NYC, a big anniversary, and the USMLE

Hello all!  I am such a terrible blogger since med school (especially second year!) started, but for friends and family who are still faithful readers of my rare posts, here are some new things going on in the Baur household:

1.  I finished my second year of medical school! Woohoo! I am officially done with my pre-clinical years of medical school.  Which leads to....




2.  A wonderful trip to NYC with my cute mother to celebrate the end of med school classes! We went to see Wicked, explored the Met, and had all other sorts of adventures...it was a wonderful break, post-class and pre-boards.  Which leads to...


3.  I took the first of three steps of of the United States Medical Licensing Examination last week!  After a month of nothing but studying, it felt great to put this giant, important test behind me!  It will be a few weeks before I get the score that could determine what field and what program I am competitive to do a residency program in, but I am proud of the work I put in...now only time will tell! Which leads to...


4.  The day after my board exam, Mikey and I celebrated our FIFTH wedding anniversary with a trip to Myrtle Beach for a few days.  It was great to get away to spend some time, just the two of us.  I must say, I really love that man :) And finally....


5.  I just had the first day of orientation for my clinical years of medical school! Next Monday is my first official day in clinic as part of a patient care team! I cannot believe that I have finally gotten to this point in my medical education, but I am beyond excited (and slightly terrified) of starting this new adventure!
