My Dear John Letter to My Social Life

Goodbye fun, goodbye friends, goodbye sleep, goodbye anything not related to nursing school. If you are not in nursing school you may think I am overreacting or exaggerating, but if you are in nursing school you completely understand what I mean.

Today I started back to nursing school.....it is a sad and exciting day. Sad because nursing school owns my life, I schedule my time around clinical and exams and when they change my schedule everything else changes around nursing school. Exciting because after this semester I only have two semesters left! Only two!!! And then I am free! I am also excited to see what this semester will bring. Each semester is full of learning experiences, new classes, and seeing how hard I can push myself. Each semester I learn that I can rise to the occasion, I can study harder, I can go longer without sleep, and I can push myself harder than I ever imagined. Each semester I meet new patients, I get to learn about them and spend time with them, I get to learn a new area in nursing, and I always have fun stories from clinical! As much as it pushes me and makes it hard to socialize with anyone I love it! I love everything about it! I love the pace, I love pushing myself, I love finding new limits, and I love the patients! I am excited to see what this semester has in store for me and I am excited to share those experiences with you. Sometimes I may be down and sometimes I may be excited or even looking forward to the future, either way I will share these experiences with you! I am looking forward to this semester and the experiences it holds!

Now off to study.....
