The end is in sight

Well, I can't believe it. My third class of nursing school ends in just a mere eight days. What a journey! I've done clinicals at a rehab center where there were tons of gnarly wounds, an OB floor, Dorothea Dix, and now a peds floor. I wish I could say that I were leaning in a certain direction. My vet said it perfectly when she said, "you like everything." Nursing is definitely my calling, and I can't believe I've been so lucky to get a shot at it. I often liken myself to the Phoenix rising from the ashes. Since 2007 it's been a wild ride, but going to Nursing School is really the silver lining. And, after next week, I can say that I have one more year to go. Whew. I'm most thankful to be able to say that.

Last night I got my groove back. After the longest winter of my life, I'm loving Spring. I met some great new folks when I was parking my car at Melinda's. It took me a minute to realize that this guy was talking to me, but when he said, "hey, Mercedes. I'm talking to you.", I eventually got it. Although all of the fun is hurting my study schedule, I'm hoping it was a sign that this Spring and Summer will be filled with impromptu fun and new friendships. One can only hope.
