How weird am I?

For the past 11 months, I dreamed of nothing but summer break. I thought if I could make it to July, my life would be wonderful. I would be the happiest girl in the world. I would never have to pick up a textbook or think about school or prepare for tests. Nothing could be better, right?

I have just now finished my first week of summer vacation. The first 3 days were simply amaaaazing. But now? I am bored out of my mind.

In the 7 days that I have been home, the house has been cleaned (read: the fridge and microwave have been scrubbed, sheets and blankets and towels have been washed and dried, my bedroom has been turned into a real bedroom instead of a place to throw my school crap, books have been organized, toilets have been bleached, the couch cushion covers have been washed, etc.), I have read two books for fun, I have caught up on millions of episodes of Lost and Grey's Anatomy, I have put in 3 days at work, I have met up with a freshman nursing student for lunch to give her tips on how to survive her first semester...and now I am at a complete loss at what to do next! I honestly have no idea what to do with myself.

We don't start school until the end of August, and I promised myself that I would give myself at least 4 weeks without studying. I have to force myself to not pick up my textooks and flip through the pages. I check out this site, like, 4 times a day just to keep myself from feeling so out of the loop. The only thing I wanted all year was to be done with school, and now the only thing I want to do is drive up to campus and hang out with my peeps from clinical!

I think I am nuts. I can't believe I actually miss school. If I am that bad now, what am I going to be like next summer when I graduate and am done with college forever?

I WISH i felt that way. I have two semesters of school left and I am SO not looking forward to them regardless of how badly I am ready to be done. The thought of starting clinicals again and having to do careplans again makes me want to vomit.

I just finished 2nd semester and I totally agree!!! I'm LOVING my summer break! I too feel like puking thinking about having 2 more semesters to go!:p
