26 April Done Year Three I am now done my third year of Nursing at the University of Alberta! 3/4 of the way toward being in the real world, making real money, having real responsibilities - and hopefully not being really fearful of making many mistakes. In a few ways, I'm really excited. It feels like it's been a long time coming, and I can't wait to really feel useful and skillful (how many times have I used some form of the word "real" in this post so far?) But then again, I don't know how prepared I am. I don't know how equipped or apt I am. I kind of want to put off the real world indefinitely. This summer brings my first exposure to 12 hour day/night shifts, the emergency department, and a paycheck that pays for more than just living during the summer. I should be stoked, right? And I am. I also feel just a little bit scared and a little bit behind the pack. A friend of mine got married this weekend, and while I would have loved to have been able to attend, it got me thinking. . . out of our little pack of 4, there are three married girls and me. Three graduated, working, married ladies. I certainly don't feel like I need to rush anything, but I think about my complaints and worries and issues and I think of all the people I know that just aren't in the same stage of life anymore, and I wonder who to turn to with some of my stories and frustrations. I know there are still tonnes of people in school, so I'm not sure why I focus on those who aren't - I'm only 23. I made the graduates for this year cupcakes that I will be delivering tomorrow during church. I was glad to bake, and glad to bake for their achievements. I've been playing a little bit with Jeremy's XTi, and I should post a photo or two that I took of Jordan (my brother) while Jeremy was teaching him guitar. It was fun to quietly sit to the side and play photographer. You should check out Niki and Nathan's photos.
