Time Capsule

Here's a snapshot of me right now on July 16, 2019

I'll write more about my COT experience later, but I just wanted to reflect on the moment that is now.

Favorite Song: Forever by Lewis Capaldi. I'm obsessed with the lyrics and his voice. It just captures my mood. I just love Lewis Capaldi in general. Mercy is another good song.

Mindset/Goal: Turn every thought from things I can't control and towards my goal- which is to prepare myself to be a military physician, to lead a team, and to improve the military medical system

Guy situation:
Current crush is on a Catholic priest/chaplain. Obviously that one is bound to break my heart, but at least he'll never be with anyone else.

Training situation:
I've got a triathlon in two weeks (Spudman). Definitely not prepared. It's an olympic distance. I have another one that is two weeks after that, so hopefully it goes better. I'm sad I missed the whole tri season!!

Training goals: I want to focus on gaining muscle this fall, and start looking like someone in the military. I saw a girl at the Air Force gym who was lifting more than the guys and doing awesome pull ups. She was about my size, just way bigger amazing arms. That's what I want to look like.

Craving: A sugar cleanse. I've eaten so much crap the past 5 weeks, I don't want any treats for a while.

Point of excitement: I'm going to see Shelley(my sister) and her kiddos soon! As soon as I get home I'm driving straight to their house.

Point of Anxiety: School is starting. 'Nuff said.
Actually, I'm pretty excited for school. With my leadership/preparation mindset, I'm excited to start utilizing the things I learned in COT. Also, I think being a tutor this year will be really great for prepping for my Step exam.
I am nervous about going back to research. I have so much ECMO and ovarian cancer research to do and I'm worried I won't have enough time to finish it all.

Well, that's all for today. I really need to write about COT before I forget about it. Next post I will. I promise!
