Awesome weekend

Well, this weekend was full of fun stuff. Had a date Friday night, and yes that says FRIDAY night and I had a great time.

Saturday I had pinning at school. Was pretty neat (even though my pin isn't in yet...) - was kinda nice being recognized for the program of study we were in and the fact that nurses are super special people, at least I like to think we are! About 11 Saturday night Mom and I decided to take my cap & gown out of the package to iron it so we didn't have to deal with it Sunday...............Only to find out the one they gave me was for someone SIX FOOT ONE.......Not a good thing. It was genuinely FLOOR length on me! Needless to say we were up till 1 hemming the damn thing and tacking up the arms since my hands were truly hidden in the damn thing!!

Graduation was awesome. Some some people I haven't seen in quite some time, some from the first semester I was in school. Nice to know that although some didn't make it through the program, the majority of us hung in and made it through. It was also AWESOME that Colin Powell was our speaker, and I got to SHAKE his HAND!! How awesome! He was a great speaker really brought some life to the day (cause I think graduations are boring as hell). Already decided if I do finish my BSN, I'm not freaking walking.............And probably not for an MSN. The only thing I may consider walking again for would be a PhD (and yes u can get one in nursing), an NP, or if I decide to become a Nurse anesthetist. Its gonna have to be something BIG for me to go through all that crap again!

Anyway, it was a great weekend and although I've been working and I've had my diploma since February sometime, the whole experience was way cool!
