Boxes, boxes, and more boxes...

If I had to select one word to sum up the past weekend it would be productive. I spent the entire weekend traveling and moving into my new apartment. Thursday night, my parents came to visit Lincoln and we spent time loading clothes and fragile items into my car in preparation for the move. The next morning, my dad and I got up and went to pick up the U-Haul, brought it back to my apartment, spending the next three hours loading it full.

We traveled to my home town, met up with Chris, finished loading a few things from my parents house and turned in for the night. The next morning we woke up early, had breakfast, and headed into Rolla. Shortly after we arrived, the movers we hired showed up and began unloading the truck. My friend Tessa later joined us and helped in the several hour process of unloading. By 7 p.m., however, the boxes were unpacked, pictures were hung, and we were on the road again, all heading in separate directions.

Chris and I came back to Springfield, where we spent yesterday relaxing and enjoying some much needed rest and relaxation. Right now, I am waiting to get my oil changed so I can return back to Lincoln later this afternoon.

It’s hard to believe I have three weeks left of internship. I can’t wait to be finished so I can return to Missouri for good! It will be nice to be closer to family and friends! And it will be great to return to an apartment which is already put together and just like home J

Let the countdown to becoming a doctor and beginning the next chapter of my life continue…..
