Off to DC...

It’s been quite awhile since my last post, but I will try to be much better this rotation. This is the sixth move in the last 10 months. I have been able to see so many places and do so many things, but it’s also been quite tiring at times. These have been once in a lifetime opportunities to live in different places for 6 week stints. It’s enough time to really get a feel for the place, but short enough that I can get so many experiences in this last year of school. I have lived an another country, a small town that felt like a different country, and now going to a big city that represents my country. Quite the mix. I have a whole bucket list of places to go and things to see in DC and I’ll take lots of photos along the way to share with you all. This is such a great opportunity to work with the American Pharmacists Association and experience DC at the same time. Let me know if there are any places that you think need to be included on my DC bucket list, I’m always up for suggestions.

The hard place I’m at right now personally is determining my rank order for residency. There are so many things to consider and weigh when figuring out the rank. I’ve been able to have some great conversations with people to help me process everything, but it’s not finalized yet. I’m hoping DC will solidify how I want to rank. It’s almost there, but the internal debate is not quite wrapped up. Closing arguments have to be completed by March 11th, but I’m hoping the verdict for this court case is in much earlier than that!

One funny story as I was leaving Arizona: My mom and I drove up to Phoenix and stayed up there for my early flight the next day. I set a couple different alarms just to make sure I didn't miss my flight and one of the alarms is similar to a telephone ring. When it went off, my mom grabbed the phone in the room and was so confused as to why someone wasn’t on the other end. Good times with the mama before I left Arizona.

So for now it’s off to DC to be greeted by awesome family that I don’t get to see nearly often enough!
