Well it has been almost a week since I posted. I have been trying to destress a bit after classes and finals and all that good stuff. I finally finished reading the book I started at the beginning of the summer, read another one and have started on a third. I think that is what I missed most of all during that crazy busy summer semester, was just finding time to read and enjoy a good story. Checked on my final grades, and they were pretty decent, though I thought I had done better on my PLS final than what I did. Oh well, the semester grade is what really counts anyway. This last week has also been a bit of a let down for me. I was so super busy all summer long, with assignments to work on and complete, and stuff due all the time, plus work and family, that when it was all over, I didn't quite know what to do with myself. I kept feeling like I should be doing something. Well, only a few short weeks until the fall semester, than time to get crazy busy all over again. I am loaded for the fall also, with algebra, nutrition, anatomy and physiology and chemistry. I have been trying to think positive about all this, like the fact that I had a total of five semesters to reach my goal, and I have completed  one, so I am 20% of the way there. Trying to be a glass half full kind of person. Also trying to stay positive about what I have harvested from my garden, and not get so disappointed about what I lost to the heat. Despite aggressive watering, it has been tough to keep it going. Luckily, I got some rain at my house yesterday. What a blessing!. Not only did it water the garden, but it dropped the temperature 20 degrees. I actually got to turn the air off for a little while. It felt so good to sit on the front porch and really enjoy being outside for a while.
