AUGUST 3rd!!!

Yes that's right folks! I take Step 1 on August 3rd!!


Just wanted to take a short break from studying to say hello and update you guys(assuming there are ppl that read this lol) on my Step date. I will be going back home to take the test and then I will have abt a month of much needed vacay!!!! I am trying not to let the excitement overshadow my focus right now but man it is very hard!!! I have not had a true break in so long that just the thought of having one makes me wanna shout!! lol Well not too much else to say right now unless you wanna hear abt all this stuff I'm studying for this test.. Yea didn't think so. :) Well let me get back too it. I will post the day after my test and let you know how I felt about it. Honestly I am kinda scared but at the same time I am very excited. It's a weird feeling to be taking these steps towards MD land. Each day I am getting closer and sometimes I feel like I am dreaming. Ok Ok maybe a little dramatic but it is true.

This song pretty much sums up my thoughts at this point in my life.

As always...until next time.....Love life and smile.....

and NEVER give up on your dreams....

Love,
Court

STEP by STEP

I don't even know if anybody still reads this but just thought I would say hello and provide an update on my life up to this point.....So here it goes!

1st off: Hey y'all!!! (in the most southern country voice) ;)

Well so much has changed over these past months. I think I'm still in shock about it all. Talk about stressful... I have gotten through 5th. Which was tons on awesomeness!!! I loved being at PMH. I am so grateful for the things that I learned there and I know that it will help me to be a better doc in the future. So after 5th I had to take the Comprehensive exam that Ross makes us take in order to sit for Step 1. We get three attempts at it. My first time was at the beginning of 5th. I wasn't really into studying so I wasn't really surprised to not pass it. But this time around I studied my "bootay" off and I am happy to announce that....I PASSED! I know that I still have a long way to go but I am so ready to kick butt on STEP and start gasp....CLINICAL ROTATIONS!! And to think this was just a dream for me 2 yrs ago.....GOD is Amazing!! He continues to be my #1 supporter through all of this madness.

Well I no longer have to go to any class!!!! That feels great! Kinda weird since that has been my life for this long. But I will be ok. So for the next 2mths my life will consist of studying like a mad woman for STEP!! I decided to stay on the island to study. 1. because it's so peaceful and easy to focus 2. my man's here(yea my bf is Dominican) so it makes it a little sweeter being here.

Well wish me luck on what lies ahead.. I'm ready!!!!!

So now you get the double meaning behind the title of this entry. Step by Step (like each step towards MD land and "Step" for Step1.....*crickets* ok whatever..I thought it was pretty funny. hahahaha

Well I'm gonna finish enjoying my day. It's a beautiful day in DOMINICA!

As always.... until next time, love life and smile....
