Summer Ends

So again, I have so much to do and here I am jotting down a few thoughts. Probably because I realize I won't get to blog again until December! So I didn't get near as much done around the house as I had hoped during this "last summer ever." Steven & I are going to try to prioritize tasks and work slowly but surely on them as the days and weeks go by. We'll see how long that lasts! I have some stuff ready for tomorrow, but I am not totally to the realization that everything starts NOW. It has been an amazing summer.

I have had some great experiences in the ER this summer, gaining confidence and experience but also making me realize that I have a ton to learn. I will continue to worship Dr. Oakes, as her amazing ability as a physician is combined with the gift of being an outstanding educator. Not everyone can say that! I am going to head on in tomorrow with chocolate chip cookies for my classmates as we begin the great endeavor that is second year leading to STEP 1. Blech. I don't want to think of that now.

I attended retreat, had a great time, laughed so hard at the skits and films that were put together for the incoming class. They seem to be a great group of people. Well, I must attend to the long list of things to do before I rest. Good Luck, MS2s!
