What a week this has been! Here it is, the night before my last exam of my first year of medical school, and I am both terribly excited and incredibly emotionally unstable. Can this really be the end of the first year? Am I really 2/3 of the way through the pre-clinical curriculum? Am I really leaving for Greece in a mere 12 hours?! Insanity. Before I get too carried away, I should ground myself in the events of the past nine days or so:
UP! On Tuesday I celebrated my last day of class and Jeffrey's birthday (a week early) with dinner at T'afia and a show downtown. We went to see the
Theatre Under the Stars' production of Cabaret. The show was extremely well choreographed, expertly orchestrated, and entertaining. In a complete 180 from the first half of the show, the final few scenes were exceptionally grim and rather poignant. All in all, it was a very relaxing night- just what I needed.
UP! On Friday and Monday I tucked the two toughies of Infectious Disease and Neuroanatomy under my belt. I had a chance to catch up with my amazing sister Sarah before she left for her deployment yesterday. Wherever this classified mission takes her, she will be in my thoughts and prayers! Another communication connection over the weekend involved a call to my dear Grandma Thilo. I feel like I should say something cliched like, "What a lady- look who's 80!" Hackneyed expressions aside, it was nice catching up with her and hearing about her birthday celebrations. The picture above is a blast from Christmas past as we meticulously decorated sugar cookies.
AWAY! So here I go, away from Baylor and off to Greece for a couple weeks. I am not sure if I'll be able to blog until the 15th, so I'm just going to play it by ear. My bags are packed, I'm ready to go, I'm standing here outside your door... okay, I'm really just sitting in bed, but I am leaving on a jet plane very, very soon!! The picture above is of my latest piece of wall art: my diploma. It only took me over two years to get around to framing it. Hah- classic.
