My week has been exhausting in the best way possible. I have met far more people than I will ever remember the names of (this is my apology in advance), submitted assignments, gave speeches, hosted events, gone to meeting after meeting after meeting, and worked at my new job!
Saturday, September 6Highlights: I had a awesome night out with friend!
Low-lights: I got caught in a Texas torrential downpour on the interstate while in seven lanes of traffic
Newsworthy: Smoking is banned in more than eight out of 10 U.S. homes - nearly twice as many as two decades ago, according to a new government study.
Highlights: I made my first call to a study participant and received a book I ordered in the book, Lean In.
Low-lights: I have been thinking for over five minutes and I can't think of anything. My biggest struggle today was actually walking in my black edge shoes (DC friends, you know exactly which one these are because I tripped more often than usual in them).
Newsworthy: As stated on the radio, "There is a video you have to see! A dog wears a spider costume and it'll scare your pants off!"
Thursday, September 4Highlights: I gave a speech with perfect marks, ate Chipotle and with the help of my fellow officers, hosted a hugely success student social and met many energetic first year students!
Low-lights: I got so busy that I missed a meeting.
Newsworthy: The University of Nebraska Medical Center will be admitting and treating an American missionary patient with Ebola.
Wednesday, September 3Highlights: I was "cleared" at my new job so now I can begin calling study participants and collecting data!
Low-lights: I saw three cockroaches when checking my mail. Gross, gross, gross!
Newsworthy: Japan's Prime Minister picked 5 women for new Cabinet, tying record, to promote female leadership
Tuesday, September 2Highlights: I passed my Ethics quiz and watched a beautiful sunset! Oh, and I cooked a delicious vegetable medley inspired by my DC roommate, Tharani.
Low-lights: My apartment building was graffiti-ed Monday night. Up until this point I felt I had lived in one of the safest, cleanest apartment complexes.
Newsworthy: TEDMED is going to do a live stream of a presentation from Washington DC in the SPH Auditorium next week.
Highlights: I Skyped with my family in Nebraska! Baby Sophia is learning or at least trying to jump (or that's what we think she was doing...maybe she was just being silly)
Low-lights: It's the not even the second week of class and I am already plagued with hundreds of pages of reading. Hello, Graduate School!
Newsworthy: My school, the University of Texas Health Science in Houston School of Public Health, welcomed the new Interim Dean.
