So I think it's time for a quick update!! I can honestly say that school is definitely as hard as they say it's going to be!!! I feel like I am just barley getting by but I know it's totally worth it! As overwhelming as it is, most of it is really interesting! I was actually able to interview my first "standardized patient" last week. White coat and everything! haha I thought I was going to throw up I was so nervous but it actually was not all that bad. The hospital has a top floor where we actually have real examination rooms that have cameras set up so we can watch ourselves after. Pretty cool! Other than my boring life of studying ALL DAY, I signed up to run the Baltimore marathon so I've been spending a lot of time up on the treadmills so I can study as I run! I feel way to guilty just going out and enjoying a run without studying. Who would have ever thought the day would come. DC weather is starting to get amazing. It has finally cooled down and the humid is substantially lower. THANK GOODNESS! I really just love fall! It's probably my favorite time of the year. Well better get back to it! :)
