going on impulse

i would love to be able to tell a story and not give away the ending too soon, but I'm so excited that I have to tell you the ending now and then the story. except, i'm not even a good story teller, those genes were given to my older brother, brett. But, i just thought you should know.....

I WAS CHOSEN TO BE AN ANATOMY TA FOR THIS FALL!!!!!.

I'M SO UNBELIEVABLY EXCITED, HUMBLED, ANXIOUS, AND HAPPY!!! WOW, LIKE REALLY. WWWWWOOOOOOWWWWW. I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS PICKED. ok, i'm not using caps anymore because they sometimes annoy me, but just because i'm now in lowercase does not mean my excitement level has decreased. I actually can't believe i applied because i have such a phobia of speaking in front of crowds. like, it stresses me out, but for some reason i felt like i needed to do this.

I decided to apply like 20 minutes before the application was due. Talk about being impulsive. I gave a little presentation on embryology and the heart and I practiced so much before that lauren can also teach you all about babies and how they come from three layers. It's pretty cool stuff. So after my interview this morning they said they would let me know later today if i got it or if i didn't. About 3 hours after my interview i got a call saying i got one of the five lecture TA positions for fall semester. OH MY GOSH, I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I'm going to need to study while i'm in JErusalem this summer. This is going to be such an amazing experience and i'm so, so, so grateful for this opportunity. FAll will be SUCH a cool semester!!!

Brett and Courtney. this picture has nothing to do with the post. i just like to show off my family.
