Mini Hand Desanitizers!

Sometimes I really love what I do. There are a lot of bad days - when I get stressed thinking about school and the future - but there are so many fun things to do in the future.

Yesterday I met with my future research mentor - I left the meeting feeling really positive. I think this project is going to be perfect. We need to organize all the data, and then analyze it. I can do this without much supervision, so for the first month I should be able to make my own hours. Hopefully by the time I'm done this, I'll be familiar enough with the department and work to do some meaningful analysis. She said if I do a molecular component, we should be able to publish it. Even without the molecular part, I should have enough to finish my Scholarly Project. I met a bunch of the staff - nurses and research coordinators - and I think it went well. I think this can be a long term relationship, so hopefully I can stay there for the next three years.

I still feel bad about quitting babysitting - but I'm excited about this project. Besides, I am here to learn - not babysit.

Less than twenty-four hours until my second block of medical school is over. Only two more basic science blocks to go. Huzzah!
