Well, last week I missed classes because of my grandpa's cancer. He's had 3 surgeries on his colon, but they have had no chance to begin treating his liver. He is still going strong, but is recovering from surgery at the hospital and unable to walk. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!
I'm now back at school, and it's Peds week :) After shadowing the NICU over break, I'm excited for this week. We get to go to the NICU tomorrow and do a newborn exam. We don't have any material to actually study Peds (unless we buy Nelson's Essentials of Pediatrics and read almost 900 pages in 5 days)... so we have to rely on the few lectures we have. I'm reviewing Micro and Behavioral Science (Development) this week. We also have a Biostats exam next week, which I haven't yet begun to prepare for (oops). We have to take multiple online quizzes, but we have NO lectures; we just prepare with High Yield Biostats. It's probably time to start reading that...
We have to choose our top schedules for third year within the next couples of weeks. At our school, we can choose to go to Indianapolis, stay at the campus we are at, or choose another regional campus of the 8 that offers third year. I'm currently trying to go back to the regional campus that is close to my hometown and family. They just have to make sure they have enough open spots, so I should know within the next week or so. I'm praying they have room, but I know it will all turn out for the best!
Other than reviewing for Step 1, keeping up with family, and keeping faith, there's not much else going on at this moment. I do feel behind on studying and board prep, but hopefully with time I will get it more under control.
Sorry for no exciting stories this week! The Super Bowl IS Sunday, and I'm helping to host a get together and plan on baking red velvet and chocolate cupcakes to decorate for the 49ers and Ravens. I have to have some fun somehow, right? :)
