Friends and Accomplishments

Fern turned out to be a GREAT vacation as always - a fun and relaxing time with family and forever friends. It went by WAY TOO FAST though :(

Since returning from Fern I've been spending a lot of time working towards my future as a clinical pathology resident - I have been going to the Journal Club Meetings at MSU every other Tuesday and if I have neat slides to bring with me to look at with Dr. Stickle we do that too :) I really enjoy going and when I'm there I feel so happy and like I really fit in. This will be such a GREAT future for me and I can't wait to dive right into it. I hope that time comes sooner than later.

Recently Sue, Steve and I passed our Taekwondo test and earned our yellow stripes! So now we are working really hard for the next 3 months so we can earn our yellow belt in October. I am really enjoying Taekwondo even more than I thought I would, and I am definitely going to stick with it long-term. Sue and I have been practicing almost every day during our lunch hour at work, and its a blast. Despite all I have been through in Midland and at the clinic, I am SO thankful for her friendship - I couldn't ask for a better mentor and friend. No matter where life takes me after Midland, I know we will be friends always :)

I'm REALLY excited because Wes is coming to Michigan this week!!! Steve and I are going to spend all day Tuesday with him and we'll see him again next weekend. We miss him so much when he is in Oregon and are really looking forward to spending time with him :)

Well I'm off to get some more reading done - lots of Clin Path books I want to get through before I start a residency!
