First Day of Class

What a day! I loved it. However, just as all interns find, sitting in a room and watching someone else teach a class can be quite difficult. I want to refrain from using the word boring as it is not always the case. It is more similar to being non-stimulative. The first day of school [...]

This being Tessa’s first trip on a plane, I was going to enjoy this one! Sorry Tessa! Our first flight went uneventful, except for the fact I got “special treatment” while at [...]
