Graduation Day

Sunday afternoon, I walked across the stage and completed my December goal: I did the dang thing. Now, I am sitting in the airport terminal - I think I just set a new travel PR; from the time I stepped into O'hare Airport to the time I got cleared in security was approximately 9 minutes … Continue reading Graduation Day

Grad School Goals & Life Updates: November

The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting colder; autumn is most definitely upon us in Illinois. Somehow, the last twelve weeks have passed in the blink of an eye and there are a mere six weeks left until graduation...ready or not, post-grad life is approaching (p.s. I'm not ready).

Grad School Goals & Life Updates: March

Holy moly, it's already March! While January felt slow, February flew by in the blink of an eye.
