Going to School, Going to School

I can’t believe that I start nursing school on Monday! I feel l like I have been working toward this goal for such a long time and it has always felt like it was such a far away dream…until now. Now it is upon me and I am both nervous and excited!

I am nervous because I don’t know what to expect. I am nervous because my routine is going to be drastically altered. I am nervous because I am going to have to be SUPER DUPER organized and that is totally NOT in my nature. I am nervous because what if I have taken on too much and I can’t keep up. I am nervous because I have never left my baby for longer than 4 hours at a time. I am nervous because I don’t know how this change will affect him and I don’t want him to feel sad or scared. I am nervous because what if I forget to pack something in his bag that he NEEDS for the day.

I am excited because I don’t know what to expect.  I am excited because I am ready for a new challenge. I am excited because I believe this is the path God intends for me to travel. I am excited because I believe that by achieving this goal many doors will be opened to me and my family. I am excited because I know my baby is being left in the hands of women who love him almost as much as I do. I am excited because back to school means that soon it will be back to football. I am excited because I am a nerd and I LOVE school – especially the first day. I am excited because THE TIME HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!

I am nervous because time is moving so quickly! I am excited because I can’t wait to see what lies around the bend!
