Woohoo!!!!

I FINISHED SCHOOL!!!! I DID IT!!!!!!

I graduated! I finished! Oh boy it feels good.  

I started this countdown sheet in September of 2016 when I hadn't cut down on my working hours, had started my clinical hours, and had frequent emotional breakdowns, and could barely keep up.

I had to add extra days because I ended up taking last summer off (one of the best decisions of my life), so I had to add on the extra semester. I kept this at work and would look forward to crossing off each day. Yesterday I didn't have anything to cross off except for another item on my bucket list :) :) 

So right now (assuming I didn't flunk my last presentation) I am Caroline MSN RN. Once I take my certification exam this summer, I will get to add even more letters to my name. At that point, I will be Caroline MSN RN AGCNS-BC. I'd tell you exactly what that meant, but it's so long I think I'd bore you. 

Thank you everyone for encouraging me and supporting me and putting up with my mood swings from school! Someone asked me if I had more free time now. Not gonna lie- the answer is no. I have managed to fill up any free time I had, but it's stuff that I like to do. 

On another note, I am more than 1/4 of the way funded for my trip! It's been just over two weeks since I started fundraising... I have a post brewing about how incredibly amazed I have been by the generosity of friends and family. That will be coming soon so stay tuned. Thank you so much for your support!  

I love you all. The sun is shining, I don't need a jacket to walk outside. I don't have school assignments hanging over my head. My sister is coming home from school this week. I'm going out to dinner to celebrate graduation tomorrow.  Life is good.
