Yesterday was my last day of clinic! We have one more not-so-hard week of school before graduation! Soon I will be an RDH (registered dental hygienist). Oh it is so hard to believe! You know what else is hard to believe - my parents are gifting me with a family seven day cruise to Alaska! My dream come true! Aaaah! Is this finally the time when I get rewarded for two years of hell?! I am nothing but grateful to God and everyone He sent my way to help me through this crazy time!
I still can't believe I am done, but it will slowly sink in, bit by bit, and every time it does, I am just happy it is in private, because I start crying. Man, what an experience - life changing for sure!
So much is behind now, things it feels like I will never forget (and hopefully forgive some day), but even more is ahead!
What might seem to be little things are now taking place, but to me they have great meanings:
- I can now make coffee in the morning (I have the time!)
- I can finally put the earrings back in (I was wearing them non-stop since I was 6 years old, they are my grandma's, and the instructors made me take them out for who-knows what reason, oh cause they weren't posts, or something, but now they are back in my ears!)
- I get to wake up slowly, not jump out freaked out by the thought that I didn't remind my patient about our appointment.
I AM FREE is all that is! And it feels amazing!
Here are a couple of instagrams to catch up on these two past weeks of my silence...
I got a new phone - one of the graduation gifts from my Jenya!
I got my cap and gown! "Class of 2013" - you better believe it!
I journaled to get me through this mess!
And I sent invitations out for my graduation! I drew my own picture, scanned it and printed it out to washi tape it to pre made cards - BINGO cute invitations for under $10!
