Taste The Rainbow

Today was a crazy day but in a good way! I did graduate today which feels amazing but it also feels like a dream. It will take a bit to sink in but I am proud of my accomplishments thus far and those I am facing in the near future. It was weird, when I got home from class today out of all the things that should have or could have been going through my head, I was thinking about my mom. I was thinking that for the first time in a long time she had something to be proud of me for. She could say my eldest dughter is married, lives in CA, and is a pharmacy technician. I know that sounds crazy but I wish everyone could understand how it made me feel to think that she was dissapointed in me or that she couldn't talk about me proudly without having to make excuses or tell lies. I am in no way saying my mother is this kind of person because she is not, and would never make me feel that way. I just know how hard it must be. I am not a selfish person. Wow, this is a hard thing to explain but I think that is the best way. My sister has always had amazing accomplishments and I have never had anything like that until now. I can imagine what would have been going through my mom's head before this when she talked about her oldest daughter. In a sense today was a relief. Not just an amazing day but a weight lifted from my shoulders knowing I made others proud as well.
Tomorrow I am going to complete an application for Walgreens and see where that leads!! It is exciting but I think the hard part is still ahead!

I went to the hospital today for my surgical consult and saw the surgeon. I have inclusion cysts on my head that are about the size of a quarter and the size of a nickel. I also have one on my forehead that is the smallest but it is the most painful. They declined do remove that one though and said that it would require plastic surgery. They set a surgery date for May 2. I was really surprised because last time I had one removed they just did local anesthesia and made an incision, scraped them out and sewed my head back up. This time though they are putting me under anesthesia and doing full surgery which blew me away. I just didn't expect that. So even though I have had this done one other time I decided to look it up on the internet and the pictures were absolutely disgusting. Maybe I should not have looked lol!

Tomorrow is my second to last day of class and I am getting so excited but will be sad at the same time. I am such a good student and really belong in the class room. I tend to not feel as strong or confident in the workforce. Plus I will miss everyone! I know that it is time to move on to bigger and better things though and that this is my time to shine and show everyone what I've got! The sky is the limit now. I think my certificate might be ready tomorrow but if not definitely Thursday. That will be framed for sure and hung somewhere in our apt. I already have a frame picked out and everything lol! Then I have 2 weeks until the national exam and I am going to try and study 4 hours a day with maybe weekends off. It will be crunch time and I have resolved myself to the fact that I can rest when it is over but this test wasn't cheap and I am ready to pass it the first time!

Then the day after my test I am spending a three day weekend with my best friend littlered21 in AZ and that is very exciting. I just know that three days is never going to be enough time to do everything we want to do lol! A ton of pictures will be taken though and we can stop usuing the same picture for all the bestie offers and we both will be happy about that I am sure :P Going to hopefully be booking the hotel and all this next week which will really seal the deal. It will be a much needed break and a whole lot of fun!

Gonna look over my material for tomorrow and then call it a night in about an hour or so. Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!
