The Retreat Continues - Tuesday, March 30th

The second full day is coming to a close and I'm wiped out again. I can't wait to get on the road and see all the hours of work I've put into this ride over the past year become a fun and exciting adventure.

I had the pleasure of waking everyone up again this morning to enjoy another breakfast of cereal and as many bagel's as you could ever want from Einstein's. I personally enjoyed a piece of Matzo with peanut butter. I'm attempting to observe Passover at least a little bit since I missed out on Seder for what I think was the first time in a really long time - and probably the first time of many for at least the next four years.

We started the morning by going over the lectures we hadn't covered yesterday and then had a quick bike maintenance clinic making sure everyone is prepared to at least attempt to change their own flat tire. Then we decorated the vans (picture coming soon...I hope). They look quite nice if I do say so myself.

Finally had a little free time this afternoon and walked out to the beach. It was gorgeous and a much needed break from the organizing and work involved in these past couple days. It reminded me how much I like being outside and in nice weather no less. I'm really wondering why I didn't branch out to a few nicer climates when I applied to residency. I guess there's always fellowship to look forward to...




We finished up the day with our first event. It was one we pulled together at the last minute thanks to an amazing contact at UCSD who we connected with over email about 3 weeks ago. We had a pretty good crowd and I put my student council merchandise sales skills to use and convinced a few attendees to purchase our nice waterbottles and tshirts. I'll be happy to sell any of these items to anyone of you reading this also! I happen to think the tshirt is quite nice and would recommend buying it to everyone!



I think that's about all I can manage to talk about now. I really need some internet that will let me add some pictures because I think they will add a lot to these stories and I just won't have to write as much!

Until tomorrow...
