Despite a few annoyances............I love my life......in fact, I no longer suffer from panic attacks, need the help of anti-depressants, and have finished therapy for anorexia,depression, and anxiety.
I involve myself with two area Theta alumnae chapters, an alumnae panhellenic, and have taken on the role of music and scholarship advisor for my chapter at EKU. I finished last semester for my second degree with a 4.0 and this summer's class is shaping up to continue the 4.0 streak. Tomorrow I begin observing surgeries with my Urologic surgeon buddy at the hospital. I've become a practicing catholic once again and am highly involved in two church groups, one of which i was appointed as the new leader as of yesterday.
My community service/philanthropic efforts are going well too. I still volunteer twice a week at the hospital, along with volunteering for(as well as helping raise money) fundraising events for the Lexington Humane Society, Multiple Sclerosis Society(MS Walk), the American Diabetes Association (Walk for Diabetes where I exceeded my goal of raising $100 and raised $150). I was recently asked to serve on the state CASA(Court Appointed Special Advocates) board as a Theta alumnae representative but have regretfully declined. In addition to these I also help with God's Pantry(feeds the poor in the area) and the Catholic Action Center (feeds, clothes, and minsters to the homeless in Lexington). This fall I'll be working with the Susan G. Komen Foundation's Race for the Cure, a CASA fundraiser, Toys for Tots Drive, and a silent auction fundraiser for the Humane Society.
I have also rediscovered old hobbies of reading educational books about my ancestry(Celts, Vikings, Danes, Angles, Saxons, Britons, and the Scots) as well as Celtic, Norse, and Egyptian mythology. I also have enjoyed reading nursing and medical journals/books. I've also been planning a canoeing trip, hiking trip, trips to wineries, the shakespeare festival, ballet in the park, and sporting events.
I'm single and I'm enjoying the single life...........not that i have time really for a relationship anyway
Yes...........I love my life
