It’s early evening here in Scoita on a Mid-May Saturday
night. It’s a beautiful evening,
as I sit on the front porch and hear the birds chirping, dogs barking in the
far background and the sound of the cars whizzing by. I love the cool evening air, the sun is setting behind the
trees. I thought about turning on
the radio to listen to some music, but I rather listen to nature’s music
instead. It’s so peaceful.
I’ve spent the majority of the day sick on the couch. I really hate being sick. I’ve felt it coming on days in advance,
with my sinuses aching and the sore throat yesterday. What a way to spend one of the first most beautiful weekends
in a long time. I had nothing
planned for the day, no golf tournaments to work, no graduation ceremony to attend. And I had to get this darn cold.
On Mother’s Day May 13, 2012 I received my Masters of Science
in Occupational Therapy. It is so surreal;
I still can’t believe it’s finally over.
All the long hard work, it’s been a very long road and I have to say it’s
bittersweet. I can’t believe, that
I will not be spending the weekends in Utica anymore. I am both excited and sad at the same time. Utica has become my second home and I
will surely miss it. I’ve made
some great friends and bonds with some wonderful people.
I still have one week left of my Pediatric Clinical and then
I will have 12 weeks of my adult clinical to finish. I will officially complete the program on August 24,
2012. Just a long or short 13
weeks away. It all depends on how
one looks at it. Then it
will be the grueling task of studying for the National Exam. I plan to take it in October or November. I don’t want to wait too long, so that I
don’t forget the material. I am
dreading it though, I hate taking tests.
I am not a good test taker at all.
I think the anxiety and stress of it all makes me forget what I am
doing.
Until then, I am just going to enjoy having part of my life
back.!!!
