Saying Goodbye
As the start of the school year approaches, I have become more excited and worried all at once. This will be my last semester of classes and while part of me is excited, a large part of me will miss being at Marquette. My mom thought it was actually quite hilarious because by my sophomore year as an undergrad, I was ready to say good bye to MU, yet this summer I was at MU every weekend.
It's amazing how attached one can become to a place. While it's not so surprising, as I have been at MU for almost 6 years, I do find it amazing how much I miss my patients and the staff that I worked with for just 10 weeks at my last internship and four weeks at the first.
I spent so much time with some of my patients that they were comfortable sharing information about their families and personal lives with me and a part of me misses that. I even had one patient who wanted to "hook me up" with his nephew...all I could do was laugh and politely decline.
