Updated Status: MUSC Alum :)

Monday Afternoon
I am proud to say that I graduated with my Master's in Occupational Therapy from MUSC this weekend & was absolutely humbled by the love I received from my family & friends. It was a wonderful weekend spent with those I love and cherish most :) Now that you know that I have my Master's, you might be wondering what is next on my list...well, here it is.

A Start To A Graduate's To-Do List

1. Study over the next month & pass the NBCOT exam in August. Claim that OTR/L status!

2. Secure a job. Any job really. In the state of South Carolina. Charleston would be nice.

3. Become a true "South Carolinian" & say good-bye to my TN tags & driver's license. 

4. Move out of my downtown apartment & into something with washer/dryer connections.

5. Put my new racket to use & take up tennis. Be ready to challenge Nandito in 12 months. 

6. Commit to studying Spanish & practice it daily. But really this time. Really.

That's a hefty list. Numbers 1 and 2 terrify me, but I know things will work out on their own if I put forth the effort and ask for help along the way. I have no idea what my life is going to look like in the next few months or even in a year, but I plan to stay positive, dance to Stealers Wheel when I am stressed, keep chocolate nearby & trust the Big Man Upstairs :) 

That said, cheers to the next chapter! Thanks again for all your support. Would not have survived the last two years without you all in my life. Love you all & enjoy the pictures!

Wednesday News

1. I have a love for posting on Wednesdays. Probably because it's known as "Hump Day".

2. Had an amazing 4th of July in Hilton Head. Riding on handle bars & catching blue crabs.

3. Heading to TN in 2 hours. Couldn't be happier. Love seeing my best friends & family. 

4. Currently on the hunt for a new apartment in Charleston. Definitely staying in SC :)

5. Still in search of a job. Waiting to hear back from a few. Positive thoughts & prayers. 

6. Graduating in 10 days. Wild. Welcoming change, an income and a career I can live for!

7. Found and retrieved my first sand dollar on the 4th :) Hoping it brings goooood luck. 

8. Haven't had the best luck with movie rentals lately. Ready for a movie to stir my soul. 

9. Lulu Marie experienced a minor bump & lost a pedal. In the shop until further notice. 

10. Finished my last rotation EVER last Friday. I'm going to love the status of an OTR/L. 

Featured Music

This song has been making its round through emails, You Tube, Vimeo & blogs since dropping July 1st. With 400+ views in just a matter of days, this video is sure to make its way to 1000 in no time. You might think I am partial to this artist, and maybe I am, but you'll thank me later for introducing you two. If you like his sound, show him some love and "like" his video. His upcoming "We Vibe" EP will counter your thirst for more after listening to his first single, "I Don't Fear." 

Cheers to an indelible beginning, Marco Mar. May the world hear your music and vibe to the music of your life. Friends & family, as always, you are my reason for being. Love you all. Wishing you a great Wednesday.
