If you can’t count on your friends to capture unflattering pictures of you with bad hair and several chins, whom can you count on? As you can see, I spent the last hours before my final exam studying hard (read “catching up on RSS feeds and reading Twitter”), as did the friends who were taking pictures of other students wasting time. And it wasn’t all a waste. I think we all passed. The test sucked worse than usual. Almost every nursing school test causes us to scratch our heads and go, “huh?” but this one did so more than usual. And we were all cranky because our dean failed a lot of us on an assignment for failing to include information that did not exist. Readers in nursing school will instantly understand this as a fact of life, strange as it sounds. You can in fact fail things for reasons like that, and even if you argue your case the grade will stand. So we all had bad attitudes, and mine won’t go away. I have post-finals blues. I get ‘em every semester and forget every semester that I will get ‘em. What’s up with that?
I spent today doing laundry, vacuuming, spending quality time with my dog, and watching a few recorded TV shows. I should be in seventh heaven: a FREE DAY! Perhaps I just need a few days for it to sink in that I’m done. I think I’m all jacked up waiting for some really awful surprise when grades come out; perhaps when I see that the awful surprises have REALLY ended for the semester I will relax! I’m REALLY looking forward just working and studying for boards over the summer. I just need some time for the feeling to sink in.
