This summer I am lucky enough to go to summer school. (Sense the sarcasm?) So much has happened in two weeks I just had to write about it. I'm just going to highlight the adventures that have occurred.
1. I started running. Honestly, I've never wanted to run, but it is quite relaxing, and I feel good afterwards and that's what counts right? Here are just a couple pictures of where I run and who I run with sometimes.
My goal is to run a 5k in November. I think I'll be able to do it! I am excited about running and getting fit. As most of you know it's something I have always struggled with but NOT anymore!
2. I did the cold water challenge. I was challenged to run and go completely underwater or I was supposed to pay $100 to my favorite charity. I decided to take the plunge into the waters of Cranberry Lake, while Stacy filmed me. It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. You can check out the video here. Here is an after photo.
3. Spending time with friends. As ya'll know, I am a social butterfly. I love being with people and sharing random experiences with friends, it's what I live for. I had the opportunity to spend time with my "adopted" sister, and watch a friend run a 5k.
There were obstacles in the run and this one looked fun!
Look at that determination! Go Paula!
4. I hit my two year anniversary at work!
5. Last thing, I have the need to tell all of you something. I didn't make it in the nursing program at Ferris for this coming year. My grades are high enough, there are just not enough seats for everyone. My heart was broken, but I believe God has a reason for it. I've come to terms with it and the next step is to finish respiratory strong, take my boards, then reapply for the nursing program for Fall 2015. Not what I wanted, but I'm not giving up on my dreams!
