

I'm really sick of summer weather and running my AC and fans, and I want Fall SO BADLY right now. There's leaves falling off the trees here already and its like 78 degrees, that is just not right!! LOL.  Everyone have a great weekend :)
