Greetings From Mexico!

Hello everyone! Today is an exciting blog post because I'm writing it from a coffee shop in Mexico! I am on vacation in Cozumel and we took a ferry to Playa Del Carmen for the day. The rest of my group is at a touristy animal thing but I opted to spend the day exploring instead.

We got here around 11 this morning and I walked around the shops. Most of the shops are very expensive (Rolex, Cartier, etc.) so I just walked around and enjoyed the air conditioning.


After shopping for a while I decided to lay on the beach for a while. It was beautiful but so hot that I only lasted about a half an hour before I went to lunch at Señor Frogs.

Chicken fajitas, guacamole and beer (I'm legal here!). Doesn't
get much better than that!

After lunch I got a pedicure and decided to find a chocolate cafe called Ah Cacao. On my map it looked pretty close but it was not. I finally got there and enjoyed an iced coffee and some dark chocolate.

Actually it does get better: chocolate and coffee!
I started walking back towards where I'm supposed to meet up with everyone when it started to storm so I ducked in a Starbucks to write a blog post.

Though the city is still very touristy I have enjoyed talking to locals and other travelers and just relaxing.

What kind of things do you like to do on vacation? Do you like to stay close to the resorts or venture off the beaten path?

11 Things

So one of my favorite blogs Paleorunnergirl just did this post and I thought it would be fun! So here you go: 1. What is your favorite meal? You know…I really just love food. But these days I would have to say crab cakes and broccoli. 2. How many times have you been in love? Zero. 3. What is your Starbuck’s order? I used to work there so this is a very loaded question. Here are my top 5: -Tall soy no water chai light foam -Tall Americano in a Grande cup with extra room (I add 2% milk and equal myself) -Double tall soy latte light foam -Venti iced passion tea 6 shots sugar free vanilla, no classic light water light ice -Tall espresso frappacino, no frappucino roast skim milk no whip  You had no idea how loaded of a question that was! 4. Action/Comedy/Drama/ or Romantic Comedy? Romantic comedies all.the.way.  My favorite romcom. I like them all though! 5. What was your favorite TV show when you were a kid? When I was really little I liked Arthur. 6.

What you didn't know about nursing school

So usually I do a Sunday post but I just didn't have time this weekend! I had an anatomy test at 9 on Monday morning so I basically spent all weekend studying (there was a little time spent watching the super bowl and relaxing with friends.) But since I have been spending so much time doing school work this semester I decided I would give you a glimpse into what it's like! First and foremost the nursing school is really disorganized so we have a Facebook group to keep us sane. Whether it's about anatomy, football tickets or getting a ride somewhere, if you have a question, you post it here for a guaranteed answer. There is also some shenanigans on the nursing Facebook page...a lot of posts like this: U Mich nursing students love cats...and memes And this: That's what happens when your major is almost all girls! Not only are we connected virtually but we have all of our classes together so we're together all the time!  We walk together Off to the

Cheer Up Buttercup!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while...it's been a bit of a rough week. Even though I've been struggling a bit, some good things have happened.  1. I got my pink pants! I have wanted pink pants since December and I finally got them in the mail yesterday! I can't wait to wear them. I'm totally in love with them! 2. The weather has been GORGEOUS! Today it is supposed to get up to a high of 74, so much for a Michigan winter. It has definitely helped to motivate me to get some longer distance runs in.  3. I got the stain out of my green shirt, remember ? I also found my head phones! That may sound simple but when little things like that happen it definitely perks up the day! How has your life been going? What little things are making you happy?
