Back to School!

I'm back in Durham and I'm actually excited about the start of a new semester.

this is now hanging on my proud parents' porch 

Not only did I miss an earthquake...I missed Irene!

Irene making her way along the NC coast


When my flight was landing last night we passed through a lot of clouds with lightning. It did get to me a bit and got me thinking about what would happen if the plane actually did get struck by lightning. The lady next to me was having a full on panic attack. She probably shouldn't have drank a giant Monster on the plane ride. Who really needs to be amped up at 9 PM on a plane ride?


I was happy to see the 60s when I landed.
Thank you Durham for being so pleasant sometimes.



Stesha picked me up from the airport and we went to Sushi Love. I had an avocado roll and tried a new dish: Mongolian beef. I loved it.


When I made it home I was glad to see Alley had survived all of NC's shenanigans.



I've never heard her purr so loudly.
She did her normal "I'm going to annoy Rachel by meowing all night" routine.
Grrr.

I woke up and went for a run.
78 degrees is officially Fall in this Texas girl's mind.
It actually felt "chilly". hahaha







I ran about 3 miles and then walked another.
A good workout for once.



The pretty pool I put together last month had turned brown and was full of nasty stuff. I didn't have the energy to drain it...so what did I do?
I got out a knife and stabbed it to death. The thing deflated in under a minute and all the water rushed out beneath my deck. It was beautiful....and oh so easy to deal with.



I did some back to school shopping and picked up some binders. In the past I would put all of one day's classes into one binder. I found out 3/4 of the way through the semester that all the papers would not fit. I purchased one binder per class this time.
I even got a clipboard for clinical.


I also bought some Fall decor.




I read for over 2 hours for Nursing Leadership. I've got a feeling it will be the first and last time I read for that class. The book is very dry and boring. I almost lost my mind. I bet you no one read that thing. I figured I should start out right though.

Time for bed.

Tomorrow is my first day as a third semester student!
