And I believe it! Fall break has passed as if it were a mere blip on my radar of my last fall semester at Rhodes. I’m still home. Should I be packing up and leaving now? Probably, but this is the first time that I have been back to my house since May and so I am taking advantage of being in the country. I’m going to at least stay through dinner and get that one last home-cooked meal- mmmm.
I have spent my break in Franklinton, Louisiana (the place I call home). I went to the Washington Parish Fair, a rodeo, and enjoyed some fresh air and sunshine in my own backyard- backyard being a loose term for wide open fields (we live in the country). It has been wonderful. I have even found it rather easy to get work done, so long as I can get quiet time away from my five year old sister, Logan, which has worked well today because she’s at school!
It has been relaxing and I’m sure you can tell that I am not ready to go back.
I could tell you about what I’ve been up to, but the pictures tell so much more. See below for a photographic summary of my break!
-
- I was playing in the wildflowers at my house

- This is what the sky looked like on my way home

- The entrance to the fair the day after it ended… it was quiet and peaceful

- Loads of people at the fair!
November will be a month of traveling for me so expect to see some exciting updates! I will be flying to Florida for an interview with LECOM-Bradenton (yes, my first med school interview!). Then I will be in Columbus, OH for the BACCHUS General Assembly. I will leave OH for Washington, DC where I will present at the Society for Neuroscience Conference (and see Stephen of course!) Then after a week back in Memphis, I will be spending Thanksgiving break with Stephen and his family in North Carolina. Look forward to exciting updates from all over the country!
Until next time,
Sarah
