"vacation."

the outward expression, of the internal sentiment for all nursing students in that glorious week/week & a half between semesters... aka, "vacation".

it's yucky outside.

yucky weather days like these should* be depressing & send me in to a similar mood.. but from the second i got started this morning, i've been surrounded by so many that light up the day just by being in it. their "color" makes every day THAT much better. ...and who can complain about that?! i'm a lucky girl. :)

"straight up"

every day, most of us get up & put on our "adult costume". ...just never let the 'real you' get too far away. ;o)

happy nurses day.*

never-ending 'thanks,' to the NICU... for showing me just how much i am in love with my profession, every single day. :)

because i probably don't realize it enough.

a few bridges later.

i know it's been a few days. sorry. i've been a little... busy. :)
