Christmas break

This is my Christmas break and I so badly needed it. I am exhausted. School is getting brutal but only 10 1/2 months to go. Countdown....
I had such as easy time at Stritch for my first degree in the 80's but I am now 50 and the brain doesn't work like it used to. Memorizing new material like serotonin and dopamine transmitters, psychopharmacology and DSM-IV is a challenge but I will complete grad school and I will pass certification and become a PMHNP. Goodness knows my children inspire me to know more about mental illness. 

But I will enjoy the last week of rest and relaxation before I hit the books again.
