Ah, tomorrow is the day. THE DAY I GRADUATE from SCHOOL! I will never have to take another exam, practical, test, quiz, BOARDS EXAMS ...

Today is Thursday and I'm sitting in the 70 degree weather in the sunshine and reminiscing. I have been in school for 20 years! A little less than 8 years ago, I decided I was going to go to Chiropractic school and the thoughts running through my head were, "are you seriously going to go to school for eight more years? You're crazy! Don't you want to be done with school? You could just end after a bachelor's degree." But no, I pushed myself and made the decision and submitted my application less than 4 years ago and now here I am soon to be Dr. Julie Beal.

I've never been so proud of myself (I don't mean to sound pompus) because I've been through something that most people will never even get the chance to try to accomplish. So as I sit soaking in the rays and enjoying the moment ... it feels GOOD!
