So Close

This week has been so tiring and stressful. I am very ready for Thanksgiving and the break. It was my last week at the school food service which made me happy. I had to travel to many different schools and had some frustrations with traveling far to schools and the information not even counting. Luckily one of the interns from a different school was with me so we made the best of it all and decided to get donuts her last day to treat ourselves. I got great reviews from the director at the school district which made me very happy.

I have been working a ton and think I might ask them to cut it down to 3 or 4 days instead of 5 a week. I am so tired and I got stuck with Friday and Saturday close shifts this weekend so I work until at least 12 midnight. Luckily tomorrow I get to work the lunch shift so I will be off by 4.

This morning we ran a Halloween 5K, Brittany my roommate and our friend Shana. It was so much fun and I knocked close to 3 minutes off my practice times. I think it was around 24:30 which I was pretty proud of. If there wasn't a big hill at the end I think I could have done it under 24 minutes. Once pictures and official results are up I will post them so everyone can see.

I'm really looking forward to a relaxing Sunday after work and for a Skype Halloween Dinner/Movie Date with Eric. It's really exciting that we are down to only 20 days until he visits. Compared to the 104 days/ 15 weeks we started with 20 days feels like nothing. I am already trying to plan so much stuff to fit in for those 5 days he's here.

On Monday I am to be starting my clinicals at Ben Taub Hospital. There may be a problem with all of my records being processed though. I think there was some miscommunication and I will have to go in on Monday and hopefully I can get everything processed fast and start the rotation this week. I am looking forward to the hospitals for a change of pace. I will be at this same hospital until January 20. It is all three of my clinical rotations. Thinking about that makes me realize how fast this is actually going. Texas has been teaching me a lot and I am very excited to get back to Illinois in May and start my career. It sounds so weird that this time next year I will be in the real world working.

I miss everyone so much and I am SO excited to be coming home soon. In less than a month I will be in Illinois and I am already planning so that I can see everyone while I am home.
