Life at the moment

Studying studying studying... This is my life for the next 8ish months. I try to inject it with pretty and plop a bow on top and then... instagram it. But today it wasn't pretty, it was me sitting at a desk for 10+ hours eating, breathing and living obstetrics. I am so happy because tomorrow I am going to be on the NICU for the day and I cannot think of a more amazing opportunity!

Hope you had a fantastic Monday!

Fruit + Cheese & Rugby

This weekend was how weekends are supposed to be. Relaxing, hanging with family, watching sports, shopping, and doing homework. I'm really looking forward to this week because I will get to do a shadow day on the NICU. I feel so lucky to have an opportunity like this. I hope you all have a beautiful week!

For the love of pumpkin coffee.

Today I woke up in a funk. The train, which blows its horn every hour on the hour, was incessantly irritating. The alarm clock, although I kept hitting snooze, seemed to be going off every thirty seconds and when I finally started getting ready it was one of those mornings where everything seemed to be going wrong. Spilled coffee, clothes needed to be washed, makeup smearing, deodorant MIA. It was horrible.

Apple Graveyard

But everything changed after my pediatrics class when I took an unexpected pit stop at Caribou. I know it sounds silly, that one cup of coffee could change my entire mood. But that's exactly what happened. I got a pumpkin white mocha, the first of the season, and promptly spilled it all over my sweater. But the moment I took a sip all of my aggravation disappeared. Pumpkin is the epitomy flavor of fall. It conjures in my mind images of jack-o-lanterns, falling leaves, fuzzy sweaters, and bonfires. The moment I walked outside I noticed how amazing the crisp chill in the air was, the fact that I was wearing a large cozy sweater and not sweating, the slow smell of dying green, and when I stumbled upon a apple graveyard I knew in my heart that summer has left and fall has arrived, if only for today.

Lusting after...

two pretty dresses for the shop.

This week was an interesting mixture of so many different emotions. Stress, happiness, anxiety, joy and gratitude. It started a bit rocky with an email that automatically put me a week behind in my reading but was made completely better by the lovely ladies on my floor and all the beautiful and supportive people in my life. I did some studying, some bonding, some shopping, and very little sleeping. Now it's over and I am able to say I have week one of my third semester as a nursing student behind me and I can't be any happier about that. I hope  your weekend was lovely and long and for those of you in the US enjoy your extended weekend!
