fast forward!

well.

shame on me for not keeping up my end of the journal!

here i am, one day after graduation.

i feel free-ish but not completely free.

you see, i still have four days of review classes (for the state test).

four days that will last from 8am to 5pm each.

just when i thought nursing school had finally cut the chains, i realized they still had a rope around me!

but i'm fast forwarding to friday, May 15th 2009, my real date of freedom.

but then again, not really since i have the state exam.

(let's just forget about that for now :))

i will probably never walk into that nursing building again.

and most likely will never see some of those students again.

for once, there's no "have a great summer, see you next fall."

it's "hope you have a great life."

that's a pretty bizarre concept, but i'm ready for it.

after i take the state exam, i can set my mind free.

my time will be free.

my heart will be free.

my brain will be FREE.

that makes me very happy.

despite all of the stress, tears, heartaches, and headaches that came along with nursing school, i know that it was ALL worth it.

granted i can finally play video games, catch up on books that i've been putting off, and actually finalize wedding plans, i can also look forward to really making a difference in this world via my career.

sigh.

i will defininitely post more soon.

p.s.

my family is amazing. i love each and every one of them.

my friends are pretty great too.
