Well, it is spring break and I'm at the parents house in Lawrenceville. Which I totally don't mind. I spent the first part of the week in Charleston. Which, minus the tornadoes from the first night, was awesome.
But now I'm ready to just kinda regroup and gear up to finish the semester. Which is more than a little terrifying. But I can't just not face it. Plus living in denial about it all will be more miserable than having to do clinical objective writeups. Which is saying something. Not to mention if I don't plan then I'll really screw myself over. I graduate May 16th (or sometime that weekend). That gives me just under 2 months to start looking at Atlanta hospitals, places to live, people to live with, dates to take the NCLEX, and my summer to plan.
I'm glad to be taking the summer off. Even though my parents still seem a little tentative, I don't think it is a bad idea. I just need to go talk to one of my professors and get their stamp of approval I think. I just don't see any reason to rush it. Especially considering I won't take boards til like, late June, then I wouldn't start work til July, and if I'm going to wait til July I may as well push it back another couple of weeks so I can do camp nursing up at Mikell.
So, the rest of my time at home looks like this:
Today- visit Lauren at ATL Rocks
Tomorrow- plan, schedule, etc in the morning (like longterm stuff)
try to do some homework
visit Vanessa in the evening
Sunday- Easter with the family
Help move Jonathan's stuff
Spend the night at Lauren's
Monday- Drive back to school
Get ready to teach SexEd on Tuesday to a bunch of 7th graders.
I'm really not looking forward to that. But I will press onward, face this stupid semester, and hopefully that will ultimately give me more time for myself. And if not, well, thankfully I'll have this summer. But I'm going to pray it doesn't come to that.
