Time is flying and I feel like I have almost of none of it. I have been back in class for 2 weeks and it feels like an eternity already. But I'm getting ahead of myself...I finished my clinical experience back at the end of February. It was a bitter sweet ending: I was ready to learn from a different clinic but not ready to sit in a classroom for what feels like hours on end. My clinical instructor was great and I loved working with the people there. It was however nice to check that off and be one step closer to the end goal.
Between clinical and class I had a week off for spring break, a much needed break. I drove out to DC to visit my favorite sister for several days. She had to work part of the time and I found myself wandering the museums and monuments. At one point, while walking along the Potomac I realized how free it felt to not be thinking about anything, or have a deadline or need to be anywhere. I hadn't realized what a toll the last several months had taken with work, church and clinic. I also found myself wishing my sister and I lived closer. After spending four days with sister I slowly headed back stopping for dinner with a dear old friend and her sweet family, then crashing with my cousins for several days. I don't know how I talked myself into getting in my car to come back. Vacations are wonderful but terrible because its hard to get back into the groove of things after being gone. Its been 2 weeks and I'm just barely coming back to reality.
