Rachel RN, BSN: First Half of Spring Break 2011

Last Friday was my first day of clinical.

That is about all I can say about that.

Just know that is what I will be doing every Friday from now until the end of the semester.

We got out a bit early and I rushed home to get ready to head to the airport.

Alley had different plans:

I'm glad to say I made it to the airport in time for my flight and I had a wonderful surprise.

My seat was in first class.

This was new news to me =)

We were given a snack of nuts and then a meal.

I chose chicken parmesan and an oatmeal cookie for dessert.

This flight experience was 1000X better than a month ago.

There were no problems and I was treated like a Queen. The guy next to me was nice and we chatted a bit. I don't know what it is about me, but I must scream TALK TO ME.

Headphones in...don't talk to me.

I don't want to be rude, but I paid 3.99 to rent 127 hours.

I didn't get to finish my movie on the plane =(

I was literally the first person off the plane and I headed to baggage claim where I was greeted by my Mom.

I went to dinner with my parents at Jimmy John's. I was stuffed from the plane so I sat and chatted.

I then drove 4 and half hours to Houston.

I arrived around 11 PM and got to see my boyfriend for the first time in a month!

We ended up staying in and watching a Lacrosse game followed by my favorite: Across the Universe.

Saturday morning was spent sleeping in.

Lance had a lacrosse game at 2 and I had a lot of fun watching him.

We ate lunch afterwards at a Crepe place, but I went with a panini.

After relaxing, we got ready to go out to a sports bar to watch the Duke vs. UNC basketball game.

I'm sad to say we lost, but I still had fun.

We were a little hungry and Lance mentioned a place that had good margaritas.

I give you Ruby Tequila's:

I'm not much of a margarita girl...so I had the bright idea to have pineapple soaked in tequila.

I took one bite and called it quits.

The waitress was kind enough to take it off the bill.

Sunday was a laid back kind of day. We slept in and relaxed. Lance had some studying he needed to get done, so I did the same. I got all of my ATI modules done for my first 2 weeks back after Spring Break. I also got to watch the season premiere of The Real Housewives of OC...without him complaining =)

We finished up the night watching Due Date.

Sadly, Monday morning Lance had to start his week of classes.

I headed back to Arlington.
