Unofficially summer for me :)!
I took my last final on Thursday and I’ve just been working and relaxing and it’s been fun.
Stuff I want to do over the next couple of months:
- Go on an adventure. For me, that probably means driving somewhere more than a few hours away. We shall see what happens in that front though. There is some discussion of a road trip. I don’t want to go by myself, so it really depends on whether or not I get someone to come with me.
- Finish my CNA class and take the exam to be certified and start applying for jobs and find something flexible with an agency or w/e so I can just work Saturdays. My job now is great, but I think it’s really only going to work out for me for summer/breaks. I could still fall back on it for a Saturday especially since I’ll probably make more money but I’d rather get a job in something more relevant to my field.
- Make significant progress on books I have been working on reading: Les Mis (this is a marathon book to read, my gosh. Hugo drives me nuts with how much he is talking about war and random historical stuff), Discovering the Old Testament (I picked it back up today and realized that I was like over half way through it…power through!), the Bible (rereading it but still, I definitely glazed over some parts on the first read through), On Cloud Nine manual/guide (though I’m not really sure how useful it’s going to be at this point, we shall see what happens in that regard), a bunch of comic books my friend lent me (MOSTLY BATMAN
!), and tentatively….the Hobbit and/or Fellowship of the Ring. I doubt it though, seeing as I am only like 360 pages into les mis and it’s literally a brick.
- Go to the zoo.
- Go to the aquarium. Possibly the farther away one, but most likely the more local one as I don’t think I’ve been to that one ever?
- finish my online CPR stuff before my actual class meeting.
- read ahead in my micro book? Let’s see if this actually happens. Because I’m still debating if I want to buy the international version or not. Tough choices.
- see more of my lovely niece
- possibly cook more. I have been procrastinating on buying Tikka Masala sauce for Indian food. I also have an Indian grocery store at my disposal. I need to take advantage of that.
- Sad to say, but I need to finish season 9 of grey’s anatomy. lol
- buy all the nursing supplies
….but I won’t get that email until June.
- final grades. I did well in anatomy, but I still don’t have my English grade.
I lost focus on this. I’m cleaning out my computer because it’s getting to be slooooooooooooow.

I recently watched a series of lectures on the New Testament by Bart Ehrman, was really impressed, and read one of his books and started another. He knows his stuff and he’s easy to understand.

Les Miz is ponderous. We read a section about Jean Valjean and the Bishop’s candlesticks in 9th grade, so I decided to read the whole thing and it took MANY MONTHS.
You might like A Tale of Two Cities too. The settings and the issues are the same.
