Sometimes, in pictures like this one, I think I can see a resemblance between my nephew and I. And that might sound weird, but it's not - my brother, when he was younger, looked so much like our cousin. After all, we're related. And I think to myself how lucky I am to have this little boy in my life. In less than 2 years, Trey has taught me so much about life and love and myself. Funny how kids are teachers like that.
Still no word from any PhD programs. Now I'm starting to get REALLY nervous. But maybe that's a good sign? Maybe I'm not flat out rejected? But really, if I am, I'd rather get it over with sooner than later. My nerves can't take much more of this crap. I want to be able to start planning my summer, and planning my life. And if I get in to Hopkins or Yale, I want to visit them over spring break - you know, 'cause it'd be nice to actually SEE the places I applied to. Sometimes I want Yale so bad I can taste it. And it's weird, because they're not even a top ten program (whereas UNC is tied with Harvard at #2 for public health). I like Yale because of their partnership with the NCI and the fellowship they have, there are some amazing behavioral psychologists there I'd love to work with, and the cancer epidemiology program just seems amazing, with opportunities to tie it in with psychosocial epi. But there's a huge part of me that doesn't want to admit all that because if I don't get in, I'll be crushed.
Tomorrow in my pediatric pharm class is the lecture on peds heme/onc - basically, THE reason I signed up for the class. I am ridiculously excited. More excited than anyone should ever be for a 3 hour lecture. This is the state of my life as a graduate student.

Great teacher
My opinion ... but his grades matter more than Yale or Hopkids
Best wishes
thanks....by the way, you worked in Peds Heme/Onc? how did you find my blog?
In Peds Hem/Onc I worked at Palmetto Health in SC.
Originally I intended to be an Army officer but I was discharged cause I had a little cancer a couple of times.
I stayed at the Ronald McDonald House and ended up in peds hem/onc.
First degree in micro and then a nursing degree after cancer.
Did two years recently in nursing at UNC's BMT unit perhaps for a little hair of the dog that bit me. Currently on soul sabatical.
I had your blog in my fav links list. Don't actually remember when I found it. Probably during a search for some Camp projects I've been meaning to do.
