lazy summer days

My summer has gone by pretty fast because I have kept busy with work and family things. Both of them were great! My internship took up the first month of my summer at St. Joes Hospital. I had a lot of great opportunities to do the "nurse" thing and what not. I also worked with really nice people who are great exmaples of who I want to mimic once I enter the medical field. I had all sorts of scenarios happen which all deepened my knowledge and critical thinking. Overall, I'd say the experience was pretty important. Plus I got paid for it. Wahoo for that!

This summer is also the summer of my 21st birthday. Yes, hard to believe I made it to 21 with all the worries and pressures dealing with life. The weekend after my birthday, I headed out to NYC to party like a real 21 year old. It was fun times with my best buddy bro and my favorite asian sister-in-law. They were so fun to hang with and were so generous with everything. I also go to spend a day with BFF Amanda.

When I came back it was July and time for working at Sara Grace and hanging out with the family. July wasn't as busy as June, which I was grateful for. I was able to relax and enjoy the lazy summer days. At the end of July, Ma and I headed out to Chicago for a night on the town with Thai food and Michael Buble. A great combination!

Now it's August and school will start soon. For now I'm trying to study before hand so I don't have to study extra during. I know that sounds a little crazy but it helps.
