Vacationitis.

I have a feeling I'm going to get made fun of about this one. Or at least have a few people saying, "Oh boo hoo for you. You have a month off and don't know what to do with yourself." But really, I have trouble adjusting to vacation. Vacation, or down time, really tends to bring out my excessive anxiety, and I haven't had this much time off since before high school. So, I am kinda worried. We are not allowed to have a job while doing the first year of this program (because of the 60+ hours a week of class and clinical and study time), and when they say "BREAK", they mean it.

So here are my thoughts for my vacation:

1. Work on stuff for The SAMFund. I haven't been doing as much as I should because I haven't had a lot of time these past few months, and this down time should give me a chance to really dig in to planning the grant and scholarship process.

2. Read my books!
I bought three new ones today (as a little end-of-quarter present to myself), for a total of six books for pleasure. I put a very tiny dent in my Amazon Wishlist. Ready?

3. Visit my peeps. Yes kids, I'm comin' to Boston! And New York. And Cape Cod. For someone who hates the process of traveling (I love to travel, but hate to take planes, trains, busses, public transportation, and generally hate getting places), I'm doing a hell of a lot of it this season. Just doing my part to spread the holiday cheer.

4. Review all of the stuff I have already forgotten. I'm sure you will be surprised to hear that I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING FROM THE SUMMER. And I will need all of it to do what I am doing this coming quarter. Go figure.

And the things I won't be doing:

1. Watching It's a Wonderful Life. OR LORD DO I HATE THAT MOVIE!!!
