So I'm 80% a Grown-Up

So last week was my last Level I fieldwork before I leave for my "big-kid rotations." These are the week-long clinicals where they don't quite throw everything at us and really its to get you ready for what's to come. Seeing as we only have about 6 weeks of class left, grad shool is coming to close and I'm terrified. Because I really will have to be a grown up. But for now I will sumberge myself in Charleston and soak up my time left here.

But here is what I learned on my week back in Greenville...

• I'm REALLY glad I'm not in medical school.
• Old people are still really adorable.
• I still like kids.
• The most adorable old ladies will give you a "Gurl I will cut you" face. You have to watch the cute ones...
• Greenville at 6 am is REALLY cold- even in october.
• Theres nothing like a southern good ole'boy talking about shooting deer in your clinic.
• How to make an egg sandwich (although I'm not sure it was edible)
• I need a constant flow of caffeine. Constant.
• Its really awkward when your allergies leave you crying in one eye. And your patient will ask why.
• Scrubs are the best uniform ever- just like pajamas!
• Scrubs fake you out on how much you actually look like.
• Greenville is crazy beautiful in the fall.
• Nothing like going back to your college food court- people will freak out and might lift you awkwardly in the middle of the moe's line.
• Going back to college WILL make you feel old when you see how everythings changed- Just go with it.
