Everything Happens for a Reason

Everything happens for a reason.

Everything happens for a reason.

I am a very strong believer in everything happens for a reason.  And today I think of that because today was my last day of school ever.  I realize it took me quite some time to graduate, but here I am. I finally made it!  I knew what I wanted and I wasn't going to let anyone stop me from getting there.  I was in college for a very long time, and sure even some of ya'll have your jokes, but it's not anything I'm not use to.  

I'm not writing this blog for people to feel sorry for how long it took me, or to feel sorry for the fact that people make fun of me for how long it took me, or to feel sorry for me at all.  Why feel sorry for me when I have finally reached my goal of getting my Bachelor's in Radiologic Sciences, specializing in Mammography.

I will be even more excited when I take my registry (and hopefully pass) so I can be Mekayla Harp (or Martin) RT(R)(M)! ;)

It will give me a sense of pride. 

I will admit I love when I figure out why things happen when they do, but this is one big one that I have yet to figure out.  I don't know why it was in my story to take this long to graduate, it just was.  This is what God planned out for me.  Maybe I wasn't ready to work, maybe I was suppose to end up in mammography, like I have, and it was taking me a long time to figure that out.  Maybe it wasn't God's plan to make me go to college this long and I was just too dumb to catch on to his plan.  Maybe He had to change His plan for  me, because I never caught on to the original plan, which is very likely.  

Whatever the reason, I am very excitedly and proud to announce that I am finally graduating!

I know you all know this by now from all my obnoxious countdowns and posts, but it really hit today when I realized that this was the last day we would have to be at the school doing any type of schoolwork.  

So here's to those haters and long years in college! 

I finally did it!! Whoop!!

15 more days until actual graduation!!

& this is life as I know it...

Two-Cents Tuesday

I know I have failed blogging recently, but I....wellll

okay, I have no excuse.  But at least I gave it a great effort! :)

Trevor came this weekend and left me with an empty apartment.  Seriously.  There's hardly anything still here! Ah! So sad.  It's sad because I still have a few weeks left in this apartment and I don't like, as Trevor calls it, "roughin it".  I like to have everything I need and then some.  But it's also exciting because that means our long distance relationship is coming to an end.  Finally! Sheesh.  Aaaaand it also means graduation is getting closer! Whoop!

5 more days of clinic & 2 finals standing in my way of graduating!! 

Since I have finished all of my requirements for being able to take the exam to get certified in mammography and have finished all of my homework, I have a lot of free time in clinic.  So I decided to pick up a book and a Sudoku book yesterday.  Instead of playing Sudoku, I read today.  It's 168 pages long, and I'm already on page 100. -_- Glad that occupied my time for a while.... pff I'll be done with it by tomorrow.  I started reading Heaven is For Real.  It's been around for a while, but I had forgotten about it until I saw they were coming out with a movie.

MY COUSIN.... has been holding out her talent on all of us.  She sent me a text a while back when she saw that I was pinning numerous Save the Dates on Pinterest and said, "You know I can make your Save the Dates and invitations right?!" 

UH NO....!!!

So I then quickly asked if she could also make my graduation invitations!

Pff.. How cute are these?!  Free of service, printed them from Shutterfly, paying for shipping only... I think I got myself a deal! Good job Taelor! They look super cute! ;)

Back to my two-cents Tuesday...

Louisiana and I only have a few weeks left with each other and it hasn't been treating me right.  I am about to basically go back to Panhandle weather, when I move to Oklahoma.  Can I at least get some nice warm weather during my time left here in Shreveport! PLEASE!

So for my two-cents: Louisiana get your crap together! I need to soak up as much sun as possible before moving to windy, tornado alley, Oklahoma! Okay?! Thanks! ;)

& this is life as I know it...

Down with the Sickness

Well folks, it's here.

It has finally hit me and I've got it bad.  Good news is I just came down with it.  

I got a bad case of that senioritis.

I never thought I would get it in college, but here I am with it.  Diagnosed myself.  I was doing so good doing everything for my classes, even got ahead, which I've never done in my college career.

Career, that is such a valid word to use.  I realize a lot of people say college career, but in my case, I think it is too perfect for words.

It has been a LONG time coming, but I have exactly 8 more days of clinic.

Can I get a what whaaaaaaaat?!

Can I get an AMEN?!

I have one major project keeping me from graduating, but I am almost done with it.  And this is exactly why I diagnosed myself with Senioritis.  I am almost done with it and have no desire to finish it.  I LOVE the place I am at for clinic and even love mammography; however.... totally sick of going to clinic.  

Ugh real life is going to hit me hard. But for now I'll just worry about finishing my project and counting down the days of clinic!!!!!

& this is life as I know it...
