Footprints in The Sand!

Evidently it takes only one Monday, one am shift to completely undo the effects of a 3 day weekend. Everyone was in a 'bad' state this afternoon and class as it turned out was a loony bin.

This week is our last clinical rotation,unbelievable, surreal even. The depressing tan colored paint in the processing area seems to take on a more friendly hue when you know you will not have to see it everyday all day in just a little while.

Unnervingly though, it all comes down to these final two weeks. Although unlikely, there is always the possibility that you can screw up all the hard work behind you in a day or two, which takes away from the delight of it all being almost over.

I have not written the speech either. I'm a little intimidated by the idea actually because I typically have nothing to say when I have a deadline to meet. (Naresh-help?? you are the queen of grad. speeches)

So while I am looking forward to tossing the grad cap up, waking up 3 hours later than I do now, reading the paper over coffee in pyjamas, Monday morning pedicures and Wednesday afternoon naps, I also remember how much more there is to go. We are so close, but so faraway.

On that note, Leona Lewis' Spirit has a very unlikely surprise in the song "Footprints in The Sand"

Because I signed up for contemporary pop when I got the album. And Then I heard footprints in the sand* and the ratings went higher than they already were.

And so I effortlessly found the first song in-might be the only song on the Graduation play list.

My Rita is giving the grad speech!!!! YAY!!! SO proud of you girl!!!! Now I wanna come even more :-( I kinda got a ride-ish avec mon ami... but we both know my parents wont let me drive 13 hrs with him so I don't think I can make it, and the poor thing is afraid that you are going to 'accuse' him of being in love with me if he takes the trip... but we all know he is. lol... and him driving me 13hrs to go to ur grad would DEFINITELY prove it!!!

love u lots and miss u more!!!!!!

Oh you know how to make my day you! So close yet so faraway :) Still so close :)

Graduation huh? I'm tipping my hat and saying congratulations to you, Scotchie! You did it!

LOL at the hue looking a tad appealing now that there's a couple of days to go :)

I know what it must feel like the day I wore the smurf blue scrub nursing school uni for the last time I was way over my head. It felt so good yet so surreal because each passing day I knew the last day was a day closer but still faraway just like you said but it came to pass and so shall yours girlie!

Graduation speech? I tortured myself only once and I did not even write it down I just said it in my head. Whoa now you make me want to get it down on paper. But as Anna Nalick says on -Breathe- once all those words are out on paper it's going to be words of my diary screaming out loud and they just might use them against me lol j/k

Music has been taking me places. All I've to do is plug those earphones :) Thanks for the song. I know I'll like it :)

Congratulations, Scotchie!!!!!!!!!!

I love the song. It says it all for a graduation speech..it says it all to all the support network and all the loved ones and friends who've stood by me and am sure you during not just school but life's good and bad.

It's a beautiful song!

Thank you :)
