Well, it's crazy to say, but as of tomorrow around noon, I am finished with all assignments, papers, group projects, presentations, test, etc. for my bachelors degree at Winona State University. All I have left is a presentation tomorrow and I AM DONE. It's amazing. You never think you'll be done with school, it seems so endless.
I remember being in high school, thinking about that day soooo far away when I would be done with college. I even remember thinking that in elementary school. And now it's finally here. It's bittersweet, because I love it here. I love Winona, East Lake, my roomates, the college life, and overall, even school, nursing school itself. It's strange to end something I've been doing for so long. I have been in the same room with the same 55 kids for 4 semesters total. We've done everything together. And now, it will never be like this again.
I will miss Winona, my friends, my teachers, my classes, everything, that's the bitter part. But, the sweet part is even better. Even though I love it here, it doesn't mean, if given the choice, that I would want to stay and continue on with school. I'm excited for what is next! I get to go back to Rochester and start a new part of my life, which I think, is gonna be more of the "real world" part of my life. I just had an interview for a job, I'm getting married, and all that comes along with being on my own! yikes... but fun. I'm so excited. So, in conclusion, I'm sad to leave what I love here, but I'm even more excited to leave and do the new things.
I've been in school for 17 years. For as long as I can remember, pretty much, I've been in school. Basically, the new year starts in September, but now...September will come, and there will be no new grade that I'm in! How weird!
As new as it will all be, I think it will instantly feel like normal. The second I leave here, the sad part will go away and I'll get used to being back in Rochester really quick. It's kinda like when you leave high school, it's so sad and you'll miss everyone, but then it's finally over and you realize you really don't miss it all that much. At least that's how it was for me.
So, anyhoo, I have one presentation left. After that I have the nursing pinning ceremony and graduation on Thursday and Friday. I also have practices this week for both of those.
So, on Friday I graduate. But, then, the 8th-17th, I have class everyday in Winona from 8:30a to noon to prepare for my nursing boards, the NCLEX. So, I will still be studying...
Welp, I spose I should go to bed for the last time before a school day. Whew, it feels good.
