Wedding Fever trumps Nursing School Fever

So I woke up this morning to find myself with wedding fever instead of finals fever as I had hoped. I guess it's just not meant to be. It's funny that I found myself this way. I haven't really thought about the wedding for a little while and I guess it was getting kind of jealous of nursing school.

My sister was pinned last night. Pinning is to nursing school as graduation is to regular college. So my sister has officially graduated from nursing school. She is an RN now!! My big sister is really a huge inspiration for me to continue and not find myself in a nursing school induced coma. She has a 7 year old, a 4 year old, she works doubles on the weekend (a 12 hour shift on Saturday and another on Sunday), and a husband who owns a business. Goodness. She's a busy woman. Did I mention she's incredibly smart? She never studies and still does great in school. In fact, she took a test that told her that she has a 99% chance of passing the NCLEX (giant nursing test that gives you your license). My sister is pretty much awesome. :)

I get to see Seth on Wednesday!!!!!! It's funny to me that I was used to only seeing him every 3 months and now I have to see him every month. I guess it's all relative. He found out today that he can't branch into Aviation (some technical difficulties) and instead he is going to go Infantry. I'm so proud of how well he's taking the change. He is being so positive about the fact that God has a plan for us and obviously it's not Aviation. Which means we won't be going to Alabama anymore. The good news..... WE MIGHT GET TO POST HAWAII!!!! How cool would that be?? I'm not getting my hopes up (no, of course not) but there is a chance and if the opportunity is there we're taking it!

Also, I've come to the realization that I am going to officially be a senior on Wednesday. Wow. Time has flown. This past year has without a doubt been the fastest year of my life. It is amazing to think that in just one more year I'll be graduating and be a nurse. Especially considering that only 2 years ago I had completely different plans. Those plans including being a doctor (blah). I know where I'm supposed to be and that's incredibly exciting (and hopefully includes Hawaii..)!!

Boring Adult health is calling my name. I have to do a module for integumentary disorders and skin is the one thing that grosses me out terribly. Warts, stand back. Ewww....

And something that is definitely worth some thanks to God: I did very well (a 90%) on my HESI yesterday. I don't normally talk grades on the internet, but this is exciting because it means that I'm actually learning the things I need to be learning. I have this horrible, constant fear that I'm not retaining anything and then this test came along and proved me wrong. Yay!!!

Ok guys, as you were. Good luck for everyone who has finals and Happy (almost) Summer for all!!!
