The most unrelaxing (but most fun) summer vacation ever

I am only 3 weeks away from starting classes again and I can honestly say this is the best and busiest summer "vacation" I have ever had.

In undergrad I almost always took summer classes, but even then that was maybe three or four days out of the week and I still had a lot of time to spend with friends or just being lazy. My summer this year has looked like this:

Classes ended and that day I left on a 3-day trip with my husband to celebrate our one year anniversary.

One day of crazy packing.

Three weeks in Haiti.

Four days to unpack and get used to being back home.

Three week externship in Family Medicine (8:30-5 or 6 M-F).

One Saturday at the Student Run Free Clinic working on a care team.

One week off to visit family and friends in Midland.

That brings us to today. I start another three week externship on Monday with one week each in Pediatrics, Internal Medicine and OB-GYN. I am signed up for one Saturday at the Student Run clinic during this time and that last week my mother in law will also be visiting from Mexico.

It has been crazy but it has also been fun. I have learned a lot of things and promise to write more in-depth blogs on my experiences. Especially my time in Haiti. That place changed me and I can't wait to go back again!
