Finals Are Around the Corner

Have I mentioned I'm a fourth year nursing student? Well, if I haven't I am not sure why since it is currently all that seems to occupy my time. My final exams roll around in two weeks. Eeek! I've also got a couple papers to do, a self-evaluation to complete and a clinical log to do. I also work part-time on the weekends. I also try to fit a life in there. It gets busy, but I have to admit that I absolutely love it!

It helps that my DH is the same way. He likes keeping himself busy as well and at this stage we're both highly career oriented. We've discussed this before and were agreed that the first few years of marriage were going to be pretty hectic. We got married the September when I first started school. It was a tough decision to make financially. I mean, we were both just getting comfortable with our dual income, I picked a great full-time line and my shifts matched with DH perfectly (we both do shift work), and there were things (i.e. trips, house, car) that we wanted to save towards. However, there was a part of me that wanted to go to school and DH was behind me 100%. So here we are, no house, no car (well no "new" car), no baby! But we're still certain we've made the right decision.
