BSN

Okay, so I FINALLY did it.  I finished school.  I know-I've talked about finishing so much that I'm sure people were beginning to think that I wasn't actually in school.  It was probably something that most of my friends and family whispered about behind my back: "Just nod your head and smile.  She's been talking about this 'school' thing for a year now".  Well.  I actually was in school and I really did finish.  I swear.  I did 40 credits in one year.  I don't feel any different and I don't even get a pay raise.  All I get is the satisfaction of knowing that I accomplished something that I set out to do.  Now I am going to take some time off of school and "rest".  I have lists.  Lists of things I want to do.  Lists of things I need to do.  Lists of things I don't really want to do, but should because I am an adult (kind of).

I have always talked about jumping right into my Master's program when I finished the BSN, but I have decided to put that off for a bit.  Not because I'm sick of school (but I am really sick of it!), but because I'm not sure what I want to do.  I know that I want to continue and go for the Master's, but I don't know which field of study.  I need to get a little bit more experience before I can decide on a program.  So, for now I'm going to enjoy my dogs, my new toys and getting my house organized.  Not really sure how to live without being in school.  I've been doing it for six years, now.  I guess I get to learn about that, too!
