Fork and Cork

Finish Line at NEMO

This weekend was particularly eventful. Yesterday I went to the Fork and Cork festival in Macon, MO (30 minute drive from Kirksville.) There was delicious food, crafts, and wine from West Winery.  The winery opened up a new location in downtown Macon, which is in a very modern loft-like space. OH yeah and their wine is amazing.

Last night was the Disco Skate Party at Leisure world. YES WE WORE 70S OUTFITS AND SKATED ON ROLLER SKATES! It was a blast!

Today was the NEMO triathalon at Thousand Hills State Park.

0.75 mile swim 18 mile bike 5 mile run

I did NOT participate, but it was a lot of fun to watch classmates and professors partake in this impressive athletic event. I was part of the stretch clinic and we helped stretch out athletes after the race. It was a great way to practice some OMM. It’s also great to see that people still have time do fun things like this while in medical school or are practicing physicians.

Conclusion of the weekend: it is crucial to have fun while in medical school because you can’t let the world pass you by while you bury your nose in books.
