the night before the final...

tomorrow afternoon, i will be taking my last college final. the last sit-down exam in the school of nursing. il finito. i always thought i would feel relieved knowing exams would soon be out of my radar. that the days and nights of preparation, anticipation, and mental exhaustion would be no more. however, tonight - the night before the final - i find myself feeling a bit numb. how is it that days, months, and years of something so familiar end with an hour-long exam? the student with whom i identify is taking steps away from the comfortable. the anticipated. the predictable. the student in me is shedding her skin. beginning with tomorrow's final.

prepared for tomorrow? absolutely. finishing with a bang? i hope so. craving something sweet to get this bittersweet taste out of my mouth/mind/life? you better believe it.

so here is some sweet inspiration for the night before the final...
