>Hi everyone!!!! I’M ALIVEEEEEE!!!!!!! My life has been NUTS lately! I haven’t been this busy since undergrad when I was doing research, finishing finals, applying to grad school and tryyyying to have somewhat of a social life.
Here is a taste of what I’ve been up to…
Planning AND executing a Bachlorette party for my bestestest friend Brandy in Boston…
^haha, nice face!
Attending a 9hr/day (beginning at 8am) nursing technician course (4 weeks total):
^Our SUPER CREEPY dummy from class, Lol
For the PA programs I’m applying to, most require a minimum of 1,000 hours of direct patient care – which I DON’T have. I thought of getting a clinical research position (ex: administering MRI’s to study patients with brain trauma), which I could easily get from my research background but that really wouldn’t give me GOOD patient care experience. I think having a background (I’ll be a nursing tech until next May) in nursing care will make me a much better physician assistant down the road.
Attending Brandy’s wedding in GORGEOUS York, Maine:
^Rehearsal Dinner
Moving to a new apartment. Same neighborhood, upgraded the pad. And some SERIOUS UNPACKING TO DO:
And spending Memorial Day weekend with the fam in New Hampshire:
^hahaha…found this pic the other day and thought it was appropriate. It’s from a dance recital when me and my sister were 6 and 4 years old!
And now, what I’m LOOKING FORWARD to…
Eating BETTER! Being on the run has made me consume less of these:
^Salad monsters from Whole Foods
^Fruit/veggie smoothies
And (a little) less of these:
^But side note: SO GOOD! MickyD’s has a new Reese’s pieces McFlurry! Yeeee-UM!
And DEF more of these:
^REDIC sweaty workouts
And a little more R&R!!!
Alright kids, I have some studying to do. Have a great week!!!!! GLAD TO BE BACK 🙂
