Happy Spring!

One day late but… it’s officially Spring!!  I don’t know about y’all, but I’m so over winter, cold weather, rain, etc. etc.   Spring is my birthday season, the time to bust out bright clothes, and start doing more outdoor activities.  Sometimes it stinks being cooped up inside a classroom all day, so it was really nice to sit outside yesterday & study in this gorgeous weather.  My spring semester is almost over and one month from today I’ll actually be starting my summer/3rd semester.  Crazy how time flies!

Speaking of studying outside, I snapped this funny pic yesterday while Sarah & I were soaking up some Vitamin D.  That would also be my bear Kittles who is sporting the shades.  I see lots of outdoor studying in our future…

I was lucky enough to get a visit from Logan this week and finally got to introduce her to the roomies and show her my cute little house.  She is known as the “cupcake queen” to all of my friends and of course she came bearing gifts from one of our favorites in Charlotte, Polka Dot Bake Shop.  You’re the best Log!

School has definitely been keeping me busy lately.  Between studying, challenge bowl meetings, and planning a mixer for all the health programs, a girl can be left with little free time- but I guess that’s just a part of PA school.  Honestly, I feel like I have gotten way better with time management this past year and am truly amazed at how much we learn in the amount of time that we learn it.  We just had an exam this morning and finished up our neurology unit (which I really liked!).  Now we’re moving on to ENT (ears, nose, throat).  Yesterday was all about the ears, and we even got to watch this lovely video of someone pulling out a [live] bug out of someone’s ear.  (Sorry for the visual guys…  Don’t forget to clean our your ears!)

Pretty excited about my new toy!  Everyone in our class got an iPad mini and we will be using these on clinical rotations starting in the fall (good to know tuition is going to something fun).  We’ll be keeping track of different cases that we see & different procedures we do.  But until then it will be used for fun stuff!   It’s really nice to be able to study/stalk Pinterest without holding a computer on my lap.  Yay for technology 🙂
