5 day weekend fully needed

Mr Monkey hanging around

Wednesday started my five day weekend.

Yes, another FIVE day weekend. This one wouldn't be spent in Texas relaxing. It would be spent writing a paper and studying for my final Gero Exam.

I got a run in Wednesday. It was hot and sunny. I tried to catch some rays.

Stesha came over and we worked side by side on our NPA papers. I mentioned this paper before. That BIG one that should take us 3-4 weeks to complete. I started it 6 days before it was due.

I finished 4 out of the 12 questions that day (this was in addition to the one I had already done 2 weeks ago). I had not finished 5 out of the 12.

Thursday was another warm day.

More vitamin D for me.

I pumped out another 3 questions before I went to see a movie with Stesha.

We both wanted to see The Vow. We had tried to go see it before Valentine's Day, but between out schedules it didn't work out.

We got around to seeing it and it wasn't as sappy as I thought it was going to be. It was more heartbreaking than anything.

During the previews, a new movie caught my eye.

It is titled Gone and it said it was coming out soon.

Turns out soon was the very next day.

I was supposed to meet with my peer editing group on Friday at 3 pm. 

I still had 2-3 questions I needed to finish up on my paper. I was going to get up to school around 2 to finish them up before meeting my group. I got a call from one of my group members informing me we were under a tornado watch and they didn't want to meet. It gave me more time to finish up my paper and I just emailed it to my editor. 

So yes, Gone.

We went to the movies 2 nights in a row.

I enjoy a suspenseful thriller, always.

After the movie, we went to Frankie's Fun Park. This was my first experience here.

It reminded me of a Putt Putt back in Texas.

They had mini-golf, batting cages, games, rides, go-karts, bumper boats, and laser tag.

I felt like I was 10 again and loved every minute of it.

When I got home, I finished up The Hunger Games.

Finally!

I think most people finish this book in one sitting and at the very least in under 24 hours. I dragged it out.

Don't get me wrong, I loved every second of it.

Now I need the second one.

I wasn't in the mood for a run this morning, but I figured I needed to get out of the house. I ran for a mile and then walked the rest. It was VERY windy. I thought I was going to blow sideways. 

I grabbed lunch at Panera and tried their new thai chicken salad. It was heaven in my mouth.

 I spent the rest of the day reading geriatric protocols in preparation for my Gero final. This is my first and last exam of the semester (other than online, open book exams). I haven't had an in-class exam in over 2 months...I forget how this works =/ haha

Stesha and I took a study break to bring sprite and soup to her sick boyfriend. Poor guy has a stomach bug or food poisoning. 

I have one more day of studying until my exam. Here goes.
