Wow,
I can barely believe the weekend is almost over. I have spent the
majority of the weekend studying as I have several projects/exams all at once.
I had my molecular exam on Wednesday, I have microbiology exam on Monday,
a formal lab report due that night, and a physiology exam on Tuesday. Then, my capstone project is due the next
week- whew. At least once all of these
things pass, I’ll get to take a breath and slow down for a little bit. However, this huge series of exams has
definitely shown me how I need to stay on top of things better. However, on Friday evening I got to meet my
mentor for Leadership Scholars which was very nice (and a break from studying).
She's an orthopedic PA and I want to be a PA so that's why we got paired
together. There was a big reception with appetizers and drinks, and it
was neat to see so many well-accomplished people who attended OU (even some who
hadn't) who all want to give back and mentor us. I remember last year at
this time, we had a formal dinner and I sat next to a judge and his wife, and
he told me about some of the cases he had which were pretty interesting.
Anyways, I studied Saturday and watched the game as I studied (BOOMER
SOONER)- you probably guess it. Today, I went to Panera and now I'm back
at my boyfriend's apartment and more studying. I know, I'm boring, but
just for this weekend. Next weekend I get to go home, though, so I'm very
excited for that! I leave on Friday and one of the other RAs is going to
watch over my floor in case something crazy happens so I don’t have to worry
about that while I’m gone. Also, while I’m
there, not only will I get to see my family, but I will get to see my puppy and
I'm so excited!

Hey Taylor, so I noticed you had a very busy and stressful week when you wrote this! I hope you got the downtime you were hoping for. I know what that is like to have a lot due at once and you can't seem to get any free time. All your class work really is horrifying to even read about just cause I know nothing about that field lol but it seems like you know what to study and you have an idea about how to manage this. Your reception thing is really cool I bet it's a real confidence booster when talking to people about where you are going and what they did as well. Here's to more downtime these last few weeks of the semester and to graduating!
