The Pretty Hill

Two weeks ago I arrived with my mother after a 5 day road trip at this beautiful house on top of a hillside. Looking over the valley that would be my home for the next 2 years, I smiled, knowing that I had begun a new chapter in my life.

I'm one week into my Masters program to become a Physician Assistant and I'm so excited. You would think that at a school that costs 50k a year they would have good teachers...they do. I've been impressed at the quality of my teachers but I've only been to 5 out of 8 classes I have this quarter.

My favorite teacher so far is my Behavioral Science teacher. He looks and talks like Anthony Hopkins. He has a slight German accent, a humble but bold personality, and a sense of humor that can make anyone laugh. He is such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to people and treating patients. I had to pee from the beginning of class but didn't get up to leave for the whole 2.5 hours because I didn't want to miss anything he said.

So far I've decided I need to form good study habits and get into an exercise routine.
Neither of those have happened yet.
More to come...
