All done....

I can't believe I'm done. It's surreal.
My first final was on monday and it was physiology. I loved that class but the exams were tough. I hated them. Good thing the final wasn't comprehensive because I think I would have failed it. Then tuesday I had my calculus final. It was easy. I guess math comes easy to me because I hardly ever have to study for it and I always manage to get good grades. Finally, I got done with my last chem final yesterday morning and when I left the Chemistry Building I was in shock (the exam was super long and I H-A-T-E TITRATIONS!!!). Maybe it was the lack of sleep that had my brain sort of foggy, but I'm still having to pinch myself when I think the semester is over.
And yet, there's still so much more to do.
Now I have to start thinking of places to go volunteer at in which I can take my son with me. I'm thinking of doing Meals on Wheels, or making blankets for kids who are put in foster care, so they have something that's theirs that they can have wherever they go, kind of like a "security blanket"; or making puffy hearts for people who have lost a loved one. I think I can do all three of them.
I also have to start finding doctors to shadow. See, here's a problem: whenever I talk to a doctor, I get intimidated. I don't know why that is, perhaps because they have so much more education than me, therefore I feel "inferior" to them. So it's tough for me to shadow a doctor because if it turns out like my first shadowing experience with an OB, I'll be quizzed in front of the patient and I'll be expected to know the answers. Ugh. Embarrassing! But I'm hoping to shadow an Ob-GYN, Geneticist, and an Urologist all this summer. Maybe a Cardiologist if I can get ahold of my doctor (yes, I had heart problems when I was pregnant).
Now that I look back at this semester I just feel such a HUGE sense of relief. I can't even put it in words. It's like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. At the same time, I look at all this free time that I have and I wonder, "what in the world am I going to do?!"
So yesterday I celebrated with my son by taking him out for a picnic at the park. I've been taking him to the park a lot lately since I get so bored at home (he doesn't let me study so there's nothing to do). It's been good for him to get some sun. And I've gotten to know some moms there and it's been kind of fun. Maybe that's why I keep going back? LOL I'm not a great mom, though. That's not my "niche". My "niche" is being a student and learning. Don't get me wrong, however: I love my son and would die for him, but sometimes I want to pull my hair out with him haha
Well... I got myself a great book from the library and I plan on reading it on my spare time this summer. I'm also picking up more hours at work so I can make a bit extra money.
And then our condo went up for sale yesterday. I hope someone buys it quickly! It'll be at least 3 months until we can move out, and hopefully things will work out like they should :)
