summer quarter here I come...

So its been over a month since I last wrote... as pointed out by Kevin... thanks :)

The quarter ended well... didn't get the best grades, but I finished without much trouble.

I just got back from a week back in Seattle and a weekend in Entiat. It was good being home, seeing old friends and getting my mind off of life in Spokane and studying. I ran the race for the cure with Kirstin, Seyward and a few of Kirstin's friends from church. I scrapped the rust off of the back stairs at my mom's apartment building and repainted it. We went to many a graduation party, ate a lot, and had my fair share of going out with friends. I got to see Josh and Danny and on Thursday I got to help Josh with Field day at school. It was good to do anything BUT study.

Tomorrow we have our first day of our 2 week summer quarter before starting our 5 week internship. I'm both excited and scared for it. It seems that its been too long since we've been able to see patients that I almost forget what its like, even more so, its nerve wracking to think that I have to apply my knowledge to real live people. Although, I know that I'll very easily come into the groove of things without much trouble.

I also found out that I won the Zorre Dearborne Scholarship, which is for students that have demonstrated devotion to their communities. It helped that i've been volunteering with YL for special needs kids, which validated my previous work in Seattle. The scholarship is for about $1000 and I'll get it in November after a ceremony of sorts.

anyways, i should go to bed. i'll try to be a little more consistent with my blogging in the future :)
