Currently, my life feels like a whirlwind! So many things are happening and changing and I can hardly keep up!
We recently received our white coats from the University. Its monogrammed with my name on it so everyone knows who I am. Sadly, the day of the ceremony is probably the only day I will ever wear it! That was on Saturday afternoon. Saturday night I packed up my apartment and loaded it all into a U-Haul to go to West Plains. My lease on my apartment was up and I didn't want to pay DOUBLE rent for 2 extra months!! My lovely friend Amber was gracious enough to sublet her dining room to me. She has a 1 bedroom apartment, and I pretty much have a studio. I only have an air mattress to sleep on, clothes and toiletries at her apartment. And so far, its been going pretty good. Trexie is there and she thinks she's queen of the castle. Our schedules keep us both busy so its not like we get to sit around and watch tv like old ladies (Although we do that some)
As if moving and white coat ceremony in the same weekend weren't enough, the university decided to give us our 3rd year competency exams the following Monday. So we got to take tests over Cochlear Implants, Genetics, Central Auditory Processing Disorders, and Aural Rehabilitation. Significantly better than the 13 we took in August, but still a buzzkill to my day!
I signed a lease on an apartment in Phoenix. I haven't seen it in person, and won't until move-in day, but the other extern is living in the same complex. I figured if she liked it enough to live there it can't be too much of a trash heap right? It looks beautiful and is super close to work so it should be awesome right? HOPEFULLY!
and the biggest news of all right now: I FINISHED MY THESIS!!!!!! My research was approved and submitted and done and over and I never have to read about sound levels of toys or daycares again. If you're interested Clay Franklin has a copy of it in his office! Haha
Right now its T-minus 30 days until I am enroute to the desert! I am beyond excited. Just have to finish up a few loose ends and buy some sunscreen!!
