flurry of activity

There's been a flurry of activity around here lately...

Last week, I went to florida for a pediatric research symposium. I was mostly dreading it at first... I really hate being forced to make small-talk and "network"/"mingle" with strangers, but it actually turned out to be a really enriching experience. I got a lot of helpful feedback on my research and presentation style, and I got to hear about all these other cool projects that peds residents from all over were getting involved in!

Tomorrow, I'm flying to Baltimore for the peds academic societies meeting at which I'm giving a platform presentation. scary!!

Then, on Monday, we fly to New Zealand! I'm so excited, I can hardly contain myself... I don't know how I'm going to get through this weekend...

Oh, I know how! One of my dearest friends from HS lives in D.C. and we are going to stuff ourselves with good food and spend some time catching up!!!!

When I get back, I will have lots of pictures to share!
