Time is passing and I keep growing in ways I didn't think possible. This journal is for 2015 and all the wonderful gifts and challenges it brings. Events are happening - and I want to take moments out at least once a week to be thankful for what has happened.
Since last Sunday I studied 700 firecracker questions and reviewed two and a half USMLE lecture series for repro and rheum/derm. There were some USMLE practice questions and First Aid drugs mixed in. I kept up with lectures, attended a required lab and got a feeling of how the pace of this term will go.
Two nights this week I had the privilege of staying with the gorgeous Puerto Rican vet student. We laugh, kiss, dance, and share thoughts. It's excellent to connect with someone else in that capacity. She gets compliments whenever we are out. Last night we were having some fantastic drinks while we talked in Spanish (I mostly listened) about her frustration with a physiology course. The mood lightened eventually and we joked about everything.
Time is so precious. Friday I was able to enjoy a bit of it with Aaron, Louisa, and Dan while we got food and drinks at options. The chicken wraps on this island are my go-to choice to pick me up. After a little time there I worked out -- the gym has better machines! It's fantastic to hop on a smooth arc machine with a working touch screen and smooth strides.
Clarity is coming! I joined a facebook group recently about the clinical programs in Toledo. They raved about the program and several people said it was an excellent idea to go there. It will be nice to be near my sisters and to be able to enjoy catching up with some people around Ohio. There seems to be enough to do there that I will be able to stay busy. All the rotations except psychiatry are in one place.
Last week I got to salsa dance with a fun group of people. There was a good mix of students, friends, and locals. It was an hour of review for all of us, but mi chica was enjoying it a lot - so we got to practice more. We practiced on the rooftop of Bourne at night. Fireworks went off over Calivigny and we kissed.
Friday night was an excellent IFMSA dinner with the incoming board. The transition out of communications director will free up a lot more time to help with SCORA projects.
I am about to schedule the next two weeks so that focus and clarity can help me with the tasks ahead.
Things are well.
