Well, I am officially a college graduate. I've been done with all my classes for over a week and had my graduation ceremony this past Sunday. I have no clue what to do with myself now that I don't have to be at the hospital for clinicals or on campus for class. Not being in school and having no obligations is surprisingly boring! I have somewhat been using my free time to explore Milwaukee a bit more before I move back home to Illinois. I have a Milwaukee bucket list and it all needs to be taken care of within the next 3 days. It's a shame that I'm finally realizing what a nice city this is in the few days before I leave. But this is when I finally have time to do all the exploring and guess what...Milwaukee doesn't suck as much as I thought it did! Who knew??
Next week will be my first week living back at home with my parents and my brother. I am dreading it. It's like I can see my freedom slipping away before my eyes and can't do anything about it. They say that I won't have rules and restrictions and blah blah. I hope not, I'm 22 for Christ's sake. We'll see about that though.
I do get to start the exciting adventure of applying to take my licensure exam then studying my ass off for it. I'm going to give myself a little break until the holidays are over, because holidays are insanity, but then it'll be time to crack down and make sure I pass that exam. Then once I pass I get to job hunt, which I'm oh-so thrilled for. Job interviews are terrifying. Especially when the nursing career is still so new to me. Hopefully it'll be okay though and everything will work out!
