Belated Birthday Post
So, this is a little late, but I like to make myself "review" what I did with myself at my birthday. Keeps me on my toes I guess. So, while I was 24, I...
-got married!
-traveled to Bora Bora, Moorea, Tahiti (OMG)
-started my first semester as a real master's student, and kept up my 4.0
-lost 25 pounds (and gained 20 back- oops!)
-traveled to Chicago
-cut my hair!!!!
I guess that's it. It was a year more about quality than quantity. Definitely lots of changes. As for the upcoming year, there are big things in store. We're going to Ireland in March during St. Patrick's day. I've wanted to go to Ireland as long as I can remember, and now I get to go with my husband on St. Patrick's Day. The only way it would be more perfect would be if we were going for way longer. I'm so excited about it. Then in the summer, I'm going to Israel and Greece with my sister. Can't wait. Also going to Monterey, CA in April, and it sounds beautiful. And if I can swing it, I'm going to try really really really hard to go to Wisconsin with my professor for a 3-day brain dissecting seminar. I want to do it so badly, just have to pull the money together somehow.
I'm also feeling really warm and fuzzy about my career choice. Graduate school is a beast and it's kicking my ass, but I admit I do love it. This semester, I am working with clients with aphasia. I only have one right now. He's 86, had a stroke last year, and now he has Wernicke's Aphasia, and he is just the most darling person you could hope to meet, and so is his wife. They are so cute together. I'm in love with both of them already, and I'm so thrilled to start down this new path because I really think this is where I want to be working when I graduate. I have a volunteer position in the works at another aphasia clinic. It's so wonderful to find this new niche and be excited to learn all about it. I'm so into my aphasia class, too.
Oh, and now I have to re-lose 20 pounds. I could kick myself for being so stupid! I worked so hard to shed the pounds and now I gotta start all over again. GAAAHHH!!
So, this year is shaping up to be a good one. I remain a very lucky girl. (knock on wood!)
