Tomorrow Equals 1 of 12

October is only a week away and things are rolling along here in PA.  I finished my training and I have one more week of my kinetics rotation.  Kinetics is basically pharmacy math, and at the risk of sounding like a big nerd, I kind of enjoy doing it.  After this week we'll start following patients and going on rounds on the General Pediatric Medicine floors.  It's exciting that it's almost here!  Along with the progression of this residency, I start working weekends next weekend.  We do every other weekend for 6 weeks then get 3 weekends off in a row.  I took my law test on Saturday, so I'm hoping to have good news before this week is over.

Outside of the hospital, I've been running with the running group and trying to get involved in the church I've been going to.  Last Saturday I ran the group run with a few girls who ran college cross country.  They kept about an 8 minute/mile pace, and it about killed my feet (which already have problems).  With work and people coming to visit (yea!) I won't be doing the long run for  awhile.  I went to a barbecue last weekend at my church and met some nice people.  Small groups started last week, so I went to one that was close to my apartment.  I know I'm used to the Midwest, but people were not super friendly and almost seemed annoyed that new people were coming to the group.  There is another one close to my apartment that I think I'll try this week.  I hope it's more successful.

Since this was my last weekend before starting to work on the weekends, I wanted to go out of town.  My friend Susan who is a pharmacist where I work was going to Princeton, NJ, to visit a friend so I tagged along.  We went shopping in the afternoon, walked around the campus, got cupcakes from the House of Cupcakes (which won Cupcake Wars on the Food Network), went to a show for local musicians, and played at least 3 hours of Guitar Hero- the version with the full band.  It was a really fun day.  Princeton is such a quant town, and I would definitely go back.  

My parents are coming out to visit in 2 weeks, so I can't wait!
