Famous Last Words: Week 14

I hope we are all getting back from Thanksgiving break a few pounds richer, so I won’t feel so bad. Also, I hope everyone is coming back feeling refreshed. I think that this break is very pivotal during a fall semester. The weather is changing and it’s a weird transition to make, so a little break helps to get ready for finals. I did quite a bit of studying over the break, however, I did not let it get in the way of spending plenty of time with my family. In addition, I completed quite a bit of extra credit for this course, which I always enjoy doing. At my parents’ house back in Tulsa, I tucked myself away in my favorite place to do writing, watched the leaves fall (maybe stole a slice of pie!) and began working on my writing. With all the time spent writing and spending time with family, I hardly had time to even think about my medical school interview in San Francisco, but I did visit for a day and a half prior to the break starting and it went well. In fact, I even got another invitation to Rosalind Franklin in Chicago on Wednesday. This came as a wild surprise. I initially only applied for the sake of casting a large net but I am willing to give Chicago a chance, even though I have never been! Moreover, at this point in the semester I and in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I have become very thankful for the skills that I have acquired from this course. In fact, my best friend who lives back and Tulsa and I have begun our own blog. Of course, this is something that I would have never had the skills to do before. But, I have really added a lot of technical abilities to my repertoire thanks to this course.
