That Time I Didn't Blog

Last time I was here I was so (so!) fired up about life. I was going to tackle life! And blog about it! Wooo!

4 months later - oops - and nary a peep.

But don't think I didn't think about it. I did. I just was struggling with what to say. What to write. How to say it. Oh, and that school thing. That.

Then I had a light bulb moment. My blog should be about ME. Cue clouds parting, sunshine beaming down, and angels singing. This probably also counts as a "duh, you idiot" moment.

So. Here it goes.

I finished my first year of PA school two weeks ago, and since then I have kinda had a life. I went on a few trips. I made some new friends. I ate some good food and drank some good beer. I've hiked and swam and cooked and not slept as much as I should. I had some friends and family come visit. I crossed some things off my bucket list. Its been good.

And now second year is approaching with its own set of anxieties and challenges. I'm scared to death I'll kill a patient. I'm going to hate getting used to a new office every 5 weeks. I won't like being away from my little home. I'm nervous that I don't actually know a thing about medicine.

But I'm excited. And now that I have a life to tell you about - I'm going to start actually telling you about it. Which means you should be excited, too!
