Scrubs, stethescopes, and shoes oh my!

Let me start out by saying I never knew how many different types of scrubs there were. OH MY! First of all I am a short person so finding scrub pants that fit me is difficult! However I found a pair by Jockey that are petite! (YAY short people) I decided to go with navy and teal, I wanted other colors but thought I should stay true to what is status quo at medical schools, even though I am taking the unconventional approach. I also got my stethoscope as you can see in my picture. Once again I found myself overwhelmed by the styles and colors. I narrowed it down to sea foam or this peach color. I chose the sea foam as you can see in my picture.  I also got to try on both my short clinical white coat and my lab white coat.  They are being embroidered as we speak so I will post the final med school ensemble when it is all done! All I need to do now is get a pair of comfortable shoes! I am open to suggestions, I have no clue. I heard merelli or however you spell it makes comfortable slip ons which would be ideal.

I am really getting excited for my new adventure. I've been looking at the books I have to buy and I cannot wait to start. On Monday June 3rd I will hopefully be able to pick my apartment and get part of medicine situation taken care of. Importing medicine is gonna be a pain, but I gotta do it! School is going to be tough but I know I can do it! I am going to come back and show American schools what they missed! I am one step closer to my dream of becoming Dr. Emma (whatvever my last name may be at that time.)


I guess that is now for all! I will keep you all updated.

The Future Dr. Emma
 

Post JC graduation whirlwind!

I did it! I graduated Cum Laude from Juniata College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology on May 18th, 2013, and I even got to speak at baccalaureate (See my facebook page for the youtube link) . It was 4 long years filled with tears, laughs, smiles, and lots of work. Looking back on it though I would not have changed a thing. All the tough spots taught me how strong I was and all the good times let me see how much all my hard work was paying off. 

After graduation was a whirlwind ( I was sick of course for all of the graduation festivities) and it has been non stop ever since! Right after the ceremony we took pictures with my family, the boyfriend and his family, and friends. Then I forgot about moving out and came home to a grad party all day long filled with family, friends, and good food, marzoni's of course! I am still sick and trying to get everything going for medical school. I know it is 3 months from when I am moving, but the amount of stuff I need to accomplish over the break it stressing me out already! 

I ordered my white coat today and checked out eh scrubs and stethoscopes. It felt weird but right when I tried on the white coat.  I cannot wait until the embroidery can say Dr. Ruggery, not Emma Ruggery medical student. 

There is still so much to do before I move to St. Kitts 

My countdown is below, as of today the 22nd I have 94 days left. I need to make the most of these days with the ones I love and will miss!
