Before I Pass Out....

I really need to pass along the award I received.

Sorry. I'm working night shift this week and my transition from days/afternoons to night (11pm to 7am) has been less than ideal.... Actually, it's been horrible! I will be so relieved on Thursday when I am officially finished with this month, not to mention the fact that I'll be finished with nights!

I think I might sleep for 2 days just because I can. Mmmmm.....sleep....zzzzzz......

WHAT? Huh? Oh. Sorry...

Ok. On to the task at hand.

The first person I would like to award is my sweet sweet friend Todd. We became friends the first week of med school but it took us about 6 months to realize we had actually interviewed together! I don't know how many hours we spent talking and laughing and crying together the first 2 years of school. We're so much alike it's kind of scary; he admits I'm his long lost sister! He's one of the sweetest guys I know and definitely deserves a sweet award!

Secondly, I would like to award someone who probably doesn't know I read her blog quite as avidly as I do. Her photos are so incredible I can't go another day without acknowledging them!!! So Mrs Tam "TLJ" Jacobs gets a sweet award for her super sweet photos!

And finally, to a dear dear friend who is just weeks away from her first trip to Africa! I am so super excited for her trip and cannot wait to hear all about it as she heard all about mine when I was in Africa! So, my dear Annie Crannie, I award you for your sweet moves in getting yourself to Africa! You are a blessing every day and will be an incredible blessing to everyone you meet on your trip! Love you tons lady!

And now, I should sleep. Well, first I'm going to eat pancakes, then I'm going to sleep.

Soon I shall tell you all about the things I've learned in the ER this month..... oh the stories!!!

My First AWARD!!!

I must be a real blogger now, I've actually received an award on my blog!!! And from a very dear friend too: Ms. PaddedCellPrincess herself!

If you haven't read her blog ever, you are sorely missing out!

The stipulations of this award are that I must list 7 facts about myself and then present the award to other worthy bloggers. Who to choose, who to choose....

Let's start with the facts, that might be easier.

1. I am currently working in the ER. I don't really like it; not at all. It stresses me out. And I want to find out what happens to them after the ER and I never do....

2. I made granola by myself for the first time today! My mom used to make it all the time when we were kids because she refused to buy "sugar cereals" for us. But I've never actually made it myself. Yum!

3. The book I'm reading right now is over 1000 pages. Yep, I'm reading the "Game of Thrones" series. They. Are. Awesome! And extremely long...... It's really a wonder I get around to blogging at all these days!

4. I have a roommate. I haven't really talked about her a lot, but now that she reads my blog (she just found out I have a blog yesterday) I should probably give her some blovin' (that's blog lovin'). H is super tall and entertainment galore. She likes to make fun of me and my messiness. We watch a lot of "How I Met Your Mother" and "Big Bang Theory" and we do a lot of Pinterest.

5. Today's award/mention from the Princess is not my only mention in the last 24 hours. I got a sweet shout-out from my dear friend Todd over at Engineering a Med Student!

6. I found out this past Monday where I am headed for residency. It is a very important day in a medical student's life when they find out where they match for residency, if you even match. We put all our eggs in this one basket and run the major risk of not being chosen. It is amazing to be chosen, not to mention being chosen by my first choice. So I'm moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma! Woohoo! I'm gonna learn me how t' line dance!

7. By the way, I burned said granola. But it still tasted ok, ask my roomie. Just don't tell anyone, ok?

Now to pass it on....

this seems rather daunting at the moment, I haven't slept much lately....

Until I wake up tomorrow then!
