Just a little bit longer...

This is it!  Week 12!!! My last week of my second level 2 fieldwork!  And then I graduate.  Yes, you read that correctly, I am indeed graduating this weekend.  While I'm  trying not to jump the gun, I am reminding myself that in less than 5 days, I will be receiving my Master's degree in Occupational Therapy.

It's been a long and exhausting journey, but now that it's almost over, I can say it has been fabulous.  I have met some of the most fabulous and wonderful women in this program with whom I know will remain lifelong friends.  There have been a lot of hiccups and obstacles along the way, but here I am on the other side.

So, basically I have this week of treating children and then I'm jetting out of town at 5PM on Friday for a 4-4.5 hour drive to Harrisonburg.  Graduation is on Saturday morning.  It'll be a couple of crazy and jumbled few days, but to walk across the stage will be worth it.  Not to mention I'll have most of my favorite people there with me to celebrate.

It'll be bittersweet.  One chapter closes, and who knows where my life will go from here.  But I'm ready to head out and move on.  I can't wait to see what else this year holds.  Between my marathon and my master's I feel like 2012 has been pretty great to me.

The only thing I can't figure out is if I'm ore excited to graduate or see my 8 year old best friend this weekend!!!
