Just the break I needed

I went home this weekend. The only weekend in May that I was planning to take that long awful drive. It was great. We went out for dinner. We went to the lake. I relaxed. For a few moments the rest of the world did not exist. For a few moments I felt like a normal person enjoying her May Long weekend.
It was just the break I needed. Now, I can get back to the grind. Get back to studying. I have purpose again. Work, and it will come. Strive, and you will achieve. Hope, and it will be there.
The light is getting brighter and brighter. First it was dim, a little flicker of hope. Now it is shining brightly, lighting the way, showing me where to go.
Bring it on, I say! Bring on the exam! I can do it! I will show them, and me, that I can do this!
