When I was first accepted into PA school, I was absolutely ecstatic! I couldn't believe that I was finally there, after all of the hard work and worry that I had invested into this goal. Although I am still quite ecstatic, the predominant feeling that I am now feeling is frustration and worry about everything related to starting grad. school, such as filling out financial aid forms, finding a safe apartment that does not break my budget, and finding the money to make the deposit for my apartment, buy my medical supplies and textbooks, and other stuff.
When I was getting ready to attend college, I don't remember it ever being this difficult. When I got accepted, I deposited and that was it...I packed up my stuff and moved into my dorm, and started college. But everything I have to do and the timing of everything for PA school is so much different, and it's just not making the noton that I will be attending grad. school any more exciting or fun. I can only hope that everything will fall into place for the start of classes.
Well, my blog has undergone a bit of a facelift after 3+ years...I'm no longer a PA-Student, so the title has changed. Here, I hope to provide some insight into my world as a newly graduated and practicing surgical PA, and to provide some humor along the way.

Starting a new life is always frustrating and scary. You'll fall into it no problem. It's not worth worrying about. So, let this be one less thing on your mind. Plus, you'll have me at the same campus. We'll hang out all the time and that'll add to the normalcy. :) You'll do great, promise.
