 Saturday round with Chris and Kristin

White Coat Ceremony

Today was my official Physician Assistant White Coat Ceremony and we had our families and friends come help us celebrate the completion of our didactic year. There were speeches, slideshows, and presentation of gifts to our faculty; we were then "coated" and lead in the oath of the Physician Assistant. It was a really nice ceremony and a nice send off to our year of clinicals starting in August. Mom, Dad and Michael joined me for my special day and then we all went out for dinner afterwards, so a big thanks to them for helping me celebrate...THANKS!

 Lisa, Me and Bry before the ceremony

Great friends make the program that much more enjoyable!

Bright lights of Freemont Street (Old Vegas)

All in all, it was an excellent trip....we saw so much and did so much that we are still exhausted and trying to get caught up on sleep. I'm glad we were able to go, but I (and my bank account) are just as glad to be back home.

Casting Lab

Today was a fun clinical procedures lab....casting, splinting, and phlebotomy.

 I have SO much to share, but I have NO time currently...gotta love midterms. This little tidbit will have to hold you over for a couple more weeks...but don't worry, I WILL be coming back with lots of pictures of the bright shining lights of Vegas and my new shiny golf clubs....eventually.

Halloween 2010

Whew! What a whirlwind my life has been this last week! Last weekend was our Octoberfest party with my class and professors. Everybody brought some really amazing food....we have some good cooks!

My costume for the party..Jail Bait. I was going to wear leggings, but I changed into jeans a few minutes before we left....felt like my bum was exposed.

MMMMM.....swedish meatballs....basted and slow baked for 4 hours. So. Flippin'. Good. (Thanks for the help Aunt Jules!)

This last week was HELL....soooo many exams. I can't even explain how happy I was to have the weekend come rolling in. Meggy came to visit Friday night and we went out to dinner, had some wine and just generally caught each other up on our crazy busy lives. Last night, I headed to Howell to see Christopher for some Halloween festivities. We got all costumed up and headed over to his buddy, Andrew's, house. We played some drinking games there for about an hour. Around 9, our ride for the evening arrived to pick us up....a big 'ol party bus! We rode the party bus into Royal Oak, drank like fish on the bus, bar-hopped until 2am in RO and went back to Andrew's to pass out. What a riot!

Oh so many jello shots....things are starting to get a little sloppy...

Hat trading.

This morning was a little rough, but my 6 hour nap this afternoon put things back in order. Another successful Halloween!
