Tomorrow is my own commencement. I have finally completed bu Bachelor's Degree in Public Health (many of you know that Nursing School starts this summer, joys of being an unlicensed clinical professional).
I am so overwhelmed I feel tearful.
My family is not really organizing themselves well, I am stressed out classes that start in two weeks, so I don't have that sense of relief that I am done.
I don't feel proud of me, and I don't feel like my parents are proud either. I feel like a burden. My sister went to Nursing School right out of high school, doing everything "right" and I feel like that has shaded the perspective on my achievement for us all.
And then! Then Mother's Day is Sunday. I am a mom, and I am anticipating more obligations than celebrations. As it is we are hosting a friend of my son's for an overnight.
