Week 2: Thankful-Kelly Clarkson

My triple shot of the week:
1) My first baby garden. Hopefully these succulents can survive living with me! My thumb is actually the opposite of green... I give them about a month or two.
2) La Jolla Shores. I still feel like it's a dream that I live here. I took this shot during my lunch break at the La Jolla campus today.
3) Krakatoa Cafe. Loved everything from my Strawberry Lavender Lemonade to the outdoor seating under their large fig tree.

Happy Thursday!

What a crazy week it has been. I finally started orientation week (aka brainwash week)! 

Random thought: I think it's ironic that we have to sit through a 2 hour presentation on planning for our retirement. But I am all for it! The earlier I start, the happier old lady I will be. :D

I must add though, that UCSD has an awesome new employee orientation program! This entire week was focused on orientation to make sure everyone was comfortable and ready to work before hitting the floor next week. Today I learned that I am one of the 17 new grad RNs hired this summer out of a whopping 2,200 applicants!! My mouth literally dropped when I heard this. I don't know how or why I got so blessed with this opportunity but all I know is that I am never allowed to complain. Not only am I lucky to have gotten hired as a new grad, I get to start off in my dream unit, the NICU. I believe everything happens for a reason and I cannot wait to see where God takes me after this. 

Felling thankful and blessed,

Soojung

Week 1: Rather Be-Clean Bandit

My triple shot of the week:
1) My family vacation to Oahu.
2) My bestfriend/boyfriend and I exploring Kualoa Ranch
3) My baby Bazemore.

I'm not going to lie. Week 1 was very tough. After driving 8 hours, I finally made it to my tiny new studio home in San Diego, CA. The week consisted of unloading and unpacking all my junk, getting my new employee physical, and making many "necessary" target and ikea runs. I also met a few new neighbors who were all very welcoming. So what am I complaining about?

I AM HOMESICK.

Just proves that no matter where you are, like beautiful San Diego, if you are not with your loved ones... everything just doesn't taste or look the same. That is why I am dedicating my first triple shot to my loved ones back at home. I will say though, it has been getting a little brighter and brighter every day. And I'm sure once I begin my new employee orientation next week and begin werrrrkin, it'll get even brighter.

Feeling hopeful,
Soojung
