here i am sitting at work (finally got the internet back!!!) i have so much to catch up on and so little time to do it all. i have homework, soap notes, case histories, and studying to do and so little time to get it done ... my mind thinks in numbers ... what numbers?? well let me break these numbers down for you:
8 weeks ... are you understanding the enormity of this number??? it means i have 8 weeks left of being at the U clinic each and every day ... 8 weeks left of therapy at this clinic ... 8 weeks left of writing/editing soap notes ... and 8 weeks left of teaching my poor first years just what is expected of them ... i can't believe i am here ... i can't believe that it was in april 2010 that my life changed as i knew it ... it was in august 2010 i was fully starting to grasp the enormity of my decision to go back to school ... and it is in may 2012 that i will be walking with the best of friends a girl could ask for and we will be celebrating this major accomplishment together.
8 weeks left of classes and clinic and then it is off to the real world to work and learn more. i cannot wait for this moment to come and i cannot wait to experience life out side of the boring beige walls of the university of utah speech language and hearing clinic ... i will greatly miss the faces of those that have become my family and best friends ... i will greatly miss sharing the ins and outs of my life in great and probably to much detail with them ... and i will greatly miss the comfort of finally knowing what is expected of me.
7 exams ... that is it ... that is all i have left of my graduate school career is 7 exams including my praxis which i signed up for yesterday (march 10, 2012!) i can't believe this number is in single digits ... i never thought this number would ever make it to the single digit and here it is. it is scary, awesome, exhausting, and anything else you can think of to know that i have made it to the single digits of exams!
8 months ... this is how much time i have until i walk the red carpet of the university of utah and they give me my coveted hood and send me on my way to the real world and expect me to remember everything they taught me. i can't believe that in august 2010 i thought to myself 'if i make it to may 2012 alive and well it will be a miracle' and here i am just 8 short months away. i can't believe how fast this time in school has gone and i can't believe how much it has changed my life. i cannot wait to share this day in 8 short months with my friends, my family, and everyone who supported my decision to go back to school as married woman, with a child, a home, and husband it wasn't easy by any means but it will be so worth it in the end and i cannot wait for that end to come!
i cannot wait for all of this to come to an end ... i cannot wait to actually be making money instead of spending money and collecting debt ... i cannot wait to have my weekends!!!

I am seriously so so proud of you.I can't believe you are going to be graduating with your Masters in 8 months. So crazy to think this college experience all began back in Snow Hall at Utah State. Good Times! I look at pictures and just laugh. We had so much fun and made so many great memories. Growing up is great but it is sad at the same time because it seems we get so busy that we lose touch with some of our favorite people. I HAVE to get together with you before I am out of here okay? Deal? Sure love you Cherise and I miss you!
