Freedom is not free.

Welp... here we are. The real world has hit with a sold blow and life has decided to throw me off another cliff and right into the next chapter of my life. With my recent graduation from Seattle University College of Nursing and my ever pending national board exam looming in the future I find myself stuck in this limbo stage between school and the "real world" (whatever that may be). Through it all I am actually beginning to figure out where I stand in this big city of Seattle and am loving it more and more every day; well... except after the eighth day of clouds in the middle of July. I am excited, terrified, motivated, terrified, anxious, and... oh yes TERRIFIED for the next year of my life. But I find that if you keep putting one foot in front of the other you always come out on the other side a better and stronger person; so bring it on life... lets see what you can throw at me!
