flexing muscles

As my cohort mate says...'We did a thing!'

When people ask me how the last three months were, in an odd sense of accomplishment, it has been such a long time that I have actually used my brain that it felt absolutely amazing! Astrophysicist, epidemiologist, artist (stone skipping (part 9))...we are so different yet we all shared a common goal to pivot our lives and make magic happen.

My friends who attended graduation today often commented that they are still surprised that I ended up attending an all-women bootcamp. While I like to joke that it was a good thing to not be distracted from all the young male testosterone, I am blessed to have acquired a new family that will always support me the rest of my life.

Ironically, I learned early in life to weed out 'catty' women (reclaiming the cunt (part 5)), which at the time turned out to be a good percentage of those that orbited my life, or perhaps, they weeded themselves out. Life seems to balance itself out.

We have been spending the last few weeks practicing 'whiteboarding' for our technical interviews for our upcoming job search. While a few have some idea of what they would like to do and/or where they would like to work, we all have a clean slate to use colors, medium or style of our choice.

Be fierce! Be authentic! Congratulations to 'Fearless Girl(s)' ready to take the bull by its horns!
