Pinning rehearsal today…boy, what a mess. A collaborated effort of unorganized nonsense. SURPRISE!

Today was my last day of the semester. I had 2 outcomes: pass with an incomplete or fail. I failed. But, I expected to at this point and I’ve accepted it. So things are ok, well they will be ok.

I had to update my “Graduation Party Facebook event today…which sucked. I received some really nice support from friends though. Love them all! And the next party will be bigger and badder!

Tomorrow is potentially my last offical day of nursing school…but most likely it will only be the last day of this semester. I have my final exam tomorrow that basically determines my future school agenda. Either a nursing miracle happens and I somehow pull out an 80% or I don’t.

At this point, I’d actually rather not pass this. I’m not ready. I want to take advantage of another semester and prove to myself that I can properly learn all this material and be confident in myself as a registered nurse.

Nursing school is hard.
Ask anyone who’s tried.

The past few years I’ve taken it all for granted. I’ve gotten by with A’s and B’s because I’m a smart individual. But I’ve cheated myself by not giving the material the respect, time, and dedication it needs. I “learned” the material I needed to pass the tests, and then it disappeared out the window.

Not anymore. I want to be a great nurse. I want to be someone people look to for guidance and trust. I can’t get to that point without a solid foundation. Next semester I’m rebuilding my foundation. Next semester I’m going to be proud of myself and all that I’ve accomplished. Is it going to be hard? Hell yes! But that’s ok.

What doesn’t kill me…makes me stronger.
