I have one month until step 1 of my boards! Time is ticking but I am trying to stay motivated, focused, clear-headed, and calm. I now have the ability to get 7-8 hours of sleep every night, exercise for at least 20 minutes every day, and spend evenings with the bf, so I am overall feeling more healthy and happy. Please keep me in your thoughts and wish me success :)

After boards, Walter and I are staying at a B&B in Napa, and then I'm off to Chicago for SOMA Convention and to visit with my sister, Jer, Ty, and the Ander family. Then, July 19--- General Surgery!
