| I can finally breathe again (at least a little, lol) |
I can’t believe it has been
almost a month since my last real post! It’s not that I haven’t wanted to blog;
I just really haven’t had the time. Fortunately, I’ve finally caught a moment
where I can just relax and unwind, so I’m happy to be spending it reflecting
and typing out my thoughts from the past few weeks. A few of the experiences
deserve separate posts of their own, so I will be typing them out tonight, but
sharing them on different days this week.
As for right now, I feel
like I have been under a rock for at least the past week (apparently the Emmys
were on last night???), and I’m just trying to get back in touch with reality.
This morning, I took a major exam and less than an hour after that I was
introducing the 14th Surgeon General of the United States to my
school (more on that in a separate post). Yesterday, I not only attended a
dinner with the former Surgeon General, but I (along with my co-chair) held the
first conference call of the SNMA Osteopathic Schools Committee shortly
thereafter, and I still had to study for this morning’s exam in the midst of
everything else. Last weekend, I was at Duke University School of Medicine for
the SNMA National Leadership Institute / Board of Directors meeting (I will
post about this separately as well), and I flew back to Atlanta only to prepare
for an exam I had the very next day. I think a few days prior to flying out to North Carolina, I
performed my very first prostate and female GU exams on real patients, and in
between all of this, I have been in and out of meetings, studying, and
attending class. I’m also still taking care of my parents’ dog, and I even
managed to play the super mom role and host my daughter’s friend over for an
entire weekend not too long ago
.
So as you all can see, I
have been extremely busy!!!! I apologize for the delayed responses to e-mails, messages, etc., but nowadays it's so easy to get behind on things of that nature. I’m not sure if the workload of second year
medical school courses is just extremely intense or if I’m just way too
involved, but it feels like I have a lot less free time this year. I’m hoping
it is just this term though (we’re currently in Cardio-Pulmonary-Renal), and that
things will get smoother as the year progresses. I can’t wait to give more
details on all of my recent awesome ventures, so I hope you all will check back
in this week for the extra posts I have in store!
