The Time Has Come


After my Lab Practical on Wednesday I was a free woman!
well...until today
I spent my 4 day weekend relaxing the best I could knowing I had a lot coming my way Monday
I could not even focus on studying for my final on Sunday
I kept checking and rechecking nursing forums and worrying like crazy
I did finally get to sleep around 3:00 AM

I woke up bright and early at 6:30 AM
I couldn't even imagine eating breakfast...but I did
I drove up to class and waited in the hall for 10 minutes for my final to begin
I checked one last time to see if the results were posted yet
nope

I make my way into the classroom and he begins to pass the exams out
I couldn't even imagine sitting down and taking a 100 question final at this point
there was too much going on in my head

I made it to question number 3 on the exam and the professor makes his way over to my desk and whispers
"You can leave if you want to"
oh my goodness...
I was shocked and walked quietly out of the classroom

I called my Mom to tell her how excited I was about getting out of my exam and she didn't pick up the phone!!!
I decided to check my application online again and low and behold...
I GOT IN!
I was about 3 steps out of the Biology building (walking off UTAs campus for the last time)
I was shaking, tearing up, and frantically dialing my Mom's number
I'm sure people around me thought I was crazy, BUT WHO CARES!!!?
I called my Mom two more times and no answer
I started running to my car and she called me back
I screamed I got in and the rest is history

I
AM
GOING
TO
BE
A
NURSE
!

The morning could not have gone better
We went to Joe T. Garcia's in Fort Worth for my celebratory lunch
I wasn't even hungry, but I got a little down.


We got home and I put the check in the mail and ordered my background check
It's official

I'm a Blue Devil

Can't stop me now

  1. Wow! I can't believe someone from DUSON found my blog! This is great. I can't wait to get to Durham in January to meet you. I just tried Uncle Julio's for the first time last weekend (how ironic). I will be sure to stop by and meet you once I arrive!
