And another week has already come and gone...

Words from a country song. Have I mentioned that I'm on a really big country kick right now? All this warm weather and country music makes it almost feel like summer. You know where I'll be this summer?? Besides slaving away 40+ hours a week for my clinical rotation?? I'm spending few days in Nashville! My dream come true. The other day Joanna and I were having a conversation about where we'd be if we were doing what we TRULY wanted to do - dream job or place to live - I decided I'd be in Nashville. Let me rewind about how this all came about.

Friday was my first day of clinicals which is awesome. I'm on the neuro unit at UVA's acute care hospital. I got to see all kinds of amazing things on my first day. Not only the typical stroke and neuro conditions, but different spinal and brain surgery patients, a mandibularotomy, and some other cool things. It was amazing. Afterwards I met my classmate Laura in Charlottesville for some window shopping and dinner. I stayed the night at her house in Waynesboro because we were running a 10k for her husband's cross country team early this morning. We ran our 6 miles pretty fast - an 8:57 pace per mile! I finally broke under 9 minutes!

Anyways we were walking around and talking about things we'd like to or go and it just so happens that Laura and her husband will be spending a few days in Nashville with their family and invited me to go along! FOR FREE. Yes, absolutely no cost.

Considering this is the one place I've been dying to go (and I can see myself ending up there eventually), I jumped right on it. And it looks like the world of music and country stars awaits. I am beyond excited.
