down to the wire

we're talking two more days in nashville. then it's on, to something new, away from everything and one that I know. closest friends on the east coast, honduras, the far northwest and then in nashville, and me westward ho. from NYC to winston-salem to seattle and all in between, my closest friend from school yet 12 hours away from me in san fran. a city i've spent a whole day in:) no more that 1 week in the state to which i now have a nursing liscence. and as much as i'm going to miss my friends and FAMILY (oh) i'm not scared of moving. of starting over. of being alone. no, i like these ideas. what scares me to death is being the nurse. of having my own patients and a real life job. that is terrifying, and that would have to occur in whatever state i ended up in. so i guess the journey is nothing to fear. it is just hard to believe altogether. but i've never seen the desert before, so that ought to be great. maybe the only great thing about a five day car ride! not really, i've got Cousin, so i'm straight.
