Long time, no post

Hey all! Long time no posts, I know.
So, just what have I been up to over the last year and a half?

• I graduated with my Undergraduate degree. The ceremonies were awesome. My folks and sister came to see me accomplish one of my great goals for my life. 
• A few months later I relocated to be near my sister, and to get residency with the hope of being accepted to a graduate program in my new home state, since I managed to get denied twice from my program of choice.
• Found a great full-time position that was set to be just a few months and wound up being seven months. I loved it, and I loved the company. When I left I really wanted to find a permanent position there.
• In April I applied for the Rehabilitation Counseling program at the local university and was accepted (Hallelujah).
• In June I was informed that I had been accepted as a full-time student for the program and was so excited. I also applied for the RSA Scholarship, which covers tuition.
• In early July I was awarded the scholarship that I was hoping to get. 
•  I applied for residency and as school was fast approaching I still did not know in mid-september if I had residency, but decided to move forward anyway. 
• The day before orientation I found out that I had been granted residency for my new state. 
• Early October I started my first quarter of Graduate School. It was hard work, but I made it. There were many tears and fears of failing, but thanks to an incredibly understanding professor I was able to successfully complete my first quarter and am ready to take on the next!
