I took my last final exam yesterday and was officially out the door at 12:05 pm. It is a bitter sweet feeling for me because I truly enjoyed my teachers this semester as well as the challenges. In the very beginning I thought I was going to drop my Anatomy and Physiology class and re-take it over the summer, but to my surprise I walked away with an A, thank you to Dr. Karl Krout for that. He is by far one of the greatest professors out there. I am such an over-achiever with this stuff and always have been. I beat myself up if I can't get that A. There were plenty of moments when I felt like I didn't have a life besides school. In the end it was all worth it. Why? For more reasons than one. Not only is it such an amazing feeling, but as for now it keeps me above all the rest of the students applying for the nursing program. I will be turning in my application in a few more weeks. I am waiting for my finger print card to come back as well as taking the NET test to turn in with my application. I am shooting for the bachelor's program at ASU. So as for now I will continue to take classes at GCC, while I am waiting, the long wait, to get into the program. I have decided to take the summer off. I am not sure if I am more excited or sad about this. I woke up this morning feeling relaxed and saying to myself, NOW WHAT?
~I want to thank Jenni for all your support and encouragement along the way. I know it helps that you are a teacher, but you always gave me that thumbs up when I needed it. I love ya and am so looking forward to our summer off together!
I also have to thank Jearel for dealing with my freak outs when I never felt like there was enough time to do everything. For him this is just the beginning of whats to come. He wasn't always the best at keeping me focused on school. He would much rather have me drinking a beer with him. Good thing I am good at resisting temptation.
I can't forget to thank Grandma Riley and Gammy Garrett for taking Jay so I could go to school during the day and be with my family at night. Jayla loved every second of seeing both of you. (Just a reminder that you are more than welcome to still have her over the summer ;))
Lastly I can't not thank my beautiful daughter enough. I believe it is because of you that mommy has decided to finally get her butt in gear and finish school. I could not have done this with out you. You have brought me so much motivation. Seeing you everyday makes me want nothing but the best for you and our family. I love you more than anything.~

congrats! good job! hope u have an amazing relaxing summer u deserve it...
Oh - I am so proud of you! I know that this semester was a struggle at the beginning, but you stuck with it and look at the payoff - an A! Wooohoo!!!
I am glad that I was able to be encouraging to you! My inner teacher comes out and I just can't help it! Hopefully I am able to do that with my real students!
As for what to do now - how about EDWARD! You have been patiently waiting for him for months! And Jearel and Jay delivered you the books for mother's day, so happy reading!
Can't wait for summer - only 2 more days for academics for me and then the fun begins with these kids for the next 4 days until graduation, then I'll be joining you! Work on getting some of those gym passes for me!
I feel relieved for you! I also think that's a great idea to bartend again- just for sum side cash & fun! Maybe I'll have to stop in & have a drink sumtime & visit you?!
