As another semester wraps up, there are so many changes happening around me.
Justin moves into our house this weekend, and I couldn't be happier about it. I'm not too excited about being 3 hours apart instead of just 1, but we've done it before. I think it makes it a bit easier knowing that I'll be crazy busy with school all summer, so I really won't have much time to sit and think about how much I miss him. Plus, I'll be able to visit him and Kaya on weekends and get used to the idea of us having our own family :)
I took my Adult Health final this morning. Got an 87% on it, woo hoo! Not bad considering I didn't really start studying until last night when I got home from work. Now I have to focus on A&P, cuz I have the joy of taking his 200 question cumulative final on Friday. 100 questions from last semester and 100 questions from this semester (it's the A&P 1 and 2 sequence). Have I mentioned that this is the class that I suck at? I think it's super interesting how the body works and why it does what it does, but please don't expect me to make sense of it and explain it. I'll be a good nurse because I know medications and what they do and because I'm a compassionate person, not because I know the process of proper ventilation. Nevertheless, it's on Friday and hopefully I pass.
This semester has really been the opposite of what I thought it would be, some good and some bad. Friends that I considered to be close to me have proven themselves to be fake and only looking out for themselves, while others have stepped up and shown me that they really are my friend because we get along, not simply because its convenient. It sucks to feel like you're losing touch with someone who you were once close to, but at the same time I don't have time for fake people. I know who I am, what I expect out of life, and the type of people that I want to surround myself with. If you're still unsure of any of that at our age, you have a lot of catching up to do. We're not in high school anymore, it's time to formulate your own thoughts. Then again, if you've never had to accept responsibility for anything in your life then I guess you wouldn't know how to adapt to this big scary world.
I've decided that I want to become a Forensic Nurse. It only takes an extra year after I have my RN degree, and since I'll be like 45 before I get out of school I figure it won't be too much of an imposition on my life :) I've always been interested in criminal justice, but have never wanted to be a cop or anything like that. With a Forensic Nurse degree, you can work alongside a police department, social services, an ME or at a specialized hospital and collect evidence, perform exams on victims, etc. I think it's a good balance of wanting to be a nurse and wanting to save humanity. I'd love to find the piece of evidence that puts a rapist or murderer in jail.
That was quite possible the longest entry I've ever done. Time for sleep I guess. Back at it tomorrow! Night!
