For me, this is a good time.
Waking up to a view like this...doesn't get much better for me.
Camping and hiking in Payson, AZ. I already want to go back.
The past couple of years I have really discovered what helps me to relax and reconnect with myself, and that is doing things outside like hiking or chilling in my hammock. I like to push myself on hikes, even though my ankles and knees are getting to be kind of awful. And I love the way I feel when I hike and surround myself with nature.
The past couple weeks in school have been CRAZY. I have never studied for so many hours for one subject (ANATOMY...holy crap). I had 5 midterms last week and have 2 this week. I still have that 7th test on Thursday, but it is quite a relief to have 6 behind me. And to know that I got A's on the ones I've found out my grades so far...it's a pretty good feeling! Grad school is definitely proving to be a challenge for my mental stamina...but I'm happy with the results so far.
Last weekend I was itching to go somewhere, so my roommate and I decided to camp and hike up in Payson the next weekend. A couple of my friends from school came along, and even though we got basically no sleep because it was colder than we anticipated, I know I had a blast! Just what I needed!!
Coming back was hard because I had to get back to the books hardcore after taking the time away. I feel like I need another break...one more midterm...
