It's been nearly a year since I posted to my blog, and frankly it was a long one. After the move to Las Vegas, I lost myself and lost my passion for life. I started graduate school last Fall, and frankly I think it was only because I wasn't sure what else I wanted to do with my life. After graduating from Slippery Rock University, I freaked and thought, 'Well, I can waste a little more time avoiding reality by going to graduate school,' but alas, that was a bad decision.
So after a grueling first year of graduate school, where I barely made a dent in my writing because I was more stressed than not, I decided to drop out of graduate school and attempt to find my passion in life again which means in less than a week I am headed back to Girl Scout Camp!
In the mean time, there were some fun parts of my past year that I get to update you on.
 |
My best friend got married last Fall!
|
 |
| Wrexx was adopted into the family! |
 |
| I tried my hand at being artistic. |
 |
| New Year's was a hoot back in Wisconsin. |
 |
| I learned how to change a tire in a -40 degree winter snow storm. |
 |
| At least it was pretty out. |
 |
| I spent time reminiscing the past while walking on the beach back in Wisconsin over the Winter. |
 |
| I saw the Jabbawockeez perform at the Luxor. |
 |
| Ashley came to visit! |
 |
| My friend, and considered my little sister forever, moved in. |
 |
| I played soccer for the first time in a while and made my team's only goal! |
 |
| And best of all, I found a new passion in crossfit that allowed me to kick my own butt into shape while silently competing with everyone else, and having the best support system ever at Crossfit Mountain's Edge in Las Vegas, NV. |
So it was a crazy year of new experiences and searching for passion in life. My parents also came to visit, as well as my best friend Katie from Pennsylvania. I got a bomb job at Mandalay Bay for a bit, but left so I can go to camp. My newest hope that I'll find myself at camp again and move forward in a career that I can always be passionate about. The search for adventure and life happenings is on!
Look forward to a way more exciting post at the end of the summer from my escapades at camp and in the northern part of the Tahoe forest near Sierra City, CA. It's going to be a swell time of leading young girls in their own summer adventures of canoeing, hiking, camping, and eating s'mores. And in my own time, I get to hike, rock climb, paddle board, and so much more while being inspired by the great outdoors to relax and write. I can't wait to get to know my new camp director, and she has high hopes for my future in the camp world as I do.
See you in August! Peace out, Girl Scout.
"Adventure is out there." Go find it!
The One and Only,
Carly K.
