Where to begin

Well, I'm almost done with graduate school. So, what did I do? Why did I do it? Ah, I guess we all ask these questions from time to time...but I am glad I was able to do it and having breast cancer in the middle of the show didn't stop me.

That was the main reason I pushed to finish when I did. I didn't want there to be any change in my life plans just because I happened to be diagnosed with breast cancer. I did my stuff, mastectomy, chemo, meds...now back to my life.

Cancer is a pretty time consuming proposition. When you're done treating it you're never done running from it. Sometimes I get scared and think I won't run fast enought. That is why I go to the gym and practice. I practice running, biking, elliptical stepping, weight lifting - anything associated with health. That is the new definition I want for my life - healthy!

Anyway, it's pretty cool to join the ranks of the over educated. I look forward to taking more classes and increasing my education further.
