Remember Me?

Yes I know: I am a horrible, horrible blogger! Things for the past three months have been SO hectic.

First and foremost, I started and finished my inpatient internship. At first I was a little taken aback by IP: the blood, the wounds, the POOP!!! Every...single...DAY. I would come home and tell DA endless poop stories (I almost lost it and vomited one day) and he would make fun of me for the entire night. Hell who am I kidding, he still makes fun of me! But, as time went by and I saw more and more of what these people do day-to-day and how much positivity they bring to the patients, I really realized how utterly rewarding IP PT is. I shadowed a REALLY awesome PT who wrote me an amazing recco. I'm so glad I interned in both OP and IP because I met two really great, passionate PTs in the process who helped me a lot. It was bittersweet cuz while I was glad to take one more "to do" off my list, I was sad to leave them. We will KIT though.

Then there was the hell of applying to schools. That sucked and took forever. I don't know why but it was extremely stressful. I guess it's because so much is riding on this; if I don't get in next summer, that's another whole year I have to wait and figure out what I'm going to do. It's also another year DA and I have to put our plans on the back burner. My dream is to go to Hunter College in the city and we are planning on moving either to Queens or the BX: basically anywhere within walking distance to the subway. He's waiting to see where I get in and then when I start, he's going to apply for the MST program for 2013. I like a man with a plan. In the meantime, he'll be getting his paralegal cert next spring so he can make some kind of money when we move out because God knows I can't contribute much. It will be a huge help to have him though: this way I won't have to take out as much of a loan as I would if I'd be doing this on my own.

I've been getting booked for a lot of tastings ever since we got a new manager, which is totally cool with me. I was able to pay my car payment and insurance for the month with last week's paycheck alone. SCORE!

The workouts have been on point. I lost all 10 pounds that I gained over the summer so I'm back on track...sorta. Cathe's new series came out and it's kicking my butt even though it's low impact. My jeans are fitting much better which is nice.

It's so crazy how everything is falling into place. The other day I stepped back and I was like "THIS is MY life???" It feels like I'm watching a movie, if that makes sense. As stressed as I am, I am SO happy and SO thankful for everything in my life right now. And I can't believe I found such an amazing guy to share it with...not to mention one that my parents finally LOVE. Sometimes I think they like spending time with him more than me LOL. Last weekend while I was studying, the 3 of them were busy getting their vino on; what's wrong with that picture? :)
