I'm so overwhelmed with excitement right now that I can't sleep. So what do I do? Blog. Duh.
I cannot believe that it is May 12th, 2012. It seems so unreal.
I've been actively working on getting my nursing degree for 4 years and going to college for 5 years now. It feels like a long time, but it really isn't in the grand scheme of things.
My family came up today so they wouldn't have to drive the hour and a half to get here at 0830 in the morning. I'm glad because they bought me dinner... And they are fun to hangout with!
I'm so filled with emotion I'm not really sure what to do with it.
This morning all I felt like doing was crying. For oh so many reasons, but I think it was just a way to let some emotion out quickly.
I'm ready. Finally. Yesterday, I wasn't ready to graduate.
I'm done with the tests, the papers, the deadlines, and the library. I'm excited for the future and ready for a real big girl job.

PS 8.5 hours to go until Pinning begins!

Why Has No One Told Me This Before?
So my friends told me today that I'm a loud test taker. I was not inclined to believe them, but I let them tell their side of the story. I mean, they are the ones that hear me when I take tests.
They said I fiddle with candy wrappers (several teachers give out chocolate before an exam!), sigh loudly when I get frustrated, and pound the table with my fists.
Oops. I'll try harder not to be annoying next time.
What annoys me during a test is sniffling. Just blow your nose already!
19 days until graduation!!!

Cool Old Lady
I met the coolest old lady at Relay for Life this past weekend.
I was walking back to my car because I forgot my camera, and she was standing on the grass between the parking lot and the track. I smiled and she said hi, so I stopped for a second and pleasantly acknowledged her as a person.
Old lady: Hi. *she said in her British accent*
Me: Hi, how are you?
Old lady: Fine, how are you?
Me: Good. I forgot my camera in the car.
Old lady: *smile*
I walked to the car and had to walk by her again on my way back to our tent site, so I stopped and actually took time to talk to her.
Me: What brings you to Relay?
She went on to tell me about her daughter and how she was in a program at my school. She told me she just got back from New Zealand. She had a lanyard that said Brazil on it, and I asked her if she had been there, and she said yes, that she was there about 4 years ago.
I guess the cool part about it was that she was old, like probably pushing 70 and she was travelling so much.
I want to be a cool old lady like that.

Pictures
So I took some pictures of my friends at community clinical this week.
I'd post them to Facebook and email them to the teacher but I can't.
The computer I got from the school doesn't have a XD card reader.
And my old computer that has the XD card reader is slow.

Announcements
I got my graduation announcements in the mail this week.
They have my name in them.
They have MY name in them.
"But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." Isaiah 43:1-2

Getting Closer
I was on the phone with someone yesterday, and told them that I had 12 weeks until I graduate with my Bachelor's of Science in Nursing.
Then I was like wait. Ten weeks.
Then I was like, goodness girl, you cool.
(It's easier to count days - 74 until graduation!!!)

There, I Said It
So I just turned the big 2-3 last week.
It's been tumultuous week, mostly because I wasn't ready to be 23. That number just sounds so old, doesn't it?
What have I done in my 23 years?
I think my problem might be that I don't have any goals right now. Or that my goals are very ambiguous, like "get a job." What kind of goal is that? Gosh.
My goal was to graduate nursing school, but now that it's so close I'm scared. There, I said it. Scared.
And now that it's out, I can get over it.
"Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not." Isaiah 44:2
