JSTP recession

Coppin held a recession for their JSTP students. I do have to say that while i've seen some of the students complain, i think the school appreciates their students, they appreciate the efforts of the faculty and students and when the initiative is started, they're proud of it and go on to support it.
All in all, it was a great event and i'm happy to have been a part of it.
I did fine with my poster presentation. It's my first but i hope i'll have more to come.

Of honorable mention, they did award us. A certificate of recognition from coppin, a medallion, and an award from the Governor, yes, the governor of Maryland.

What's better, Sam walks over to tell me the guys from Hopkins wants to talk to me because they have a research opportunity for me. Fred had blurted out as i walked across that my nickname is "energy". Anyway, the man told me he thinks i'll be perfect for his lab, the "energy" was what caught his attention. Thank God for that.

I got to meet tons of people, formed new relationships and again, i'm happy to have been a part of it.

Among other news, i showed up to the prayer center this morning. It turns out theres a different door which i'd missed the first time i tried to go there. Met great people and they were all nice. Actually hanged out with them till after 11. Oh well, i need to read EK bio 3 and maybe turn in.

things i didn't know

Newspaper delivers get up at 1am. A patient at the clinic made a comment that she ate at 3am this morning and the np goes, what on earth were you doing up at 3am? She said work. After the np had left, i asked her what she does and that turned out to be in interesting conversation. As i listened to her talk about how she has to get up, go pick up the papers and then go on her delivery route, i kept saying in my head "there is no way i'll deliver newspapers in baltimore". Chanute, KS, yes. Bmore, no! The city isn't safe and i can't imagine anyone being out at 3am. I admired her and have so much respect for her. She talked about how people had to get their paper by 6am or else you get charged money and what not. Each day, i learn something new. On a silly note, a very critical couple told me i'm a good stick - that was shocking, especially coming from them. they thought i was the best person to ever stick them. Haha, I know i'm awful but i tend to be good in the clinic. I prolly hate sticking at the hospital because of all the stress.
