GOODBYE,HARRY POTTER!

Just seeing thick books makes some bored.It's interesting how JK Rowling was able to get a lot of people into reading. Her Harry Potter books attracted millions or rather billions of people all over the globe to read not just one but seven books. Starting off with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Rowling has gotten the readers asking what will happen next or when will the next book come out. She is one hell of an author.


Im gonna miss Harry and all the other characters.
What's next JK?


Harry Potter and the deathly hallows (part 2) in cinemas now.click here for trailer:

BLAHBLAHBLAH

 Graduation.

     You take a deep breath knowing that you can spend days watching tv,spend hours surfing the net, sleep in late and party all night without thinking about exams and projects due the next day. No more waking up early for 7am classes and no more teachers scolding you for being late.It's like being unleashed and being able to do anything you want for a while---then reality hits you.You are not a Registered Nurse yet.

Review.

     Its back to reading your old books,listening to lessons you have forgotten and taking long exams EVERYDAY. Its back to basics,some say. Some get bored,some have fun. You wish that time moves faster so you can take the board exam and relax---even for a while. Passing the NLE ( Nurses' Licensure Examination) is every student nurse's dream. It's like summarizing four school years into 2 days. You put in a lot of effort attending the review and copying almost everything the teacher says. As the days pass by, you start to say no to parties, deactivate your facebook account and you try to stop doing the things you enjoy the most.

Exams.

3 months..
2 weeks...
1 day...
Days pass by quickly and you are not sure if you're ready to take the exams. You try to sleep early but you can't. You try to read but you can't focus. You wake up before your alarm clock rings and you can't stay in one place. You try your best to answer each question carefully and make sure you fill in the blanks correctly. You take good care of your answer sheet and make sure it stays clean and safe. Paranoia sinks in but you just have to stay calm.Everybody expects you to do well.Don't let the pressure eat you.Just do your best and believe in yourself.

It will be over soon.
All you have to do is wait for the results.
Whatever the results are,accept it.
If you fail, take the exams again.Its not the end.
If you pass,congratulations for a job well done, RN :D
