I'm a college graduate! I now have a Bachelor's degree in Health Science with an emphasis in Public Health. I finished my internship and my last class online so I went back to Rexburg to do the cap and gown thing. I'm glad I decided to "walk" and
do the whole hoop-lah. (BYU-Idaho President Kim B. Clark, left, and Elder Paul K. Sybrowsky, right)
The actual ceremony where you sit and listen is kind of a snore-fest but the little moment where they read "Robin Lesa Bell" was satisfying and my favorite was being there with all my classmates.
There was group of us that had a lot of classes together and became study-buddies over the last year of taking the upper division credits together. You get to know each other well when you see each other all day everyday - weird! It was fabulous to reunite and talk about how much we loved or hated certain classes, awesome & awkward professors, and the funny tidbits in-between.
Everyone asks, "So what's next?"
Here's my set in stone plan that will probably change because everything does: I'm registered to start a phlebotomy course, (the person who draws your blood, NOT lebotomy- the brain scrambling) Sept 2 in Clearfield so I will move in with my cousin Monica in Ogden(who came home from her mission yesterday! - finally!) while I get certified as a phlebotomist. Then I'll get a job wherever, maybe in Utah if I enjoy living there... Being a phlebotomist will give me good experience and add to the million hours of experience I need for PA school. (Physician's Assistant - NOT Parking Attendant) I plan to be loaded so you'll want to stay friends with me. I like to party.
