Two weeks left...

Well I have only two more weeks left at the nursing home. It has been a great experience but I am ready for it to be over. I graduate on May 15th at 1:30pm for the second time. I AM THRILLED to be almost finished with my education. I have now been in school for 19 years straight including elementary, middle, high school, four years of Bachelors work, and now two years for my Masters.

We are also getting super excited for our upcoming wedding. June 13th will be here before we know it. I am ready for school to be over, start my life with the love of my life, and begin a new job that I know I will love!

Hope everyone is doing great.

P.S. I love the warm weather......come on Summer!!!

Soooo happy!

Well just wanted to write a quick update. I know it has been a while since I have written on my blog. Yesterday and today have been good days and I am very happy.

Yesterday I met with my research advisor, who is also one of my favorite teachers from graduate school, and we put the finishing touches on my research project. As of yesterday at 4:45pm, my project is on the department head's desk and complete. I no longer have to make edits, design a chart, or read that paper anymore. My paper ended up being around 33 pages in length, and I am proud of the finished product.

Today I got off work from the nursing home and had six missed calls and a text message from my sister saying to call her asap. She has been checking up on my praxis scores to see if they are available yet. Today, I received my scores and as far as I can tell I passed. For the test I took for speech pathology in the state of Missouri, you need a 600 to pass and I got a 620. I am very surprised I passed because it was one of the hardest test I have taken in a long time.

Well I have had two great days to the start of this week. I have three days left to work this week and then it is going to be a fun weekend with family and friends. My sister, Brandon, Jeremy, and I will all be going out on Friday night for a good friend's 22nd birthday bash and Saturday we will be walking to Rock N Ribs from my sister and Brandon's house. They live just a few blocks from Bass Pro so it should be fun! I hope everyone is doing well.
