A lot of pretty amazing things have happened in my life, in the last month or so.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Legal Studies with a minor in Religion from Hamline University. I got my Paralegal Certificate the day before that. It was exciting and unreal. I still can't believe that I am done with my undergraduate schooling.
The week before I graduated, I moved into my very own studio apartment in St. Paul. It is small, quiet, in a safe neighborhood and right by the bus stop! I have no roommates, have great neighbors that live above me and I also get a full bathroom to myself. That is worth the rent just alone.
The Monday after I graduated, I started my new job as a paralegal at a law firm in Downtown St. Paul. I love my new job. I have a great boss, it is a small and causal firm which is perfect for me. Surprisingly, the law isn't as boring as I thought it was going to be. We work with really stupid people everyday and it is increasingly entertaining. It is a perfect start to the great career I know I will have.
Last weekend I got my first car. It is old and used but works for now, until I can afford to get a newer one. It did drive me all the way to the cities from my hometown, which is good.
I will be getting a rescue kitten in a couple of weeks! She is adorable and I think I am going to name her Ivy!
My health hasn't been the greatest. But, for now, I am just trying to ignore the fear the lingers around some very specific worsening symptoms. Just hoping they don't get worse. I will be seeing my cardiologist in July, although not sure he will be able to do anything for these symptoms.
And I won't even mention that I got an iWatch the other day! WHOOPS! But how exciting is that? I pay monthly for it, and I will be able to pay it off by the end of July, with all the other bills I have.
It does feel great to have things finally looking up for me. It has been a long while. I have been waiting and waiting for me to crash and burn again, like I did my entire last year of college. But the medication does help. Still will never be completely healthy but better than having no health at all.
The best part about graduating and living on your own is that it is just you and only you. I don't have to worry about anything else. I just have to worry about me. I can do whatever I want. I can sleep, eat, read, write and do whatever I want, whenever I want. Especially, now that I have a car and am living on my own. It is great and I couldn't have been here without all the people that have supported me.
