End of May

It has been a while since I posted, but a lot has happened and I have been very busy!

The trip over to PEI went very smoothly. I drove all of the way except onto and off of the ferry, and I only stalled when I got into downtown Charlottetown at 5pm! I've settled into my old residence with two of my old roomates and one new one. I have the "closet" room, but it is sufficient for the 4 weeks I will be here. If I had brought all of my stuff, it would be a different story!

My AVC interview went very well. I got many compliments from the interviewers about how they were impressed with how much I have changed in the past 2 years, and how they hope to see me in the fall :) Obviously they don't not get final say over who gets in, its all controlled by numerical ranking of your whole application. But I am hoping my connections will pay off in having the upper hand on the interview this year, where most people were probably not aware of the changes. I will find out next week hopefully... keep your fingers crossed!

My externship is divided up each day into a new department. Occasionally we get to repeat a department. We also have a few planned talks or special events planned. I've enjoyed getting to observe some cool cases, but am a bit disappointed that we haven't been able to do much hands on work.

My driving skills have been improving, it is getting to be a habit and I don't have to think so much about the clutch vs gas etc. I am lucky to be able to borrow Dad's car ;)

I have been able to get into a running routine, since I no longer have a horse to take care of/ride. Its kind of a nice distraction from everything going on. This week I have built up to 4 miles, which is closer to my goal :) I may not be fast, but I like being able to finish without walking.

Tonight I start my night shifts, which I am not really looking forward to. I am afraid it will be very boring and I will be falling asleep. Is it wrong to hope that emergencies come in??
