I Did It!

I can't believe it has been 2 months since my last post. Time definitely flew by. Anyway...

I am officially a college graduate!

That is really all I can say about that...other than FINALLY!

I was so ready to be home, and it has been amazing. I still have a lot to unpack and organize, but I am just really glad I am finally able to spend time with my family.

Classes finished up really well. I didn't really have any trouble with any exams, and I learned a lot this semester.

My Looking Back, Moving Forward Fundraising Walk to benefit the Alzheimer's Association went great considering it was freezing and hailing during the event. We raised over $800 and I will be sending the money in this week. Thank you so much for everyone who donated, participated, volunteered, or otherwise supported this project. It meant a lot to me to have such a great support group, and I am ecstatic to have raised so much to go toward Alzheimer's research.

I have about three months at home before I move to Tampa, and am really excited about everything. I am really looking forward to the combined graduation party with my sister, who is graduating from high school (so proud!), that we are having at the end of the month. I can't wait to see so many family members that I do not get to see often. I am also judging the state science fair and going to Colorado for two weeks with my dad. The rest of the my time will be spent getting back to being healthy (eating right, exercising, fixing my back, etc), trying to earn a little bit of money, catching up on reading and other hobbies, and relaxing before I hit the craziness of graduate school. Although I am really excited to go on to the next level in my education, I am really looking forward to taking a break from the stress that comes with it.

I don't really have that much else to touch on. I'm just really glad I am finished with my undergraduate career! Congratulations to all of my classmates, and thank you to all that have supported my dreams and goals.
