The Past Couple of Weeks...

So, the past couple of weeks have been super busy for me! First of all, after my fun weekend in NOLA, I went up to Illinois to visit my friend Rachel and her husband Matt for labor day! It was fantastic - the weather was great, the people were awesome, and the food - just outta this world! While I was up there I got to go to Chicago and see all the touristy attractions that it has to offer! It was a lot of walking, but in the end it was definitely worth it.

A few weekends later, my best friend in the world has the cutest baby boy I've ever seen in my life! I think that he is the most precious thing ever - and am so excited to be able to spoil him.

 
And finally, I found out I was rejected from medical school (at LSU - where I work)! No need to feel bad or say you're sorry. I knew from the beginning it was a long shot! I'm not the smartest person, the greatest test taker, or anything of the sort; however, it's still hard when you see that little word on paper. Everyone tells me I should go and talk to the head of admissions, Dr. Kennedy, but I'm not sure if I want to. If my grades or test scores are to blame for not getting in, then I already know that. And if they aren't, I don't know that I could handle hearing that. So as I go forward, working - teaching - living, I think to myself. Do you want it bad enough? Am I willing to go the distance, take those few extra steps? Or should I just be content in the life I lead now - I am content in the existence I have now! Maybe eventually I'll make my way down to Kennedy's office, ask him why they said no - maybe not...
