El mejor dia de me vida!

Those of you following me here may or may not know that I've graduated!  As of May 6th 2012 you may call me Denver Lancaster, Doctor of Physical Therapy.  Licensure exam scheduled for July 31st.  

 I thought about taking this time to reflect on 33 months of balls-out academic struggle and tom foolery.  Instead, I think I might just close the book on this one, and show off some fun pictures.

 

There was a party after graduation at Red Rocks!  It didn't hit me until I was leaving...  I spent more than a full time job's worth of hours every single week for 33 months with all of my classmates.  Got to know families, significant others.  Made a lot of friends.  Wasn't thinking, right at that moment, that I will never  be in the same place with all of them again.  Bitter-sweet. :)  Maybe it still hasn't hit me.  It was a good send off!  Parents got to meet friends, faculty.  I ate myself sick.

Carmen came, as well, and we posed for some photos.  Red Rocks is an amazing place.  I will have to make a point of going down there more frequently after I start working and making money.

I'd like to send out a great big generic thank you to everyone who helped me through this - especially family, and good friends (new and old), the counseling center, and modern pharmaceuticals. Thank you.

Beardface

I grew out my facial hair for 2 and a half months and then decided to style a new beard for every day of finals. Survived finals one day one beard at a time. For your viewing pleasure:

Shaking like a Rockstar

It's been 9 days since my last sip of a caffeinated drink. Prior to that (see my previous post) I was drinking a lot of coffee. Lots. Too much. I know that because my headache went away.

Today I was walking through Denver International Airport. My flight from Denver to SF was delayed an hour, which would have put me in a major crunch to get on my flight to Medford, OR. The airline gods are on my side today. 1 seat available on a direct flight to Medford? Check. After a satisfy interaction with the airplane guy behind the desk, I got to march a mile to the new gate. On my journey I stumbled across a ROCKSTAR energy drink.

It's hard to describe exactly how I felt about seeing this. I do not need energy to fly. In fact, I would rather drink a beer or two (or 6) and get on the plane and sleep for a couple hours. I'm not a particularly nervous flyer, but sometimes if I act that way I can get extra booze for free on the airplanes. Something different about today. The rockstar. I don't need any caffeine. I don't need energy, awareness, increase HR, shakes, or the diuretic effect of caffeine prior to boarding my flight.

It's calling my name. I bought it. Drank it. Now I'm sitting at my gate waiting (and now shaking). The feeling I got when I saw the drink (I'm bad at telling stories) was happiness. I know exactly what the physiological response to this drink is supposed to be. I know that I'm going to shake, and eventually crash. But all I can think, looking at the rockstar, is that drinking it is going to make me happy. Satisified? Thirst Quenched? Energetic? NAY. Looking at the Rockstar made me feel fucking euphoric.

Anyone know where I can score some cocaine?

I am...

...completely unsatisfied with the things I am doing with my life right now. Time for a change.

Stay tuned.

I am Denver.

I'm a Broncos Fan. I am 23 years old. I am a student, barely. I also work full time to pay for food and my Cadillac. I'm thinking about going to graduate school for Physical Therapy. Dr. Denver has a nice ring to it... I keep good company. I have a handful of friends I consider good company and a smaller group I call "good people" on an individual basis. It might not make sense until you hear me say it. I feel like I have 4 oversimplified goals in life right now. 1) Become Dr. Denver. 2) Keep my Car Running. 3) Maintain my good relationships. 4) Become Dr. Denver - Ultimate Fighter.
