Well, my earbuds were plugged into my phone, and I figured it would be safer to hide the whole mess under a pillow because of the cat criminal who lives here. ? 8:30 I worked on finishing up my blog post for the next day and I scheduled it to publish the next morning. On this day, I left it at home, under my pillow.

But, I do feel happy for this good start; it makes me feel like I’m gonna be fine, and that my usual study habits will serve me as well in nursing school as they did in my prereqs. Partly this is because I spent quite a bit of time Friday mapping out school life, meal plans, blogging plans, exercise, and so on.

I’ve had this dress since just about the beginning of this blog and I’m not sure I’ve worn it the same way twice. And it is really well made, regardless of your opinion of Forever XXI. That might be because I was slightly irritated and half asleep. I wear it more in Fall/Winter, but I’m not sure why. It’s such a nice fit.
