break

okay well I typed a really nice entry about what I am going to be doing for the next few days, but it deleted so I am going to give you the short version.

My spring break began today, and usually this would not mean much, as I work full time and partime, so it simply means no school for a week. But this year I have managed to finangle 5 glorious days off, well okay three days plus my weekend. Ha ha!

I am doing a whole lot of nothing tomorrow. some laundry, banking, and packing, because I am going paddling baby, (for you non paddlers, this means Kayaking!!) we are headed to the Alafia river, which has some rapids, requires some agility, supposed jungle scenery, and a moderate current. oh yeah, I am looking forward to the pleasant burn in my muscles, and the sound of water slapping my paddle.

After this we head to Orlando, and when I say we, I mean me and my bestest buddy in the whole wide world! So that just makes the whole trip that much better! There we will take on the coasters of Islands of Adventure once again. Long overdue my friends, long overdue!

It is about time for a real break, I needed it or I was about to break. I stress too much, and I know it, but it is part of what keeps me so focused, and motivated... It must pay off some because today, yes today, I earned my first A on a test at UF. Normally this would be no big deal, becuase I was a 4.0 student, but UF is literally kicking my arse... like I have serious bruises... (to my ego) Anyhow, this was not just any old A either, it was a 100%. Go ahead, say it outloud, you know you want to, 100%. I think I finally have my psychology teacher's method down. Now if I could just do the same for Statistics for Engineers, we would be good. Don't misunderstand me, my grade in there is salvagable, but wow, it is a low B. It will take everything my brain has got to pull that up! But enough about the school stress.... see I really do need this break. I take it seriously, and what is worse, I take it personally, to heart when I don't do as well as I think I should. But hey... what can you do?

Well loves, until I return... blog on!
