The Last Week

So sometime yesterday whilst pondering on my current state, I realized that this is my last week before starting nursing school, and it is also my last week of being a teenager. This is a little bit crazy sauce. It's funny because when I was a kid, I figured that I'd be all grown up at 20. I'd have everything figured out, and I wouldn't be scared of anything. Now that I'm actually here I don't feel grown up at all. I'm still just me. I'm still scared of spiders and snakes, and a whole lot of other things, and I have a whole lot less figured out than I did when I was little. Mostly I'm just a taller version of kidly me. :) But it is exciting to finally be in the nursing program, and it's a little weird to be turning 20. I decided I should probably start growing up when those things happen, so I've done as much as I can for the last few days to revert to my childhood as much as possible. Though that's proven a little difficult since I've been spending a lot of my time at work. But I did read the whole Fablehaven series (5 books) in a week, which was pretty awesome and reminded me of the fascination I had as a little girl with fairy stories. I also read The Outsiders, which have read about a bagillion times since I was about 10 and it's one of my favorite books ever. And I've been sleeping in, which I won't get to do much of for the next couple years :)

So that is my not-so-exciting conclusion to my Summer, and to my teen years. Hello homework and twenties!
