Nursing school has been a wild ride. It has been much more intense, time-consuming, emotional, and confusing than I envisioned, making the end that much more satisfying. In case you are concerned, yes, I am aware that I am not really "done" with nursing school. I still have 3 semesters left. However, today I am putting that aside and celebrating this milestone...and it feels good :)
While this semester has been horrible at times, there have been some great parts too. I have developed some awesome friendships in the nursing program. Nothing bonds people together like struggling through a hard time together :). I have learned SO much about nursing and the human body and mind. And I have studied harder than I knew that I could.
However, I could not have done any of this without the AWESOME help of my family, friends, fellow nursing students, and fiance'. I am SO very thankful.
Now that this semester is over and I have some free time, I think I am going to finally be able to get to do more of the fun wedding planning stuff that I have had to set aside. Because our life has been so hectic, most wedding plans have been made because they could not wait any longer, and I am really looking forward to just enjoying some homework- and study-free time on wedding details! So tonight, as I sit next to Brian on the couch, I have my laptop on my lap open to this...
instead of having a giant textbook and notepad balanced on either leg with a pencil rolling between my fingers. And let me say, it feels pretty darn good :)
I FINISHED MY FIRST SEMESTER OF NURSING SCHOOL!!!!!! (I'm pretty sure that makes me a super hero ;) )
'Tis the season to celebrate Christmas...and the end of my first semester...and a chance to do some fun wedding "stuff"
