resurfacing

hello ladies,
it is so good to read about your lives, but it really makes me miss you that much more. kim, i am beginning to think that disaster needs company and your story supported my point exactly. my uncle died about two months ago, and about two weeks after that my mom's first cousin died from a massive stroke in her bathroom getting ready for work (she was only 50)... it's all just too weird. i'm so sorry to hear about all the family troubles. i hope that your dad can maintain sanity and nothing else disastrous happens.

jessie, it is so good to hear that everything is going well for you in seattle. you and david have been together at least 3 years now right? it's amazing how time flies.

med school and omaha are as good as they can be. school is grueling and everything that everyone told me it would be: HARD, draining, a good reason to binge drink often, and super time-consuming. i made and ass of myself at a party at a bar post first quiz last weekend... i fell on my booty not once but twice while i was black out drunk (i have the skinned knees and cut up hand to prove it)! oh boy! ash, i kept on thinking the next day that at least i didn't get picked up by the cops! ;)

to be honest, i'm having a little bit of a hard time... i'm really missing mitchell and you guys and i only barely passed my first quiz. going from a completely flexible schedule where i could see all my portland girlies for happy hour, lunch, dinners, whatever, was so wonderful and now i need to adjust to a TOTALLY different life style. i think i just need to make it over the first test hump, see mitchell again (he's coming september 24th!!!), and change up my study habits. it feels like i just jumped from little league to the major leagues! on the upside, the people here are so nice thought and i think that i am going to really like my class.

gotta get to the nightly study sesh.

loves and kisses, hugs and misses to all!
Em

  1. Hey! Stay positive girlie! What did I tell you, I FAILED my first medical school exam, and now just found out I am top 25% (yeah, that's me bragging a bit)...but seriously, you are freaking amazing and smart and will figure this out, it's just the figuring it out that's tough. Honestly, you will do great and your heart is in the right spot, so things will work out just fine. They don't accept people they don't think can seriously do it, and we all know you can.

    Sept 24th will be here before you know it, honestly it's scary how fast time flies!!

    Stay positive, don't get too discouraged, and call me if you need ANYTHING. You'll get your groove.

    Love you!!

  2. I think it would be worrisome if you weren't having a bit of a hard time: you have made a huge leap! I can't really relate to what you're going through, but I'm still here for you! And I agree that you just need to get over that hump and things will start to find a balance. I know you're going to do great! And I hope that Mitchell is still being supportive from afar.

    I totally miss having you in town! I wanna have a lunch date :0(

    Loves & hugs
