Movin' On Up!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Do you ever want to scream? Sometimes you just have to let it out.

Don't we feel better now? I know I sure do!

So the last few days have come with A LOT of surprises! I got a call from school saying that my original fieldwork placement was officially cancelled, BUT they could give me a new placement in Pittsburgh to start basically ASAP. Which led to me having to find housing, figure out my life, spiral into a (small) bit of anxiety, and just all around feel turned all around. But hey, that's showbiz, right?

For full context, let me rewind and explain how we got to this moment right here. In March when COVID-19 started picking up in full swing, my program pulled all of us out of our current fieldwork placements and delayed our start of the second placement by a month. One month turned into two, and thus far I've been enjoying my relaxation time and have been reading books, restarting this blog, making friendship bracelets, and spending time with (limited) friends and family (safely, of course). However, that all came to a screeching halt when yesterday I got word that I could be placed at a hospital site in Pittsburgh, which is actually my ideal situation. I am very grateful that I am able to get the clinical experience that I want and hope to work in post-grad, but just a *little* frazzled about how quickly everything is moving. After all, I've spent the last two months watching YouTube videos and lounging around. Now I'm being told that I can start a new placement in a new practice setting in 3 weeks. Which again is what I want. Just a little frazzled! I feel like one of those pictures where the lady sticks her finger in a lightsocket and her hair gets all frizzed out and wirey. You know the picture? That's me on the inside. But again, this is what I want!

Am I sounding like a crazed maniac yet? Slightly? Whoops. Better go drink some tea and calm down.

So this post is more a diary than a baking blog but hey that's what you signed up for right?

I hope all is well wherever you are and that your quarantine has been not too stressful. With everything going on in the world right now it's sometimes hard to see the good sides, but they're there. 

Happy June!
