What a freakin' weekend.

where do I start?

I had the extreme pleasure of graduating on Friday. I was exhausted, as I did work all day, and I was to work the next day's ceremonies (I need the comp time, come on). But when it came time to walk with all my classmates, I was very excited and ready to take the stroll across the platform.

The question that was on everyone's lips was "SO, what are you going to do next?" It beats me. I gave them the standard answer. I think I'm going to pee.

It hasn't quite hit me. The beer after graduation did. The beer the next night did. But hey, that's what you do when you graduate. You party with your best of friends and family, and I know who you are, thank you for showing up. But man it did kick my ass. You should have seen me, hungover, trying to help students put their gowns on. Some were screaming their heads off, and man I wanted to reach over and smack one of them. But cooler heads prevailed, and now I'm free, not locked up in bad administrator prison for being a bad sport. One student who was screeching (no really) was going to graduate with her BSN, bachelor of science in nursing. Now would you want a screaming freak sticking an enema tube into your second holiest of holies? No?

Now that I'm a doctor, it's funny. I love the fact that I'm only 30 and a doctor. I think it's pretty cool, mind you. And that is the one last goal that I set for myself. Seriously, I planned my life out about 10 or so years ago, and I told myself, I won't be able to really enjoy life and share my life fully with anyone until I do two things: go to Paris and stand at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and I receive a doctorate. I've done both of them, now the rest of the world has opened up for me to create new goals and fulfill the potential that is within.

Thanks to everyone who came out to partay...
