I'm laying in bed, snug as a bug in a rug- no thoughts of guilt, no places to be. I just can hang out all day. Clean up. Pack. Reorganize. A great day ahead.
Our tests were pretty gross this semester. On the whole, the classes weren't difficult. The teachers threw curveballs on the final exams... without giving us a curve. There were a few moments of rage/tears/sadness and many moments of defeat and stress. It'll turn out okay. I think.
Yesterday we had our last final at 8 am. We had a double whammy on Tuesday, so studying Tuesday night was nearly impossible. My roommates and I made the terrible mistake of flipping the tv on and discovering that the Madonna and Brittney Spears episodes of Glee were on. Even after the shows were over, I could not look at printed words. I decided to go to bed and get up early. I've been setting early alarms and running through the material before going to take the test- which works pretty ok as long as I have hot fresh coffee in my hands. I get to the test, and thankfully I brought reading glasses to help becuase it was crazy long. It was for our Evidence Based Medicine course. She handed out a 12-page 75 question test with a separate reading packet- equally as long. It reminded me of taking the ACT. One of my favorite Peds docs was walking through the lobby outside the test as we were finishing, "I haven't seen you guys this happy in a LONG time!!" No ma'am. You have not.
After the test, I ran out and grabbed a few gifts for roommates. Jessie has been "feezin cold" all week "I don't know how people live like this!" (low of 25 degrees). I got a cute hat (with ear flaps and braids) at Target and then found a (sort of) matching scarf/glove/hat combo at NY&C. She loved it. I got Kaila some jewelry. She liked hers a lot as well.
Last night we had some friends over for a potluck. I prepared a sangria that had time to yummify over night. SUPER yummy. Here's the "recipe" that I, of course tweaked: Citrus Rum instead of the brandy and apples instead of grapes-- things I had on hand. I also whipped up some mashed 'taters (from Dad's garden) and some deviled eggs-- that I forgot in the fridge- so if anyone wants one (or two) come on down!! OH Almost forgot. I made Chicken Dip. Mom used to make it when my friends would come over in HS. A nice gooey chicken/chiles/cheese/ and various forms of cream (sour, cheese, celery soup). So many other wonderful dishes!! We also did a Grab Back/Dirty Santa gift exchange. I ended up with a nice tin of ghirardelli squares. holla! Sam brought Apple Pie- the drink-- we celebrated the end of the year with a few shots of that sweeet sweeeeeeeeeeeet business.
Tomorrow we three girls are traveling a far... OK not really. We're going to NASHVILLE! We're hoping to do a little sight seeing and then go to see GARTH BROOKS in CONCERT!! I don't even know what else to write. IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME. I'd better find my battery charger for my camera. Then Kaila and I will drive back to MEM to fly out Saturday morning. I found cheap (ish) tickets non-stop into Omaha by lunch! Whirlwind of awesome. Hopefully the weather cooperates.
ok. probably better do laundry. i think i've had a load in the dryer (dry) since saturday...
