Today was much more emotional than I could have even
imagined my last day of nursing school ever being. It is amazing that a year
and a half ago I wasn’t sure if I would even be around to graduate. I even
wondered if I hadn’t wasted my time with nursing school. I spent so much time
of the two and a half years leading up to my diagnosis sacrificing my time and
effort to nursing school. I didn’t want that to be what I left behind. I didn’t
want that to be my last two years on this earth.
Now, here I am! I am
graduating school and have an interview for a residency on Friday. I have a
full summer ahead of me with some pretty big and some small plans. I have my major time sucking, life altering
schooling behind me. I can’t believe that school is finally done!
The next week will be so much fun. My family flies in tomorrow.
Wednesday will be my pinning. We are going out for an early dinner beforehand. Thursday, I am having a family celebratory BBQ
hosted by my wonderful mother and father-in-law. Friday is my interview and
then I graduate that night! It will be a busy week and on top of that, my good
friend had her sweet baby girl this morning. It is so amazing how sometimes you
live life in the darkest blackness, and sometimes the sun shines and fills you
and your life with the warmth of true happiness.
I decorated my graduation cap. I think it pretty much sums
up the last few years for me!
