The first of many lessons learned

I am the type of person that wants what I want RIGHT NOW. I hate waiting. When I have my sights set on something, I usually stop at nothing to get it. I am very headstrong. The Husband actually cited it as something about me that he admires but at the same time drives him absolutely insane. I am not used to having something take so long to get. I know I am working towards what I want right now. I realized from the beginning that this was going to be a long road. I was not prepared for the patience I was going to have to find in order to go through this process.

I found another job that I thought could hold me over until I started school. And really, this job isn’t so bad. Pretty boring most days, but not really all that bad. The only thing I can think of while I am here though is when can I quit? The days are starting to get longer as I sit here with very little patience, counting down the days until I get my acceptance letter and can hand in my resignation. I surf my favorite nursing blogs all day long just pining to be in their shoes. Imagining what my first days will be like. What my experiences will be. Wondering if I will become close to my classmates, and worrying that my introverted personality will shut people out like it always does.

Patience. I have really had to learn how to have patience over the last year. Kind of ironic that I am having to learn the lesson of patience while I wait for my turn to learn how to have patients. (yeah, that was cheesy.)

I just want to be in Nursing School already!!
