New student orientation and a new semester...

Well after another round of finals and a great semester break, I'm ready to start up school again. I was able to attend the new student orientation this past Thursday and Friday. It was such a success!! I was able to meet a lot of great people who are very excited to begin their optometric education. It was fun to help out and answer many questions for the incoming class. My time sure has gone by quick. It just seems like yesterday it was my new student orientation.  My advice for the incomin... Read More

It's Official!! I'm Now in Tennessee!!

Greetings Everyone (again)!! So my family and I moved to Cordova, TN this past Saturday, and we are already enjoying the area. After doing some driving around to get more familiar with Memphis/Cordova, we have come to realize that everything we need is here within the vicinity. There is a Wal-Mart less than 5 minutes away, a shopping mall less than 10 minutes away, and all the restaurants and fast food chains you could ever need. As a matter of fact, my stomach is still stuffed from the Jim ... Read More
