... and the countdown begins.

I officially have 3 weeks of school left. I am 1 presentation, 1 paper and a bunch of random useless evaluations away from the freedom that will become me. April 9, 2010, my last ACADEMIC day of my nursing degree. WHO IS FREAAAKKINNNN EXCITED! Then I start my consolidation/final practicum at the Hospital for Sick Children at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for about 2 months. Excitement is definitely in the air. I can't wait to get back into the hospital and do the thing nurses do (haha). Then, for the big day, [drum roll please].... JUNE 24, 2010, I am officially done.... FOREVER!!! (or until I come back to do my Nurse Practitioner, but that's not for another 3 years, nor does that sound as dramatic as "Forever" so we will ignore that little detail).

Apparently, the world is telling me I need to be an adult soon with a career. Well I guess that only makes sense after pouring over 30Gs into my educations (aaaand that includes my 20G scholarship that helped buffer that cost)... So I better get a jump on that career if I want to start paying back my student loans. But seriously, who needs a Bachelor of Science ANDD a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Whhhhattt I wastee of monnnnaayyy...

Dear OSAP,
Thank you for supporting me for the last 5 years through tuition, rent, groceries, bills and even supporting my shopping sprees and vacations. Its fun to reminisce about all those memorable moments we've shared... All the scares and angry times, when you told me you were only going to give me enough money to pay for HALF my tuition....AND remember that time you sent me a letter and made me cry because you told me I needed to give you all your money back even though I needed it? Thanks for all the good times and ALL THE MORE greatness that lies in our future.... I just ask of one thing, please be good to me in the years to come and I promise Ill try to make my payments on time.

Your long time companion and foe,

Jenni. aka. broke ass mother father who relies on you to live.
