I wanted to take a moment to update my blog...I start Monday in the hospital...actually Monday I have to go for orientation so I won't get much exposure then....So I guess I really start on Tuesday. JT starts his job on Monday as well. Things are going well....It is getting cool up here, which after being in Dominica, is nice....Though I am sure I will hate it when January comes and I am commuting....We look forward to visitors... Have a great weekend.

OK everyone, Here it is....Our HUGE apt.....I say sarcastically. It is finally unpacked and decorated, though we are still without a trashcan. Ironic that you can't just go to target or WalMart of course.. Other good news is that I have clinical schedule....I posted it below. Please feel free to comment. I must go now because we are going to the gym. Love you guys!

I don't have any pictures of our place yet, but I will tomorrow. We are moved in and I do have good news....I PASSED MY TEST. Granted the score was not great but it was passing. We are in NYC and I should get my schedule within the next two weeks. Thank you for all of your prayers and I will post pics tomorrow.

Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.

So for those who don't know, we found a place in NYC. We are living in Astoria, Queens which is about a 25 minute commute into midtown Manhattan. It is a small one bedroom in a three year old building that is sixteen stories tall. We are lucky because we have an elevator and air conditioning. Also, because we are on the second floor, we have a large terrace/patio that we share with only one neighbor, a single mother and her five year old daughter. I posted A LOT of pictures below of our apartment and our travels in Chicago and NYC. I hope that you enjoy the pictures. We are leaving on Monday morning for New York. I should start my rotations in early November considering that I get my scores in the next two weeks or so. I am still keeping my fingers crossed about my scores.
