Back to Reality

So this past week was AMAZING. I always enjoy spring break and not being in school, but this year's was so much better than normal. The last week of school was terrible, but I made it through and onto 7 days of bliss in the Caribbean. We went cruising out of New Orleans and spent 3 days on the boat and 3 days in port....Belize City Belize, Isla Roatan Honduras, and Cozumel Mexico. It was absolute heaven! Sunshine for the most part, temps in the 80s, and some of the most gorgeous water I've ever seen in my life. Snorkeling in Belize was b-e-a-u-tiful!!!! Zip-lining and playing with the monkeys in Roatan was incredible, and Cozumel was awesome as ever. Oh, and you can't go cruising without mentioning the food. So much food, all so delicious. I'm pretty sure I gained 10 pounds in the past week, but it was oh so worth it!

Unfortunately, now it's back to reality. As if to welcome us home from our break, it was freezing cold yesterday and SNOWING!!!! Ugh. I really never thought I would see a time when I was sick of snow in Mississippi. Now school has started back, and I can already tell I best get paddling if I want to stay afloat for these last 8 weeks. Med school is definitely a "sink or swim" kind of thing when it comes to classes. Fingers crossed for pulling off a 4.0 "semester" for once...
