Good morning!

I hope that everyone had a great weekend. My weekend was packed full! While Geneva is a small city, there is still so much to do either at school or in the city. On Friday morning, I had to be up bright and early for lacrosse. We usually practice in the afternoons, but our coaches decided to spice things up and have us practice at sunrise! It was actually a great change and nice to get an early start to the day.

After lacrosse, I went to work at the Admission's office for a little. Then it was off to class. I am a psychology major and am currently taking all psych classes. It's quite an intense load, but all the classes are so different that each class is unique and exciting.

Now it's time to tell you about the best part of my day....I intern at Geneva General Hospital, and while I mostly just shadow, if I am confident enough and speak up, I usually get to see and do many new and interesting things. Friday was one of those days I took that risk of putting myself out there, and it worked! I got to stand in on two surgeries, and was walked step by step through everything. The internships that HWS offer are top-notch. Just yesterday, I went to learn new skills that will even further my involvement at the hospital. The career services office offered this course to learn how to take blood pressure, temperatures, and give basic physicals. HWS as a whole never ceases to amaze me. This school has helped me mature in so many ways ranging from my study abroad trip, to leadership roles on the lacrosse field, to this amazing internship.

In addition to working, I also got to relax this weekend and go see my friends on the soccer field and football field. There is great team spirit from students, staff, parents, and local people in the community. Overall, I had a great weekend packed full of new, interesting work and fun with friends!
