Procrastination to let my brain digest.

Handsome is finally home! Just in time to help take care of Rosie as I prepare for a massive anatomy exam tomorrow. He's been out of town for work far more than we had expected, which is harder on weeks like this, where there was a lot of class things to do in addition to studying for anatomy, which takes over my life. We've learned so much this session that I seriously have forgotten things I learned two weeks ago. It's a little overwhelming, to say the least. Tonight is a night of reviewing nonstop before sleeping for a couple hours and reviewing all morning. Eeek!

All three of us are enjoying life in Charleston. Handsome and I need to search for more bookcases-- our guest room tub is still overflowing with books! Not to mention the ones in the bedroom and living room that we're just kind of pretending don't exist at the moment. :-) I'm sure no one who knows me is at all surprised that books are taking over my house again. After all, the quote that pretty much seems to define my life is:

I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.Anna Quindlen

I am working my way to being an e-reader convert, though. We got new phones, and I have the Nook and Kindle apps, which are my saving grace on the daily ride to and from the parking lot for school. :-) I've been re-reading Pride and Prejudice-- I absolutely adore Jane Austen, with the exception of Sense and Sensibility. I keep trying to like it, but the main characters are SO obnoxious to me. My dad found me an awesome comic version of it, though, which I really like-- it keeps the text enough to get the story going, has fun pictures, and, of course, is a comic! The nerd in me rejoices at the combination of Jane Austen and comics. I have Pride and Prejudice in comic form, too, which I also super much enjoy.

I get to see my parents in just over 3 weeks! I am beyond excited to get to go home and see my family for a few days. I'm intruding on their wedding anniversary dinner (HAPPY 31ST!), but it's totally worth it. :-) I'll also get to see my awesome mother-in-law, although my father-in-law will unfortunately be out of town, assuming she's not on jury duty that week. I'm definitely lucky that my in-laws are close to my parents, and that I genuinely like them! Makes life easier for sure. I'm super excited to have my mother in law and aunt in law come down for a visit when it's not 100+ degrees daily.

Rosie and I will be roadtripping our way north to Norfolk, since Handsome will be working that week. I'm super excited just to have some down time if nothing else, and while I wish I was travelling with my husband, he'll probably be on site out of town anyways at the rate we're going. We're hopefully going to have friends (one person, one canine) with us on the way up, so that'll make the long trip a bit more bearable.

On that note, I should probably get back to studying and pretending my brain can take in this information so that I pass anatomy and can actually go to Norfolk!

Cheers,
