Well, its over. Much to my grandmother's relief, my nose piercing is gone. The only constant "stud" in my life has been thrown away. Tossed out. My almost-4-year relationship is over. Time to grow up (at least from an outsider's perspective.)
I also have finished half of my degree today. It feels wonderful. In a little over a week I will start my third year of optometry school and with that comes real patients with eye problems that will come to clinic and hope that I can fix all of whatever it is that is bothering them. I celebrated by taking my birthday massage early. WOW - if only I could get a massage every day. Wait, then I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much. Maybe every other month. That could work. But I am going out tonight to celebrate with classmates and soon to be gone school friends that are starting on their 4th year rotations. Only one more year for me!
