I think (I hope) that spring has finally sprung on the little island. Yesterday was a warm (well, about 40F) sunny day and today it's actually raining instead of snowing! Just the last two days of above freezing temperatures have helped melt some snow and even though that means a lot of puddles and flooding, I'm happy to say goodbye to the snow and the cold.

According to my countdown app, I have nineteen days left until I go home for my short vacation. Because I don't have classes on Thursdays with radiology being over and because we have Good Friday and the Monday after Easter off, I have only five days left of classes! A lot of my friends are getting antsy and nervous but I feel kind of...normal? I guess it's because I have the first block off but I'm not too stressed about starting clinics just yet. That, or my brain is trying to pretend it doesn't know that I'm going to be shouldering a heck of a lot more responsibility in a little over a month.

What I'm getting impatient for is going home! They've been having beautiful weather and I'm already planning some fun things to do - hiking some of the extensive trails at state parks, visiting Arlington National Cemetary (and other historical stuff I've never done despite living right outside DC all of my life...whoops), catching up with my family and my sister, celebrating my first anniversary, going skeet shooting and just having the time to take a little breather before I launch into the beginning of the end of vet school. I can't wait to actually have nice weather, get outside and soak in some vitamin D! (Speaking of health stuff, I started a 30 day ab challenge and a 30 squat challenge. I think I'm going to regret these decisions quite quickly, heh.)

Now I just need to get through those final exams.
