Graduation day was hectic,long, and really great!!! Im so blessed to have so many people care about me, to go out of there way and come up to flagstaff to watch me graduate!!! ALL the people that i loved were there!! A big group there physically, cheering me on, and some were more in spirit, from the midwest states, Egypt, to New Zealand. I feel so.....blessed. thats the best word to describe it. For most of the day i was just going through the motions, ya know!? Ive graduated before, so this wasnt any different! But i guess it all JUST hit me right now at 1 in the morning on my last night/day in flagstaff.
I remember coming up here for the first time, and at night, a group of people i was with were walking outside, and my cousin said " okay, dont look up until i tell you to." so i dont. and we walk a little further where there weren't as many bright orange lights. then my cousin says " okay look up!!" so i look straight up, and i see the blackest sky ive ever seen along with the brightest stars. I felt sooooo close to the sky that i could reach a little bit and grab a star! it was breathtaking it ALMOST brought me to tears!! Tonight, as i packed the last of my bags and loaded them in my car at midnight, i looked up and saw the same beautiful night sky, and i was brought to tears :'(
I stayed out there for a little while and all the memories made over the past 4 years were flooding my head, especially the last 2 years, and how great they were, and how much ive seen and heard, and felt. And i dont think college would have affected me in the same way, if i was not in Flagstaff. I love....Loved it here. This place will always have a special place in my heart:)

Done and Done!
Well,I am officially done with my Undergraduate work!! woooo. graduation is in 6days! A lot of people are coming from Vegas, I'm excited to see everyone! There isn't a whole lot going on, considering I've had one of the easiest.... no, THE easiest Reading week and Finals week ever! i didn't even see it coming!! It was a nice surprise! so I've been trying to enjoy this short time in Flag that's left. Although, it has snowed a couple times this week, which bothers me, cuz i know how beautiful it can be here, and its not been the nicest of weather! Other than that, eating lots of ice cream, having a glass of wine here and there! Its been really wonderful!! I couldn't have asked for a better ending to my 4 years here. I will miss Flagstaff very much, i made lifelong friends here, and grew SOOOO much as a person( especially this past year and a half)
So whats the plan for this soon-to-be college graduate!?? well that's the thing( and part of how I've been growing as a person) I don't have an EXACT plan like I've always had!! as scary as that is to admit to myself, I've accepted that i can't plan 5,10 years from now, because I'm not there yet! So my new outlook, has become, short(er) term planning. So this summer i will re-focus on the MCAT, and after that,who knows!!! I know i want to keep volunteering and job shadowing, and i want to also volunteer for Habitat for Humanity. and i have a goal of working in a hospital. As far as whether this will all take place back home, or SOMEWHERE ELSE!??? that i don't know either!! But I'm excited to find out ;)
