Student SPHere 2008-09

I figured it was about time y’all heard from me again…

It was early Sunday evening, and ideally I would be sleeping or watching TV, or better yet out with some friends. But I was scrambling to get my readings done yesterday (i.e. I have a test today and I know nothing enough to pass it). So yea, remember how I told you I sometimes procrastinate? Well this time it is biting my butt because it turns out I read the wrong chapters! So this time I am really under pressure to read the RIGHT chapters!

Either way, I think my blog is a good way to procrastinate yet again. I am excited! I found out on Friday that I got into the PNC. For those that have NO idea what I am talking about… The Phillips Neighborhood Clinic is a student ran free clinic in one of the poorest neighborhoods in the Minneapolis area. It is a volunteer based clinic made up of students from the medical school, school of nursing, social work, public health, physical therapy, and pharmacy. I may be missing one school but you get the general idea. We work together to provide care to an underserved population in the Phillips Neighborhood. I am very excited to work with students from other health related disciplines and also because I get to interact with the primarily Latino population patronizing this clinic. Even more exciting is that my master’s project is based on an aspect of the PNC. I won’t give it away just yet though so stay tuned!

Also, yesterday was my little sister’s birthday, she turned 15. I miss her so much!!!! She lives in Ghana with my mom and dad. I couldn’t resist putting up a picture… or two of her. Isn’t she is adorable!!!????
