Lift-Off!

I'm DONE!!! Now all that is left is the formality of the Pinning Ceremony (...oops, I still need to write my speech for that). But all the papers, exams, projects, etc..., are turned in and done with. I've washed my hands of them. I have survived nursing school!

To be honest, it felt weird to be going through finals. Here I am, 3 years out of undergrad, and I'm STILL taking finals. Everyone else who is taking finals is on average 5 years younger than me. I should be done...oh well, embrace the "young" feeling while I can. I'm sure that someday soon I'll be begging for this feeling!

All that stands between me and that title of Registered Nurse is a pesky little test called (Jaw soundtrack, please) the National Certification and Licensure Examination, aka: the Boards. I've heard that it's actually not that bad and the school has paid for all of us to go through a review course. Luckily, I will be doing mine online in shorts, a tank top, flip-flops, while munching on fresh mangoes.

The next two days are going to be crazy busy: buying all the items on my folks' wishlist (which involves going to 3-4 stores), picking up items from church for missionaries, last minute shopping for stuff I can't get over there, getting my TB test read, packing as lightly as possible, celebrating our graduations with Melissa, Prayer Brunch, Pinning Ceremony, and take-off. Oh, and I have to sleep somewhere in that mix.

Thank you all for your prayers to get me through thus far! WE did it!
