There have been a lot of changes happening in my life lately and I just wanted to update everyone. Finals are this week and this will conclude my semester. I have one semester left of coursework and I have decided to postpone graduation till Spring 2010. The reasons for this are that I have been given the opportunity to work on some research for the field of rehab and one of my goals is to get published before I apply for a PHD. So next semester I will finish my remaining four courses, work only part-time (still job hunting) and do research.
Also I was just nominated and accepted to be the head of the Recruitment Committee for my graduate program at California State University. I have been part of this committee for the last year and a half and now that the current head is graduating she nominated me to take over. I am a little overwelmed but I am excited to have this opportunity. I think I will learn a lot from it and that it will add to my marketability.
In church I received a new calling in the Relief Society Presidency...talk about feeling like a fish out of water...I have really grown to love and appreciate the ward that I am in and I feel like I owe a lot to them for the changes that have occured over the last 18 months. Looking back I would never expect to find myself here but alas I am enjoying every bit of it.
I am spending my holidays in CA and I am sad that I will miss my family and friends in UT. I have a lot to get done here and unfortunately UT still holds some things that I am not really prepared to deal with right now. I have some big plans though for delicious cooking adventures, trips to the mountains, New Years down south, and a whole stack of books taunting me as I resort to textbooks and flashcards for finals. Also I will miss the snow...
Oh yes and I created an additional blog that you can link two on my friends list titled "Gluten-free Grad"...I am trying to get hyped up about this new gluten-free concept...That is all. The end.

Gosh Maegan - I haven't read your blog in a long time. I am such a slacker! I can't believe how busy you are! I just thought I would say hi since I have been a bad friend and haven't done so. I also wanted to tell you that Jenni (McKellar)'s mom has Celiac disease and has a lot of recipe's for gluten free foods! She sometimes posts them on her blog if you care it is http://nanmckenchanted.blogspot.com/ I hope they don't mind me sharing that info. Also, did Shandis tell you that she is friends with my sister Nikki? Apparently they are in the same ward or something. Small world huh?! Anyway, I hope things are going great for you! I'll keep in touch better!
