This morning I took my last finals for my nursing degree. It is so surreal that I am finished with school. On one hand, I'm so happy. I worked so hard for five years to achieve this goal and despite many challenges, I did it. But I also feel somewhat lost.
What will I do with all of my time? I will only be working weekends, what will I do during the week? What do you mean I don't have to get up and go to school anymore? What do you mean I don't have to stay up all hours of the night finishing care plans and studying for exams?...There is so much running through my head right now. I'm feeling so...in limbo...like I'm waiting for something else to occupy my life, because certainly I'm not about to sit around all day.
This is a very weird day.
I'm thrilled to be finished; disappointed that I didn't do better on my finals (I'm assuming); sad to say goodbye to my friends in school; nervous about taking on this new role as an RN; excited about the opportunity to make more money; uncertain about the transition between it all.
I have been so comfortable in my life's routine until this point and now it is all changing. It's scary and joyous at the same time.

Congratulations on being done! You are so lucky and don't stress out too much about filling in the extra time. Little Marshall will easily help with that and I'm sure other things to do will come up too. I'm now counting the hours till I'm done with my semester. One more exam, a presentation and I'll be done tonight!! Yeah!! Can't wait to see you guys in couple weeks!
