Today might be Monday, but I’m welcoming this week with open arms! I’ll be getting my long white coat on Friday and a Master’s degree on Saturday so you could say I’m a little excited. Make that… totally beyond excited!! This weekend was the beginning of many Christmas festivities so let’s jump right into the recap!
Our last week of PA school has been quite busy with tests, presentations, and advisor meetings, but luckily my classmates have made a point to hang out as much as we can before we all go off our separate ways. We started our test week off right by sporting our tacky Christmas sweaters to class on Thursday. We even had a contest and voted amongst ourselves for the best tacky outfit… and Santa took the cake!
On Friday, my class took our second PACKRAT which is a practice board exam. I don’t know about you, but I think taking a 225-question test deserves some celebrating. So naturally, we had a fun little night at Raleigh Times which has been our downtown go-to spot for the past 2.5 years. We had our fist major group outing here at the end of our first week of school and I honestly feel like it was just yesterday!
We continued the holiday festivities on Saturday night and made our way to 2 more tacky sweater parties. It was that time again to bust out my handmade vest. It’s a beauty, isn’t it?! I created this masterpiece about 4 years ago and love to bust it out for the holidays whenever I can. I completed my look with a hideous turtleneck, a green skirt, jingle bell earrings, and a light-up necklace. Tacky sweater parties are THE absolute best!
Last but not least, this is how our roommate Jeff feels about living with two women haha 
In other news, I also discovered the magic of Craigslist this weekend. I had never used it before but I was needing to get rid of my furniture. Everything must go! Anyways, I had great responses and sold 3 pieces of furniture in less than 24 hours of posting. That also means that my room is a complete hot mess right now. So I’ll be packing, packing, packing… all week long. Hope you guys had a great weekend as well and thanks for stopping by!
