It's been months since I've taken time to write and while I've missed having time to sit back and relax, my complete absence speaks to the insanely long and exciting weeks which have been almost completely filled with all things medicine. And right now I can't honestly say that I feel a little bit guilty for taking time away from my Step 2 study time to write, but in the midst of all the "to-do's" and deadlines, I had to take a step back. To bring things somewhat up to speed, I'm starting my final week of emergency medicine which is simultaneously my final week of third year (cue confetti tossing). Even more importantly, Spencer is graduating from PT school THIS WEEKEND. I still can't wrap my head around that. He has a job that he'll be able to start working part-time while studying for his board exam and transition to full-time after he gets his license. I couldn't be more proud of all the hard work he's put in to get to this point. So some very exciting things are coming up in the next few weeks, and I've been carefully managing my time to keep on top of it all. But with so many big things ahead, it can be easy to get caught up in the day-to-day challenges. That's how my morning started - feeling a little overwhelmed with my to-do list and hoping that I'd be able to get through each thing I had planned for the day. That's when I decided to call my dad up (because what dad doesn't want to have a serious heart-to-heart before 8 AM?). An hour and a half later I hung up the phone feeling so much better and I realized that no matter how many things I have to worry about, I have just as many if not more to be excited and thankful for. Its a busy stretch ahead, but it's also time I want to savor and celebrate.
