Virginia!

It's official.....I made it to Virginia.

I have been in the state for 2 days now. I can't even begin to describe what has been running through my head these last couple days. This experience is unbelievable. Being out of my comfort zone is the understatement of the year. I literally have zero comfort zone left. Surprisingly enough, i am in good spirits. I am learning massive amounts about myself, my goals, my surroundings, and my strength.

Being out of Michigan is bittersweet. I find myself savoring the familiar. Even something as small as the blanket i use at night or the restaurant i go to for lunch. That could have something to do with not having our home yet. The hotel we are staying is nice, but it's not our own. Hopefully we will have our own place in a week or two. My cat, Danny, is done traveling too.

Then comes the hard part, where do i want to work? I m learning the differences in culture from Michigan to Virginia. In VA everyone is friendly and everyone says "hello" if they catch your eye  and i have gotten the door held for me more in the last 2 days than an entire year in Michigan. They move a little slower and i am learning that i need to slow down too. I got a few looks when i was speed walking through Walmart yesterday. The drivers never seem to be in a hurry either. There was a line up of cars behind a mail truck today because nobody would pass him! I have a lot to learn and a lot to get used to i guess. I believe these differences will effect my practice and are things i need to be aware of.

Surviving the move down here has occupied 100% of my brain space lately, hopefully i will have more anatomy related thoughts soon. Stay tuned for that. :)

Have a great day today!
