Or so I tried to make it that way! I started my pediatric rotation three weeks ago. Since it is in Scottsdale I do have a half hour commute, and I am not a fan of traffic. However, I am going to learn lots at the office I am at. Dr. Vo is a Vietnamese man who has a degree in pediatrics and internal medicine. There is a lot of diversity at this clinic which is great. I never thought I'd really prescribe medication for malaria or typhoid fever, but I have. I have also found that I am somewhat afraid of the little kiddo's, or more so of their parents. Every time there is a big kid or an adult chart, I am ready to fight for it. I've decided that it is because I am more comfortable with adult health issues. I'm sure by the end of my rotation I will understand how to talk with small children and address parental concerns. Hopefully, eh?
Memorial weekend came and went, but it was a blast. My best friend, Amanda, came down from Wyoming and we partied it up with a few friends from here. We went to dinner, played at the pool, hung out at the house... all in all, it was a much needed girlfriend time. Thanks for the fun!
Dinner at Texas Roadhouse - I love their rolls!
This is what summer is all about - pool time!!
And don't worry, I dragged Rachel along since Zac was working that night. I think she had a good time!
Best of friends! Sarah and Amanda
Last week also turned out to be quite fantastic! Friday night Elder Richard G Scott of the Twelve Apostles came and spoke to the YSA at ASU institute. I participated in the event and was richly rewarded. Elder Scott was very informal and humorous, although, we did address some serious subjects. We talked about the importance of living worthy in order to receive inspiration through the Holy Ghost. This time of our lives is crucial to what our future will hold, so it is critical to be in tune with the Spirit. He also touched on marriage, importance of modesty and staying away from living on the fence, and how we should recognize what we feel when touched by the Spirit (more that what we hear). It was a great fireside!
Saturday I spent at JP and Mary Ann's. I'm sure they weren't expecting me to stay the whole day, but it turned out that way. It was nice to catch up since it was a month ago that we last visited. Max and Ian are growing up quickly. It is fun to play chase, read books, and go for walks with them. I mostly go out to see Max and Ian! It was fun to hear them tell about their trip to UT and grandma's house. I then stayed for their BBQ with some of their friends. Always delicious! Thanks for the unintentional invitation!
