You didn't think I would leave you did you?!?!

Admit it, you had your doubts.

So where I have I been? EVERYWHERE.

The update in real duckie-style would take about 5 pages and I know you love me and all that but would you really wanna read all that? Me niether. So here's a quickie recap of my whereabouts.

I finished finals and passed my practice board exam which meant I was able to take 2 weeks off to relax and prepare for my clinical year.

During that time I slept every night for about 14 hours, ate breakfast at around 2pm and napped from about 6pm to 8pm each night. Basically my body insisted I make up all the sleep I missed this past year in a week's time.

At the end of the break my classmates and I were flown for free to the National PA Conference in orlando, FL for 4 days. It was full of interesting lectures, lots of tanning and swimming and one AWESOME trip to SeaWorld. I actually fed and touched a dolphin. Who woulda thought? That silly picture is from the Student Challenge Bowl at the conference. Our team didn't win or anything, but we made the front page of the bulletin for our sweet victory pyramid. I was smooshed in the middle tier haha.

This week marked the start of one crazy clinical year. I began my family practice rotation at Esperanza Health Clinic here in Philly. It's like working in a foreign country for 9 hours each day. I began seeing my very own patients on the second day and have been fumbling through speaking Spanish to each of the patients. It's incredibly challenging but definitely fun. I'll of course dedicate many a blog in the upcoming year to the crazy patients I see and the even crazier things I'll do to them.

So that's it for now. I apologize for being away for so long. My life got even nuttier over the past month so it just wasn't possible to keep up with one more thing. I will not be able to visit as many people's blogs as quickly as I used to but I will give it my best in between my residency, studying, and writing papers.

I missed you all VERY much. I hope I'm forgiven, haha.

love and silliness,
Ali
