Life Update

I feel like a perpetual workhorse.

I guess it's not a bad thing. It means I'm generally being productive at any given time (or I'm sleeping things off. Every week after Spring Break, I've had or will have, an exam every Thursday, which is lame). But that also means I'll be having ridic weekends like the one I'm having right now. I took my test Thurs, spent Friday in lab til like 6 PM, came home, ate dinner, papered well into the night, got up this morning to fix the paper and turned it in before the 9AM due-time, and then slept some more. Then I got up at around 10:30, helped out Dr. Field for the Disease Detective Event this week (on Wednesday....I'm really looking forward to it....AMAZING speakers, schools of public health (Hopkins, Emory, UT system, etc. (woo Emory, that's the one out of state school I'm for sure applying to)), free books (literally all of the books being given out are on my summer reading list, how badass is that), graduate school fair, basically my career dreams come true). I'll be working the Public Health Internship booth/volunteering wherever Dr. Field puts me. And I hope to get a chance to chat with a few speakers, like Dr. McCormick and Dr. Sanchez, pretty much my heroes.

So anyways, that was nice, got to have lunch with her, and then helped out a bit in Painter, now I'm sooo sleepy. But, Swing Out interview for DS at 4 (holla), and then I can call it a Saturday/sleep/do something productive. And then get up tomorrow and Capture the Forty Acres is all day, which should be fun as long as I sleep tonight.....

hooray weekends, kinda.

Oh and I also STILL, have NO IDEA what I'm doing this summer and it's DRIVING ME UP THE WALL. I've gotten rejected from one place for not having any international experience, had two interviews last week (one of which I'm not sure went so well...another one was with a Harvard epidemiologist with Partners in Health who works on clinical XDR-TB outcomes (AMAZING! I died talking to her), and then one this Monday. I've kinda decided I think I want to be either in DC or Atlanta. I just really really really hope I get in to SOMETHING. Or, I can always ask Dr. Field to hook me up with the epi Texas-Mexico border health project in Brownsville with Dr. McCormick (but Atlanta/DC>>>>>>Brownsville!)

ughhhhhhhhh

Also, if you haven't noticed from my posts, I'm kinda more obsessed with election politics still, even as much as most of my friends are obsessed with March Madness...can't help myself
