As of this past Thursday, Jen finished her externship!! She worked really hard this last term, wrote a lot of different reports and had to be flexible with everything else, and finally has (sort of) a break. Her schedule opened up, so now she'll have an actual 2-day weekend, and won't have to wake up super early every day to go work a full day, then go to her actual job.
The downside is that school started the same week, and two classes started three days before, so she had NO break before starting more school. So far the first two classes haven't been that difficult, but they will soon ramp up, and a third course will start in July. BUT to help make things easier, we have a 4-day "staycation" planned for the 4th of July weekend, where we can just unwind and relax a bit. Plus, we hope to have a real vacation, even if it's just a day trip somewhere.
A lot of studying and work in her future, as you can tell by the view.
