Well, this is intimidating to even BEGIN to tell the story of our wonderful wedding weekend so I may be breaking this up over the next couple days while I have time on my primary care rotation. Yes, I am a newlywed living 184 miles away from my new husband - he is in Durham starting psych and I am in Williamsburg working at an outpatient family ( Read more... )

Oh my gosh, it's April 24th. I am sitting in the living room of the Ivy Suite with my mama as she sets her hair. What a wonderful night so far ( Read more... )

Ryan and I both NAILED our clinical skills practicum. HECK YES. We are now drinking cheap sweet riesling and getting ready for bed. The car is half packed up... at 3 p.m. tomorrow, we'll be leaving Durham bound for Orange, VA for our wedding weekend! SO SO SO SO SO excited. So relieved after this afternoon, elated for actually doing well, and now ( Read more... )

Oh lordy. I am so nervous for later on! Today at 4, I have my patient practicum which consists of one 10-minute physical exam and one 20-minute physical exam. This is SO, SO, SO nervewracking. We will be given a clinical scenario (i.e. belly pain, back pain, leg weakness) and have to perform a comprehensive physical exam specific to that complaint ( Read more... )

Last night I had a dream that I was late to my presentation and my powerpoint was all screwed up on the screen. I haven't practiced it all that much, but I think it's because I spent so much time writing the damn paper that I'm comfortable with the information. It's amazing how fast time goes when you're presenting. We get ~10 minutes to do it and ( Read more... )

Can you believe I'm getting married in less than a week? One week from now Ryan and I will be landing in Miami to begin our honeymoon. I am beyond excited. We bought these shirts online (like total dorks) that say "Just Married" and "Ignore us... we're on our honeymoon" and were both psyched to wear them.

AHHHHH! Now if we could just get through ( Read more... )

Meanwhile, they were TOTALLY dissing any form of coffee that is not french pressed. I am no coffee connoiseur, but I am definitely no coffee snob either. All I can say is this: my morning brewed cup of coffee is the ( Read more... )

Cameron Indoor Stadium was ELECTRIC tonight!! With 3.6 seconds on the clock and one chance for Butler to take it all.. then Zoubek got the ball, and it all ended there. We all stormed the court and celebrated like crazy!

It's GREAT to be a blue devil! GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 2010!!!!

This month is my research project month, so to speak, and so far it sucks. Sure, it's nice to sleep in but when I wake up I'm totally unmotivated and anxious about being so unmotivated. We have to take a topic and then do a meta-analysis on the literature done so far, so long as it has not undergone systematic review in the last 6 months. My first ( Read more... )
