Best Shot Monday - Hello, Joe!

Two weeks ago my coworker asked me to take some shots of her handsome new addition.

I'd say he's definitely a keeper!

White Coat

My school has a week of orientation for incoming first year students. Several days of the normal orientation stuff: meet and greets, introductions, expectations, community service and rules, rules, rules.

Then, at the end of the week, is White Coat.

And, at my school, white coat is a BIG DEAL. There are rehearsals and tickets and a huge party afterwards.

It's not complicated, really. It's actually just like it sounds - all the newbies show up, and they get...a white coat. A short one (which signifies a student rather than someone who actually knows what they are doing), but still -- a coat that is white. That people associate with doctors. That people will associate with us as actual medical students.

251 of us, all with white coats. All well on our way.



I have a feeling it's going to be one heck of a ride...

Can You Believe They Let Me Graduate?!

My parents and both my sisters came to town for graduation.
















And my best shot:

Some Girls Have All The Luck

...and I am certainly one of them!

A few weeks ago I graduated from my Master's Program (which is a post all it's own), and the night before the actual graduation, we had a celebratory dinner for our class and our families.

And it reminded me just how much I have enjoyed my classmates. We can make each other crazy at times, but there is still not another group I would have wanted to spend a year with.

(This is only part of our group - some weren't able to make it to the BBQ)


And my favorite shot from the night:

No one is looking at the camera, half of the group isn't even smiling. But you just can't fake happiness like that.
