Big changes are on the way!

This is my first time blogging, so I'm not exactly sure what all I want to write, but I'm sure it will all work itself out.  For starters, I am a 3rd year medical student about to take what is probably the biggest exam of my life in less than 24 hours.  It's 8 hours and 400 questions and decides whether I can start my clinical rotations or not.  I've studied at 8-12 hours a day for the last month, so needless to say, I am ready to get this over with!!! Being done with this first two years of medical school is HUGE and I am so ready to just get out there and see patients!


At the end of the week, I am heading to the beach with my wonderful family! It's been two years since I've gone to the beach, but for my Granny and nephew, it's their first time seeing the ocean! I'm so excited to get down there and spend time with them, read books other than Step 1 review books, and soak up some sun!


Now, the story behind the title of my blog...because it might be changing a little bit soon! In 13 months and 1 day, I will become Mrs. Hicks, and in 23 months, I will become Dr. Hicks, DO!!! With all of these changes coming up, I thought I could start a blog to chronicle different experiences through rotations and hopefully realize what I want to do with the rest of my life...since that decision has to be made within the next year! So excited to start all these journeys with my friends, family, and wonderful fiance by my side!
