Thank you ALL so, SO much for your confidence and encouragement! I will have time for sure to spend on the DIS tomorrow and do a BUNCH of catching up.... everywhere. Meantime, last minute cramming. And another dose of pre-exam Imodium.

You go girl!

 

[englishrose47]

You go girl!

No that is so she doesn't go !!!!

 

[pkondz]

No that is so she doesn't go !!!!

 

[KathyM2]

Good luck tomorrow!!! Hope you don't need that Immodium...ugh

 

[cinderkelly]

Good luck with your exam tomorrow!

 

[Steppesister]

Enamoured with 88%! Haha!

 

[franandaj]

Yay for 88%!

 

[Flossbolna]

This is twice 8 dancing bananas to celebrate the 88%! Did not want to post 88 bananas...

You did it - only ONE final - and then next term and you are through with it!! The studying is nearly over!! I am so proud of you!!

 

[pkondz]

Of course you got 88... what else could you possibly get????

Atta girl. Proud of you!

Did not want to post 88 bananas...

And we thank you for that.

 

[KathyM2]

Wow awesome!!

 

[glennbo123]

G88d work!

 

[Steppesister]

So. Tired.

I feel like I could sleep for a month. Nap. Clean my bathroom. And some DIS-Time a bit later....

 

[pkondz]

Skip the bathroom. Let the mold live a little longer.
You're practically a nurse for Pete's sake. Respect a life! Yours!

OK, I've been struggling to keep up with everyone's reports and keep my own plugging along so that I am finished with the last trip before I start the next one. But I have been reading along with you on my phone, I just don't comment well from there.

A week off adds up to a LOT of missed updates and chatter. I feel so behind. But it was worth it to know I did fine and ready to tackle the last bit of this term. Catch up day around here is tomorrow!

I hope that this break gets you nice and recharged. I think you are visiting your parents the same week that I am on my next trip.

Me too! I"m getting excited! The next week will go super fast- 1 study day per exam from this term, Final on Wednesday, class on Thursday (a sneak peak on the next term), a quick trip up to Olympia for my niece's bridal shower over the long weekend, then off on Monday. Busy, busy!

I found a "Y" picture. I know you already posted a shadow of a Yeti, but here I give you "the Yeti depicted in artwork."

This is perfect! And easier to photograph than from a moving roller coaster.

I don't think I have enough boxes for all of the crap! I know I wouldn't be able to walk in there.

The struggle is real. I have so much junk in the attic still- the place where most of this crap will end up eventually. Our kids are moving out one by one, and we STILL have a fair amount of their junk.

But it is definitely a common refrain.

A worthy repellant for the moron/rude-y contingent.

I should've mentioned that one to my family last year. Way too many grumpy people in the Happiest Place On Earth!

What is WITH that?! Take a break, go for a swim, or if you can't be happy.... just don't go.

Everyone in my family can agree to that one. Dd was mad at us yesterday because we were actually home before she got off the bus, and so we actually *talked* to her during what she thought would be her quiet time. (Not quite alone, since ds was downstairs, but it would've been quiet.) The trick is getting your alone time when someone else is wanting to talk your ear off...which also could apply to pretty much anyone in my family!

I understand. If our kids need to have some time, they usually go upstairs and read. I just get in the bathtub.

 

[Steppesister]

Well, it isn't Disney (or Yosemite), but I do now have a reservation for camping over Memorial Day weekend with a bunch of friends (and our assorted families). It's been maybe 5 years since we've managed to go with them, so this should be fun.

YAY!! That WILL be super fun! Yosemite is a very beautiful place (@Flossbolna is doing a lovely TR from her recent trip there) with nice hikes and places to visit. But, you better work on some trip tenets STAT!

Infant waste belongs in diapers....

Good one. And yes, it does!

I've heard those are AWESOME when nuked in the microwave.

Looks like a buxom Ariel.

"And why do you think you failed this exam."
"I was up until 3am on the DISboards."
"Oh, well, that's okay then. We'll just give you a pass."


Probably not.

No, I'm absolutely sure that would not fly. Then, again, I haven't stayed up until 3:00 AM since my last Clinical night shift.

You will!

I did, I did!!

 

[Steppesister]

Just a quick fly bye . My Laptop is fixed , had a virus , dang kids messing with it !! So mayhab I will get on tomorrow and even load pix . Sorry Liesa hijacking your thread as more read yours cuz you post more than I do !!!!

My laptop is breaking too. I MUST take it in tomorrow before the screen (which I suspect someone dropped my 'puter, and won't fess up) totally dies. I will look forward to you pix, but tomorrow is DIS-Day. I'm actually going to play hookey tomorrow and clean my bathroom, shop for groceries, and start studying for the Final.

Wishing you all the best for the last exam of the course before finals!

Thanks, Magdalene! Didn't get one A all term, but I gave it my all, and what I came up with was more than good enough.

Lots of prayers, and of course...

God heard, and I took her in.

Good luck!

Thanks, Andy!

Good luck. .....you got this!

Didn't do too shabby! Thanks for the celebration text!!

May the Force be with you!

Thank you, Jill! The term is ending nicely for me!

 

[Steppesister]

I must admit... I'm torn.
On the one hand, I'm of the opinion that you're doing so well you don't need thoughts and prayers.
On the other hand, maybe that's what's helping, so...


Thinking of you! You got this!

I think I've only gotten through this by the Grace of God. No human could ever do this alone; the support of my family and friends has totally pulled me through this! You have no idea how valuable you are!

Yea I'm the same way and we KNOW Liesa will study to excess but I figure why tempt fate.....er, faith!

EXCESS?! LOL! Who me? And yes, you know where this success comes from. I work hard, but depend on the stamina and recall to come from Elsewhere.

Good luck! But you don't need it, the force is strong with you!

Thanks, Alison! All the hard work is paying off and the end is near!

Good luck Liesa!

Thanks SO much, Donna! It's great to know I have friends wishing me the best in this long, long road.

You go girl!

No that is so she doesn't go !!!!

Good one, Rosie. (Good unintentional one, @pkondz !)

Good luck tomorrow!!! Hope you don't need that Immodium...ugh

I always feel a little sick to my stomach before every exam. I've seen WAY too many fail out!

Good luck with your exam tomorrow!

A little Pixie Dust never hurts! Thanks for cheering me on!

 

[Steppesister]

Yay for 88%!

This is twice 8 dancing bananas to celebrate the 88%! Did not want to post 88 bananas...

You did it - only ONE final - and then next term and you are through with it!! The studying is nearly over!! I am so proud of you!!

It's a veritable dancing banana PARTY!! You know I do love me a dancing banana party!

We learned a lot about next term today- I'll share in a post tomorrow.

Of course you got 88... what else could you possibly get????

Atta girl. Proud of you!

Well, I could have gotten an 86%- the score on my last 2 exams. I"m sitting at an overall 88% though, so I all rounds out.

Wow awesome!!

I did it!! Well, ok, I'm doing it. HAHA!

G88d work!

Clever! I can always count on you, Glenn for fancy keywork.

Skip the bathroom. Let the mold live a little longer.
You're practically a nurse for Pete's sake. Respect a life! Yours!

I took your advice and procra... er... postponed it until tomorrow morning. And when it's done, I'll reward myself with some DISTime.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hi Liesa! I've been a little distracted lately, but thinking about you. Yay for 88%! Nicely done!

It looks like meeting up in the world is a no go, but I will be up your way in August! DSIS has rented a beach house at Lincoln City in August for a family celebration of our dad"s 8th BDay. Jim's parents have moved to Salem, so we will be splitting our time between their place and the beach. Maybe we can finale a little coffee time....

We have our rooms booked at DLR for Christmas with the kiddos here, so that is our vacation time for this year.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Congrats on passing another exam! Too funny with another 88. I think I can see light at the end of the tunnel...and it might not be a train!
