slowly leaving my comfort zone

Somehow I just love to challenge myself in all possible ways. I know I'm not good at making conversation with strangers - so I volunteer at Facing Forward as a life coach to practice that. I know I'm really cautious when talking to strangers - so I chose a thesis that requires me to recruit patients by talking to them and administering the questionnaires... this includes working with the nurses and doctors at the clinic where I do my data collection.

Today, I took one step away from my comfort zone. I finally asked for consent and administered the tools for my data collection (even though I still had my colleagues by my side). I am still very proud of myself! 

I've been working on my thesis like crazy... I really want to finish my final final draft of the proposal before clinical rotations begin (Feb 10)!

Looking at my schedule for Feb, I cried a little inside... I know I will be busy with coursework, rotations and thesis. Gonna do what I need to do :)
