check that off my life list

graduate college

"Hot nerds unite"

i am smart, and i am proud of it.
i was awarded with the 'outstanding student in forensic science' award as well as an award for a high GPA today at my criminal justice luncheon.
i seriously love having such a wealth of knowledge about forensic science.

seven days

is there a doctor around? my arms are swollen...haha

but seriously, i love working out.

this week the snow put a damper on my outdoor running or desire to do anything besides lay in bed under my covers.

i ran 17 miles and did 2.5 hours weights.

i graduate in 13 days. eeeks

career hunting

so, as you know, i'm graduating in 16 short days.

i've been applying for any CSI job that i am qualified for, all of which happen to be out of state.
ive received 3 rejection letters, and today got 'the phone call'

let me tell you about the call that changed my destiny

haha, but seriously.

florida called and said out of 150 i am 1 of 40 selected to test for the job; however, i have to take the test IN PERSON april 29.
flights from UT to FL are 600 dollars.
this is just to TEST for the job.
after the test if selected for the narrowed down pool i'd have to fly back for interviews etc.
i NEED/WANT a forensic job more than words can explain.
i love it, and im smart at it, and good at it.
however, i dont know if i can afford to fly to florida, rent a hotel, car etc.

i am so torn right now.
ahhhh

so, if any of you want to donate some "get randi to florida" money, feel free.

cancer kids

so, every day i read the blogs of a few cancer kids, all under the age of 5.
none of whom i know personally, i just follow their journey.
i started at the diagnoses day (first blog in archives) up to their current status.
a lot of them are getting their make-a-wish trips and i am so happy.

if you like reading blogs, i suggest these cancer kids (in favorite order):

workout journal week 2

this week i ran 20.25 miles and did 2.5 hours of weights.
depending on the weather tomorrow (sunday) i may go for an outdoor run.

i didnt quite reach my 6 miles every day, however i DID get six miles two days.
the other days i've been outdoor running which is way more killer than gym running, but i appreciate the nice weather so I'm taking full advantage of it.
