Anti-climactic day...
So I had my last nursing class today. It's supposed to be exciting to finish all your classes for your first year, but I've done it before and I'm just thinking ahead to the next. three. years. that I'll be spending in school. Heck, I'll be 26 when I graduate! Thinking about that makes me depressed =/
I haven't done my exams yet--perhaps that's why I haven't gotten the thrill of being free? Still, it is exciting that I'll be back home in less than two weeks! I seriously CANNOT WAIT to eat all the food that I've missed and not have to cook for myself (it's been horrid and boring for the past couple of days, bleck...)
I'm a bit apprehensive about trying to find a summer job that will take me on until the beginning of August. Man, I knew that I should have applied weeks ago and I hope that there are some jobs left (retail?) I'm a little less worried about my living situation for next year because I found a classmate to live with. Not entirely sure if it'll work out because I believe that we're very similar strong-headed/opinionated people who are very particular about the ways that we do things, but here's hoping that it'll work out anyways.
In all honesty, I don't think that I'll dread coming back to Nanaimo. I've grown to really like the environment and the people. I might have mentioned it previously, but I feel that I really needed the nursing program in my life as it's helped me deal with a lot of personal issues that I was floundering in before. The support and strength that people have shown to me has been absolutely amazing and at the risk of making this a sappy why-I-love-nursing post, I really think that nursing has helped me change my attitude toward my surroundings and I feel that I've grown to understand myself much better than before. I don't often say it, but I feel blessed for the people that have made me feel welcomed and for the people that I had left, but continue to support me from afar.
Anyways, I'm just rambling (nursing instructors do always emphasize the importance of reflection in day to day life LOL). Ahhh... I'm going to bed now, far too many jello shots have made me sleepy, so good night all!
