One Year Down!!

First year of PA school is officially over!

“I’m glad I did it, partly because it was worth it, but mostly because I shall never have to do it again” And this is exactly how i feel.

It was a rough year but I made it sane alive. Now it’s 3 weeks of orientation and on to clinical year to start seeing some real patients. The thought makes me excited but extremely nauseous and overwhelmed.

So far I’m just enjoying what’s left of my vacation which is about 2 days since I start back up on Monday womp womp

At least my vacation was a nice one. I went to Key West with the boyfriend and met up with some friends  for drinks and noms.

The fabulous view from the hotel pool, Belgium waffle from Doc’s Diner, and a delicious slushy from Fat Tuesday’s

Fried conch, rum runner, The Champ, and us having a great time

Conch Fritters. Yumm

Sad to come back to reality especially knowing how far away my next break is but it’ll all be over soon

**Where was your last vacation?

Mini Vacation

Finally taking a little breather after countless weeks of nonstop studying in my cave room and a few mini mental breakdowns along the way. Needless to say, I survived my second semester in one piece and there’s only one more semester keeping me from interacting with real patients in the REAL world. No amount of book reading can ever prepare you for what you’ll see in the hospitals and clinics, so to say I’m a teensy bit nervous is to be putting it  mildy. I’m already having slight panic attacks from time to time. 

Unfortunately there’s only one week of vacation before starting Summer semester which is shorter (yay) but that also means more work, exams, and less of a life. So far I’ve learned how to intubate a patient model, take out blood, suture, do a pap smear, and perform a prostate exam. The last two were on real professional patients, trust me it’s not as bad as it sounds lol

Ok so enough with school and on to the eats! 

My delish waffle breakki with chopped nanners drizzled with syrup 

These are some other eats from the past few months

Can never get enough sushi

Margarita heaven!!

 Beautiful sunset watching with the boyfriend

And of course another drink or should I say bucket 

And my night topper…

Snickers ice cream with a vanilla cookie half eaten cookie 

So how was everyone’s Cinco de Mayo? I went to Cancun Grill and danced my butt off with my friends 

What a Long Break

Worst blogger award goes to me   Since my last post, school has completely taken over my life and I really have had no time to do anything else. Luckily Spring Break starts on Monday so my brain is already on relaxation and fun mode. Other than school I really have not been up to much. Studying, doing physicals, and taking histories have been my life but I knew what I was signing up for 

Today we had kids to play with and do physicals on. They are definitely a handful!! I’m just trying to take everything in day by day and not get so completely overwhelmed even though it’s definitely easier said than done.

Breakfast for today!

Oats mixed in with almond butter, yogurt, 1/2 banana, Honey Bunches of Oats cereal with Strawberries and almond milk! The swirly thing on top is sugar free maple syrup 

These are some recent pictures from my birthday which was a few weeks ago.

The big 2-3! 

 Frankie and Me 

And of course we have the noms

Dragon Roll!! It was AMAZING

One can never get enough sushi 

My wonderful friends from PA school made me monkey bread cupcakes!!!

It was definitely more delicious than any cake I could have eaten. My friends know me too well

Well that’s pretty much it! I’ll be sure to post here and then since I have plenty of free time now. 

• When is your spring break?! What are you planning on doing?   Sun and rest are definitely involved in mine!!
