is it really spring?

As I had been told by many Omaha natives, we did have one final (fingers crossed) "storm" over the weekend - which only ended up bringing us about an inch of snow, but a lot of wind. Parts of NE did get hit hard with up to 10 inches in one day, luckily, not us. 

Today was long for me, but I turned in my big paper of the semester which is excited because that means its almost over :)  Just a couple more projects and tests and I'm that much closer to graduation in August.  First things first, this quarter ends in exactly a month YAY.

Last week I started my Pediatric rotation at Children's Hospital.... I love it!  Well, I can't quite say that yet because I only worked with one child for a few hours last Thursday, but I really enjoyed it. It is a whole different world in that hospital - it is SO obvious that it was expertly planned out, down to the nurses stations which are designed to be lollipops!  I am just amazed at how smoothly things run, and how much passion you can sense from all of the health care providers. It is more then adorable to hear a doctor explain to the med students that the kid "has an ouchie in his tummy"!  Observing the nurses and doctors interacting 
with the children patients was great, I feel like I have already learned so much after just one day!   This week we are there 2 days, so hopefully I continue to love it :) I'll keep ya posted! 


P.S... go Mariners, opening day today!
