I'm Back

That's me! Bottom row four in from the right

I haven't written in weeks. My life has been in total transition. In the past month I graduated from dental school and officially became a DMD (Yes, people they made me a doctor!). After that I drove 3000 miles, with plenty of stops, across the country in my little red Ford with my very patient boyfriend so I could move back to the East Coast for good. Now I'm here and trying to figure out what I'm doing. My residency starts in a week with orientation, including a 12 hour suturing class, and hours of computer training. Then on July 1st, it's all us! Eight new residents taking over the dental clinic.
My diploma, well the fake one they gave me on stage

I am super excited about all the changes that have been taking place in my life. I finally am done with school and will start a paying job after four years of student loans. For the first time in our relationship, I live in the same zip code as Elliott. I am reconnecting with my friends and feeling like I am a regular presence in their lives. I love being home and I have resolved that I should start writing again, because even though one adventure is over, a new one is just beginning.
