Belated Earth Day Post:

Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer. Camp out among the grasses and gentians of glacial meadows, in craggy garden nooks full of nature's darlings.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings, Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature's sources never fail.
--John Muir

Hmm . . .

Is it bad that I don't know what to do with myself when I'm not studying?

I feel like there are plenty of things I imagine myself doing when I'm studying, but when I actually have the time, my mind goes blank . . .

Some long-ish term goals I've pulled from the deep dark crevices of my brain (the small areas that are not saturated with nursing knowledge) are:

1. Go camping/hiking with Mckenna 

(Perhaps here)

2. Paint my room

(I'm thinking this color)

3. Watch this from Netflix

(Looks pretty baller)

GLEE

I jammed out to the soundtrack driving home from school today . . .

It's back tonight!

9:28 sharp!

I can't wait!

HAPPY

There is a lot of happiness going on in my life right now, so I thought I'd share. . .

1) I saved sim man

He's this cool guy who can talk and have abnormal heart rhythms, lung sounds, his chest rises when he breathes, you can monitor is O2 saturation, temperature, heart rate, and he has peripheral pulses, the list goes on and on. 

Anyways, he was having some trouble. So I saved him and am now COMPLETELY finished with clinical.

That's right DONEZO.

2) I received an AWESOME letter from this guy

I love letters. I'm bad at writing them but I LOVE getting them. Especially from people who are doing fun and exciting things, like hiking the southern half of the Appalachian Trail 

(I'm so jealous)

3) SPRING

I know I posted about it before, but I just love it so much! Seriously, I don't remember everything smelling so good and being so vivid. 

(View from my kitchen table where I spend appx 80% of my life studying, writing papers, doing homework, reading, and of course eating. duh)

Spring spring spring, I love spring, springy spring spring

It just makes me HAPPY.
