MS2

so i realize i've been pretttty quiet on the blog front lately, but i've been a teensy bit busy! last week we had finals, and i finished out my first year of medical school! - so surreal. i feel like the year totally flew by! not that i'm complaining. life just goes by really fast when you are constantly counting down to an exam!

anyway, the year ended on a good note, and now i'm drowning in free time and not sure what to do with myself! it's so bizarre just sitting on the couch watching tv and surfing the web without feeling guilty! love.

this summer i'm staying in galveston to do research. we get elective credit that can buy us time off in 3rd and 4th year, plus research looks great on residency apps! yes, they are already freaking us out about applying for residency. no, i still have no idea what i want to do! i've got time, right?....

other summer plans include baking to my heart's content, volunteering at the free clinic, tutoring the incoming first years, going to the beach (so easy to forget i live half a mile away!), and playing with my friends! plus p90x. one of my guy friends recruited me to do it with him... wow, just wow. first day kicked my butt, primarily because it was about a bajillion pushups. today was the cardio workout: MUCH better! and it is so nice having a workout buddy - accountability and it makes you way less likely to crap out whenever you have someone yelling at you to keep going!

more posts to come! promise!
