Bitter - Sweet

I start school tomorrow and it is bitter sweet. Bitter because my schedule will be even crazier than it already is for the next few months. I have school at the end of the week which I dont like because I am more tired at the end of the week and its hard to work 10 hours a day then go to school after and pay attn...but Im getting used to it :) ....Starting school is also sweet because this is my last semester and then I will be done and I will have my MASTERS!!! I only have 15 more weeks of school and 8 weeks left of my internship. The fact that I will be done in a little less than four months is one of the things that is keeping me going. Another reason I am excited about graduating is because a few weeks later Zac and I are going on a Southern Caribbean cruise. I cant wait to see my hubby everyday and relax on the beach. Those are two of my favorite things! Heres some pictures of where we are going on our cruise :)


We start our trip spending the day in Puerto Rico - way excited to go to old San Juan and check out all the sites

Our next stop is St. Thomas


Then we are off to Dominica



Then to the beautiful beaches of Barabados


Next stop is St. Lucia for some fun and snorkeling


Then Antigua...which I am very excited about- always wanted to go there :)


Our last stop is St. Kitts which I have never heard of but the island looks gorgeous and very relaxing. After St. Kitts its back to Puerto Rico and then home. I will have to keep looking at this post to help me get through this last semester! Oh I forgot, all this hard work will mean absolutely NOTHING if I dont pass my comprehensive exam. Thats right, 3 long hard years all boils down to one exam...If I dont pass I dont get my degree.
My test is in March so wish me luck.
