I had a 6 week break from school/rotations from right after Christmas until this coming Monday Feb. 18th. This long-awaited break was a welcome sight for me and I wanted to enjoy every minute. But I also like to be productive. So the first day of my break, I created a 6 week to-do list. Steve thought I was crazy. But when you spend the last 2 years of your life 100% absorbed in school, studying, work and everything pharmacy, you want a break to do things you have WANTED to do for SO LONG (and finish those things you thought you could do, but never found enough time to complete).
Here is my list.
Clean out bedroom
Organize sewing room
Finish crochet projects
Finish dining table and chairs
Study for NAPLEX/interviews (at least) 2 hours per day
Exercise at least 4x/week
Catch up on all TV shows
Keep kitchen clean and laundry caught up
Re-do coffee table
Scrapbook Puerto Rico trip
Now I will spare you from my weekly to-do lists (yes, I had an overall to-do list as well as a week by week to-do list, don't judge, I get things done!)
Here are a few pictures from some of the things I have accomplished and I am dang proud of myself!

And I curl up with these two books on a daily basis...so much fun...
So I crossed everything off my to-do list and I get back to the daily grind of rotations starting Tuesday.
Wish me luck!
