A week from now.....

I will be able to say I have successfully completed my 1st semester of nursing school. It is such a good feeling, I'm not gonna lie!

I have been a horrible, moody, bitchy girl for the last 5-6 days because I was so stressed out. I had a patho and micro test on the same day, and then hospital simulation testing on Tuesday. Plus working, and all the normal things you have to do in life, like eating, bathing, sleeping. But I have gotten through it.

I got an A on my Patho test, a B on my Micro test, and most importantly I passed my simulation test! So honestly.....Finals feel like a cake walk to me. Normally, finals are the most stressful part of semester for most people, but after this semester, I am doing well enough that I don't need to kill myself. Even if I end up dropping a grade in each class after the final, I am still passing and that is all that matters.

So, I am feeling like a ton of weight is off of my shoulders for the time being, and I'm back to feeling like I can relax again and not feel guilty. For instance, I am going out to see a movie tonight with my hubby instead of studying, and it feels really good, and I don't feel guilty about it at all.

I do plan on doing my usual Thursday date with myself at Panera tomorrow all day and get some studying done, but I am just not going to kill myself with stress this next week.

But, I'm feeling good. Just gotta get through my last day of clinicals, 3 finals, a final clinical evaluation, and this chica is done!!!
