Antsy Pantsy

We're in the throws of it all. Less than two months of internship left and there seems to be an insurmountable amount of items to accomplish. Unfortunately, those things I choose to spend my time on are not necessarily those things I should be doing. For example, one of which is causing me much too much stress and absorbing much much much too much of my time is house hunting. We're at a gross disadvantage living in Mississippi and trying to purchase a home in Salt Lake. In exactly one week we will be on a plane to Salt Lake. Once we arrive we'll begin a grueling house touring marathon where we will find our "dreamish" house. I say "dreamish" because A) we can afford hardly anything, B) our expectations are different, and C) we are so limited on time. We're trying to meet the first time home buyer's tax credit. I'm beginning to have serious doubts, mainly because it seems like every house we like magically flits off the market before we make it out to the great lake and everything in our price range has something tragically wrong with it.

Dream Home

More realistic future home

While at times the future can look so bright, when it comes to homes, the outlook is slightly grim. I'm just crossing my fingers we can work a miracle. I'll keep you updated on the hunt and the outcome.

It's amazing how fast time has flown by. I just finished my PEDS rotation and all I have left are nutrition support, renal, staff experience and special interest. Two weeks of each for a grand total of eight weeks. Hardly any time at all. I'm in panic mode actually. Clinical rotations have gone by so much faster than management rotations, I love it. Next hurdle: job hunt.
