get a college degree
College Graduate-RT(R)

I finally went back to school after almost ten years. I graduated in August with an Associate in Science degree in Radiography. After two long, hard years of work I was very proud of myself walking across that stage to get my degree. I am finally an RT®. I haven’t found a job in my field yet, but the satisfaction of having a college degree was definitely worth it.



learn to be still
i can be...still.

This is one of the harder goals that I have set for myself to accomplish because being still is a vague concept. Does it mean just literally the act of your body being still? Maybe it involves your mind being completely still, as in meditation. For me, it was a combination of the two. To be still, I would set aside time, ranging from 5 minutes to a few hours just to be still, or in effect just to “be”. I would start by having my body be still, either lying down or sitting. Then I would try to clear my mind of all the stresses of the day and just go from there. I would let my mind wander over any thoughts, worries, frustrations, and also little joys that might be locked inside. I also in the process taught myself to fidget less, both mentally and physically. All in all, it has helped me focus more and was a very worthwhile goal.



Fall in love
l.o.v.e.

i fell in love with a guy i worked with. as i am normally the shy type, as was he, i didn’t think it could ever work out. thank god for alcohol and christmas parties. i got the guts to kiss him and tell him how i felt, and we’ve been together ever since. he proposed on our three year anniversary and we’re getting married next year!
