I realized I haven’t blogged in a long time!!  It’s the week before our 2 week winter break.  Motivation is hard to find this time of year. I mostly have the urge to eat and shop.  Since I last blogged we got our rotation spots and I’m going to Phoenix, which I’m very excited about because it’s somewhere I’ve never lived. I’ve been in the Midwest for a long time so it will be nice to go somewhere new.

One thing I’ve realized is that I know nothing about what is happening politically related to medicine and I wish that wasn’t the case so over break hopefully I do some reading about that. Not that I like to comment or debate it but I think it is important to be aware (which I’m not!)

Oh and KCOM Prom was last weekend which was super fun so maybe I’ll put up pics when I get some.

This week we had 2 exams and Infectious Disease case presentations. It was very busy and I spent a lot of time at the library. I am so excited for the weekend even though we have another exam Monday.  It does feel good to at least be done with a few tests though.

Last weekend was the Red Barn Craft Festival in downtown Kirksville.  There was amazing art, food, and jewelry from surrounding areas.  I really like having fun things to do even when school is really busy because I just need to get distracted to stay sane.  I will not be studying at all today because I really need a day off after this week.  I did get my Halloween costume together though so that was an achievement.
