week 2
So, It's been quite some time and things are a bit different than they were last time we spoke. I have no idea what my last blog was about to be honest (shows what I get for being so ambiguous at times) but it was obviously something negative that I'd probably be better off not remembering to be completely honest but I digress...
Summer 2011 is in full swing. I'm in Baltimore, a city which I have not come to love just yet. Don't know what you got till its gone certainly applies to DC..my real "city". Not that I was immersed in the city while I was there but I would much rather be stuck in that city for 8 weeks than in this one. Either way, still optimistic. If it wasn't so hot and I had my iPod, I would start exploring...just maybe.
The internship part is wonderful thus far. So much going on here, so much opportunity, interesting research, great people. I'm pretty sure I made the right choice because just being at the Hopkins campus is enriching. I like my mentor. He's got me involved in a couple things all of importance. I'll be out in the field soon too and the research projects I've been exposed to are really interesting. Sexual and reproductive health!! Adolescents!! Prevention!! Promotion! The fun stuff. On the first day, they told us to "Be A Sponge" and that's exactly what I plan to do.
So have fun, learn, make connections and study for the GRE are all on my list of things to do. Yes, the GRE. I honestly don't want to be stressed about it because I don't believe in work related stress over the summer months. I truly believe in giving yourself a break even when you can't completely afford one. It's necessary for your sanity. Here's the plan: get the book, make some study schedule, take some practice tests, try my very best, and hope it's enough. If not, I'll just try again.
Dust myself off and try again. Try again. Try again. Failure is not a true end point. I think I thanked God this morning for the ability to make mistakes and learn from them. #itsthelittlethings!!!!
