November 25 is:

- 1 month till Christmas

- 1 month till my li'l niece/nephew is due

- 20 days till I start Christmas holidays

- American Turkey Day

Countdowns are wonderful things :) I quite enjoy them. I have actually been counting down the days until my Christmas holidays start for quite some time now. I think I started when there were 65 days left. How encouraging it is to be at 20 already! I am also thoroughly excited that there is only 30 days until Christmas! Our place is decorated for Christmas already. We figured that we may as well since we won't be here right up until Christmas. We may as well enjoy it while we can! Here are our two 'major' Christmas decorations:

This is our Christmas tree. We don't have any lights, but I still like it :)

This is my Nativity set. I love it.

Also, Happy Turkey Day to our friends to the South :)

Enjoy the weekend...and all the snow :)

Oh How Time Flies

It's so crazy. It's already November 2! That really makes me quite excited. I don't particularly enjoy winter, so once summer weather is pretty much finished, I start anticipating the next late spring/summer weather :) I am so thankful, though, that we are having a pretty nice fall...and no snow yet! It's just wonderful! Another reason I'm excited that it's November is that I only have about 5 1/2 weeks left until Christmas break!!! YAY! I'm very excited for that, and so ready to relax for 3 weeks :)

So far school is going okay - although as I have already indicated, I am excited for this term to be over. The courses are alright (well, most of them, at least...) but I just want to get on with next term. Then I can start looking forward to summer holidays :) I am really enjoying my clinical experience so far this term. We are doing 2 very different experiences: Maternal-Child nursing as well as Palliative and Long-Term Care nursing. I have had my palliative experience and part of my mat-child experience, and I am really enjoying it! It's interesting to see these parts of nursing as well as the normal med-surg stuff. I like being able to see the different areas that I can potentially go into when I graduate...in a year and a half :)

Well, I should probably do something school related...seems like that's the right thing to do ;)

Enjoy the rest of your week!
