Time to take a breath ...

This morning, I took a test in each of the classes I'm taking. I was surprised at just how stressful it was for me to have all 3 fall on one day. I did not feel as prepared as I wanted to for any of them, and when I finished this morning, I didn't walk away from any of them thinking I had aced it. The good thing is they are now behind me, and there's nothing I can do at this point to change the grades I earned on them.... So, now I can take a break, give myself permission to not open a book today, and since I'm in a lull at work as well, I plan to take some time to "smell the roses" today. Well, not roses since they aren't in bloom, but pine trees maybe. They smell pretty good :) I have been craving outside time, so I plan to indulge in that today - it is such a nice day!!!
