Almost Finished

I have 6 more Monday shifts and 7 more Friday shifts in the school clinic as an intern.  Not that I'm counting or anything.  I have a quick  case presentation to give on Friday, a research paper to turn in before Sept. 4th and a presentation to give about Oriental Medicine to a group of people also before Sept 4th.  Then I'm done.  All classes are completed and passed.  All exams passed.  Just the paperwork is left and I've already gotten a head start on that.  Then I'll have my license in hand so I can start my practice.

So how do I feel?  A bit shellshocked.  Disoriented.  I'm excited about beginning a new normal.  I have more freedom and so much support from family, friends and clients.  Making all of these choices about how my life will be structured is a bit intimidating.  I need to get over that.  I will make mistakes.  I can change things as needed.  Nothing is set in stone.  I have to remember:  I am in charge of my life.

But right now, I just need a nap.
