so guess what we’re studying in lecture now?
you guessed it. pediatrics. i know i know. that was quite a stretch. You would have guessed veterinary medicine or something like that. Honestly, I couldn’t find a picture that had anything to do with anything but I thought this one was quite cute. anyways, I apologize that it’s been so long since my last post, but i’ve been pretty busy lately. with the semester ending comes projects, exams, presentations etc. not to mention meeting up with people that you know you won’t see in a very long time.
I just finished an exam tonight and it’s beautiful out. I would love to go for a walk with you and enjoy the weather together but it seems that I am here, inside my apartment and you are there (wherever that may be) and that is just inconvenient.
As the title of this post says- moving forward. My stay here at the university has been way too long (though not too long considering my program). I am finally comfortable here and it finally started to feel like home…but from what I’ve experienced in my twenty-some years, that means it’s just about time to leave and move on. it’s time for moving on and for growing up.
Next year has so much in store. Clerkship rotation sites all over the place. Chicago, Indianapolis, several other unmentionable places (trust me on this one), and Kenya. Wait… Kenya as in Africa?? Yes. That is indeed what I said. For a peek into the program, click on this article:
In the article it talks about the program I will be working with. It sounds pretty amazing, seeing as how it’s nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. I am looking forward to it.
If you enjoyed that link, you may also enjoy this one:
This one goes to a link of handmade Kenyan crafts that are made by HIV patients that were treated by the hospital and got better. Since many of the HIV patients are abandoned by their families, this is a new way for them to make a living. so, feel free to click and take a look around at the things that they make. then, let me know if you’d like something. 
it’ll be a while until I go, so take your time.
Anyways, that’s about it for now. leave a comment and say hello if you’d like!
