Another semester is coming to an end shortly. Our final is next Friday at 8:00am. I'm so thankful that Farley and I had such a jam packed week last week---we are basically done other than the final. We have a 3-4 hour rotation tomorrow in pediatrics and we might go out tomorrow night so I can finally beat him at dance, dance revolution. However, bright and early Saturday morning, the non-stop studying for the final will begin. I don't think it will be too horrible and I don't think we have any classes next week, but who knows they often change their minds regarding our schedule.
We had to do our Spanish skit last night. I didn't expect to be fluent in two months and I've learned some Spanish so I suppose the class was a success. But as to be expected with only taking two months of Spanish, I'm not very comfortable with the language. In high school, I took Latin and ancient Greek ( alpha, beta, etc). I must have remembered more of the Latin than I thought I did because Farley kept telling me that I was trying to pronounce Spanish as if I was speaking Latin. I also kept saying "bene" which is Latin for good rather than "bien" which is Spanish for good. I wish languages came easier to me, but no one can have it all!

Nicole, MD
I'm no longer an expatriate. I started my 3rd year of medical school in Miami and have finished my first set of medical boards, which I passed! I've been to the little island of Dominica and Miami. I completed my Family Medicine, OB/GYN and Internal Medicine clerkships while living in the beautiful city of Miami Beach, FL. I moved to New York City in the beginning of August 2011, passed my second set of boards and finished rotations in Astoria, Queens in December 2011. I have not been posting as much as I have been extremely busy. It is hard to believe that I finished medical school, landed a pediatrics residency and that I'm finally Nicole, M.D.
