I got a C and I'm not sad!
This past weekend was my 20th birthday and I also had a lot of time to spend with my wonderful grandma. I also had a Med/Surg exam today on shock/cardiac. Totally not my thing. I spent a little time during the week preparing for the test, thinking I could finish studying around my birthday on the weekend, but that didn't go as planned (I'm not complaining). Instead, I spent my time hanging out with my granny, who I love and cherish every moment wish. Every time I see her or hear her voice calling to remind me my birthday is in "14 days!" or "9 days!" or "6 hours!", I love her even more. I try to savour every moment spend with my granny I can. I want to be just like her; I want part of her ingrained in me. She is a fantasticly amazing woman. She almost passed away in October after open heart surgery. She was in ICU for 19 days, her organs started to fail, and the doctor's prognosis was grim, but she miraculously is walking and talking and still making people's days today. I know I have so many things to learn from her, from a woman who raised her own 5 children working on a farm, raised her sister's kids, and also took in a billion foster children. She has the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met. Needless to say, my family is blessed to have her around still, and having the opportunity to hang out with my granny, especially when you realize how suddenly life can be taken away, took prioroty over my exam. I got a C, and I'm proud.
