Goodbye 2011



2011…
I don’t get to post as much as I should, but I’m going to attempt to take a minute too. Nothing long or deep, just a few thoughts as the New Year nears. This is kind of a cool point for me. This time last year I had just gotten accepted into nursing school (and was scared out of my mind). This time next year I will have just graduated (and will be scared out of my mind again). I am half way through and that is an awesome feeling. The semesters are so fast paced that they fly and are over before you realize it, which is the way it has to be because you couldn’t make it if they were or seemed any longer. This semester was awesome, despite having an instructor who is known for being “blonde” to put it lightly. It has left me both feeling ready and very excited for my next semester. I am thankful for the nurses that I got to work with. They gave me the boost of confidence that I really was lacking. And my classmates were awesome also. They made the semester survivable and wayyy too much fun…



As I look back over the last year, if I had to come up with one word to sum it up it would be change. Or uncertainty. Or insanity. Well, maybe I could find several words… But maybe it was a little of all three. Jan of 2011 seems like a long time ago. Longer than a year. So much has happened and changed since then. It has left me really ready for the New Year and all the changes that will come. I’m excited to see what happens next. Hoping for no injuries or broken bones for a while though. Had my fill of those in 2011. While it did have its rough spots and low points it seems to be ending on a good note. So here’s to hoping 2012 is awesome and I feel God’s presence can see His fingerprints on the situations that are not.
