Cap, Gown, Hood

Today I ordered my cap, gown, hood and graduation announcements. I also received an email from a classmate announcing the time until graduation... 4 months, 5 days! Thursday will be my last day in clinic as a PA-S (Physician Assistant student). Thats right, next time I am working in a clinic I will be a PA-C (I will graduate as a PA, however I do not gain the "-C" until I have taken and passed the board exams and become certified). I will also be paid for my labor!!!  I will no longer be paying thousands of dollars for the pleasure of working.

Last night I chatted with one of my classmates I will be traveling to Cambodia with, I am so excited to be spending six weeks with several of my classmates. After a year of moving from place to place, being isolated from my family, classmates, and friends, and always trying to connect with a new staff, I am so excited to spend the next four months on campus and six weeks traveling with classmates. I will be doing work in Cambodia, but I will also be exploring the area and traveling on the weekends. As I prepare to travel abroad for the first time, I am a little stressed, but mostly excited. This time in two weeks I will be at the airport!
