D-O-N-E!!!!

you have no idea how good it feels to be done. if anybody out there is reading this and is still studying, the end is near. you will feel human again - i promise. it is just insane how un-human-like you feel after studying for so long. i left my apartment very few times over the past month, but tonight, after taking a post-exam-nap, matt and i went out and just drove around for a while. it was nice to be out in the soothing rain just hanging out and being together - without having to feel guilty about not studying.

so what's next?

the spa! i am heading to the spa tomorrow and can't wait! matt had gotten me a package at lasata salon for christmas, and i knew i wanted to save it for "the day after." we even added a few treatments so starting at 11 am (yay! i can sleep in!) i will be getting some sort of body treatment that matt scheduled, then a facial and a massage followed by a haircut. after a short break to eat, my pampering will be complete with a pedicure and a manicure. you have no idea how excited i am. it is going to be a wonderful day!

until then, hopefully i will be able to sleep without jumping awake every 30 minutes trying to figure out which enzyme catalyzes a particular step in a biochem pathway or what the mechanism of a particular drug is...hopefully those nightmares are over!

good night.
