Week 3 and Maggie

On to the third week! A few changes in my life. I got a dog and a couch! So excited. Maggie is a rat terrier who I adopted from the Animal Rescue. She is 8 years old and quite a cutie! She's sleeping on the couch right now:-) We've been having fun bonding on Labor Day weekend. She will be joining me tomorrow for my morning power walk. Hopefully she is up to the task.
I love second year! So much better than first! Poppy (aka Dr. Goljan) is as good as everyone says. No wonder he is a world-famous pathologist who's written the book (literally) on it all. SO amazing!
Okay, back to studying...that's the update for now.

My Summer

School starts tomorrow! I don't think I'll ever be ready. I've had fun this summer. I started off the summer by going camping with my sister in Michigan. We looked for mushrooms (so fun!). I then headed back down to Green Country to spend 3 weeks in rural OK working with a family practice physician. That was really amazing and I learned alot about what to do (and not do, haha). Then I had a week of early clinical experience at OSU Medical Center. I really liked Radiology and Anesthesiology. Hmmm...tucking that little fact away for later. After that week, I traveled to Toledo, OH to work with another family practice physician who is also the associate dean for the CORE site at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center. That was too cool. I really loved that hospital and the people there. Hmmm...another fun little morsel to consider when thinking about rotations and residencies. After OH, I went back to OK were I caught a flight out to LA and then on the my Asian travel adventure (please refer to FB for photos, as there are far too many and I'm too lazy to post them). Okay, I'm going to go study now. Peace out. Love you all
