famous last words: home sweet home!

After a hectic week of exams, I was able to take a breather (kinda) and drive home to Houston. I got to leave on Thursday after my last exam of the week which was nice since it's never fun to drive seven and a half hours home on a Friday only to turn around and do it again on Sunday. That extra day makes a huge difference! 

As usual, when I got home, I was greeted at the door with an immeasurable amount of canine kisses that immediately put me at ease. There's just something about dogs that truly makes me forget about every stress in the world. It's amazing!

The actual reasoning for my visit to come home was the fact the Texas Woman's University was hosting an open house for both their graduate and undergraduate programs. My dream is to attend their Doctor of Physical Therapy program in the fall of 2018.

With my goal being to turn in my PT application by Monday, September 25th, I think this was a great decision. Once I got there, we got lots of important information and I have the opportunity to ask a few last minute questions that I wanted to clear up before submitting my application. The faculty, staff, and students were all so helpful and I couldn't be more excited to see what happens in the upcoming months!

On top of the open house, being home came with yummy, home-cooked meals, staying in my pajamas all day, and having my mom around to read over my final tweaks in my application essays. Although I know returning home after graduating is not going to be the most exciting thing for me, times like this really make me appreciate it all.

I love my family and am thankful they always know how to help me relax when the college life does what it does best!
