Today is the first day of spring or the vernal equinox and the weather here in Illinois has been lovely. 80+ degrees, with blue sky and sunshine. The grass is green, there are buds on the trees and plants peeking out of the ground. I wish I could say I've been outside enjoying the weather, but the past few weeks have flown by and have been full of bullshit busy work at school, a sweet head cold, a broken washing machine, a handful of showings, and the start of role transition, which is my very last clinical experience of nursing school and signals the beginning of our final 8 weeks before graduation.
