Strength # 10: Lists

One thing I love to do is make lists. They help keep me focused and on track with what I am doing. I make lists of things that need to get done, goals for myself, and of course groceries, to name a few. Without them I would be lost. And one of my favorite things about lists is crossing things off of them... It is such a satisfying feeling! This past semester I have had some big things on my lists and finally I have been able to cross some things off and I am really close to crossing more huge things off. I mean some of these are life changing events so it is a pretty exciting time in my life right now!

So here are a few things I crossed of my list the past few weeks!

1. I competed at the Fittest team of the Metro East on a team with two beasts, Jen and Katie! We did awesome working together as a team and took first place! This was a much needed experience for me since I cant compete at the CrossFit Regionals event this year.

2. I finished my last two assignments for PT school ever!!!!! I cant even begin to explain to you how the past six years have led up to this moment!

studying for boards

3. I took my PT boards to see if I am officially competent enough to practice as a physical therapist... As if the past six years weren't enough proof. And no I don't know my results yet so please don't ask. The FSBPT decides to torture us for 10 days.

Some up and coming things I am about to check off my list...

1. I finish up my last clinical rotation this coming Thursday! I don't even know what to think about that... I am almost completely done with PT school! Yikes!

2. I get to move back to St. Louis on Thursday! One of my favorite places and hopefully settle down there for a little bit! I have truly enjoyed all the places I have been for my clinical rotations but I am ready to be in one place for awhile (so it's safe to say traveling PT isn't for me).

3. I graduate from Saint Louis University School of Physical Therapy in 10 days! 10 days and that is it! I know everyone always says the real world isn't as exciting as it seems but honestly I am ready. I have been in school for 6 years and I am ready to get out, make a little money, and not have to study every single night. I am ready to be on my own for a bit!

4. Graduating means I need to find a big girl job as a physical therapist! While this is scary it is also pretty exciting. I get to find a job that I love and work on getting people healthy again! I am stoked.

5. I have to start coming up with a plan for CrossFit and where I want to take my training. I know I have big goals and to accomplish those I have to be at the to of my game and it's going to take me a lot of effort to get there.

Wow. So these are all pretty big things that are coming u in my life. And while most of these items on my list are a little scary, I am ready to take them on head first. I am going to come up with an action plan and carry through on each and every one of them. It will be a interesting ride I am sure but I am so excited for it!

Two of the biggest lists I am making right now are my goals for CrossFit for the rest of the year and job advertisements (ok, so I haven't started the second one quite yet...). I am excited to see what the rest of 2015 has in store for me. I know there will be some big changes and it is going to be a hard year but I know everything will be worth it.

Here is to an exciting future!
