365 Days of HOLY CRAP

I had a realization tonight. It was a year ago that I lost something very dear to me and thus began a year of intense change. It was my last year of college and I wasn't entirely sure what was going to happen in that year. A year ago tonight all I wanted to do was curl up into a ball and shut out the world. So right now, at this moment, I'm going to take stock of what's happened in the past year. This should be interesting.

1. Graduated from OSU. After four long demanding years I finally finished my degree and graduated on the honor roll. I kicked ass.

2. Wrote a neat little senior thesis. Something I never thought I would have the gumption to finish but I did it and I'm so proud of it.

3. Got a job. I'm pretty proud of this since this job kicks so much ass. I'm incredibly fortunate to have this opportunity and I'm taking advantage of all it has to offer.

4. Moved away from Oregon. Something that I didn't think I'd have the strength to do but I'm doing it and I"m missing home but am enjoying a new location.

5. Ran a 5k. I never thought I'd have the strength or the stamina to run a road race (even a short one) but I did it and I'm still running which makes me very happy.

6. Start my Divemaster training. This is a goal I've been wanting to attain for a long time (about 5 years) and now it's finally being worked on.

Parting Words Of Wisdom

"The fear of rejection really kind of stunts your growth as a person. I mean, it's like a friend of mine says, who cares if you fail? Who cares if you fail? It's like babies try to get up and walk all the time and they keep falling down. If we just gave up, we'd all be crawling around." — John Rzeznik
