Life






My graduation pictures were taken here (the first picture)

I turn 20 in March. I can put my papers in for a mission in December. Fall semester may or may not mark my third year of college. Depending on my mission, I may or may not graduate in 2011. If I do serve, I will not graduate until 2012 in the Fall or something. I want to get my Master's degree sometime between 2013 and 2014 in English or Psychology. I want to get my Ph.D or Psy.D. a year later. I want to live within twenty minutes of my brothers Matthew and Jay; at some point a choice might need to be made for this decision.

Soooo... We have six or so weeks left of this semester and I am excited to be done. My schedule has been nuts this semester. Sometimes, looking back, I wonder how I do it. But then, a small voice tells me. I didn't do it. He did.

I'm trying to decide whether to return in the Fall. I will be working over the summer in Moab, Utah at a beautiful place that averages 110 degrees every day. Red Cliffs Lodge is a wonderful, very expensive, hotel. "Housekeeping!" But they pay well and I will be living with my grandparents who everyone is wondering how long they have left...

From Omaha, NE

The idea for this blog post comes from a blog I occasionally read called The Freckled Fox . She calls these posts "Taking Stock": Seeing:  all the dogs sleeping, a nephew playing, ceiling fans turning, grey clouds. Making:  an effort to not disappear into the bedroom I'm staying at while in Nebraska with family (kids'll do that to me) Cooking:  nothing. Since I'm visiting family in Omaha, I haven't done much cooking. But while here I have made my absolute favorite PB cookies which are easy and delicious Drinking:  sooooo much water - still not enough Reading:  a guide for everything you need to know about medical school and Pushkin's Eugene Onegin Hearing:  the pot on the stove cooking the bottles which contain my SIL Nicole's homemade spaghetti sauce Wanting:  the next year to speed by - I am tired of fretting about med school applications and would like the whole thing finished - please? Looking:  forward to visiting the zoo to...

getting to and through YEAR ONE

Hello? Oh, Hello there! I am excited to talk more about my summer as I enjoy the last few days before I dive into studying hard. It is almost the beginning of the second year of medical school. Last year was one of the hardest years of my life. I experienced more pain, suffering, doubt, tears, and heartache than I have ever before in such large doses. I staggered under the weight of my fears and found myself often on my knees with no where else to turn. It was a beautiful place to find myself. Of course it is easy to say that now, looking back as I stand proud. There was a lot that went into my decision to go to medical school. Ultimately it took a lot of prayer and a lot of planning. It took a lot of service hours, a lot of hard work in my undergrad, a lot of conversations with my mother. It was a grueling process which no one can understand until you've been through it. I often doubted I was making the right choice. As I was preparing for the MCAT, which is the entr...
