(no subject)
I haven't had the chance to write for awhile.
So much has happened since my last entry! First and foremost, i GRADUATED!!!! I am so happy to be done with school, even for just a bit. It was the best thing in the world to have all of my family and the Cochrans together at my apartment! I had all the people who I love around me and it was wonderful.
So right after that I went over to Chicagoland and it was AWESOME! I want to move there! I am not even joking about that. I seriously love the city. It is gorgeous and the people are nice. It is fast-paced but it is very interesting because downtown a lot of things close on the weekends, like normal things that are open everywhere else at all times, like Starbucks and Subway. They weren't even open on Saturday when we were down there. I thought that was really cool because it is like yes you can be fast paced M-F but then they still take time to relax on the weekends. i loved loved loved riding the train from the subarb that Leslie lives in into the city. It was about an hour ride, but there are a lot of pretty towns that you get to see on the way in and it is just a totally different lifestyle! I had a lot of fun being there, discovering how much I think I could fit into a place like that, and spending time with my friends. There is a lot more I could type about but not now.
When I got home I checked my E-mail and I passed the AEPA!!! I was so damn happy. I truly thought i wasn't going to pass it because I didn't feel like I knew enough when I was taking the test, and the section that I took is the same that Speech Therapists take who work in schools that have their Master's degree and obviously they have much more knowlege and experience than me! But anyways, by some grace from God, I managed to get that done. Now I am truly in the process of getting certified and nothing is holding me back but paperwork!
I had an interview the day after I got back from Chicago in Deer Valley. It went well. I have one this tuesday coming up in Buckeye and then two down in Yuma next week as well. I am feeling good about my chances of getting a job.
Moving out of my apartment was sad. I think I really am going to miss living there. I already miss my sister and I am not going to see her for almost 2 weeks! It will be weird once she gets married and I will never live with her again!
Last night my cousin hosted a spa themed party for her mom for her birthday. It was really fun but we didn't get done with the whole thing and cleaning until almost 1 in the morning and I had to wake up really early to take my cousin somewhere and I didn't sleep well. I have seriously been going non-stop since graduation time and it won't end until maybe Monday. I don't have any plans as of now, but with my aunt you never really know. She always has something to do and apparently she can function off of barely no sleep, which is really hard for me.
Anyways, seems like a lot of good things are happening and I am very glad!!!!!!!!! I love not having a job right now and just going with the flow. I feel like I have been out of the loop though for a few weeks now and I miss all of my friends. Love you all!!! Now, trying to deal with this unbareable heat that I somehow managed to live in for most of my life. I can't stop sweating....I am off to shower.
