That's not my suitcase

After 4 days of "packing" and running errands, I finally got everything in my suitcase at about midnight last night. 

And yes that is my old dance team bag. 

Slept 4 hours and got to the airport around 6am.  Our flight was good- no crying babies or smelly people nearby- and we landed in DC earlier than expected! 

At the baggage claim, Michelle, Heidi, and Sarah got their bags in about 30 seconds. I saw a suitcase that looked like mine but wasn't packed full and expanded or secured by a pink lock... When I saw the purple suitcase come around again I got a little worried. And then when Mr. TSA took the 4 remaining suitcases off the belt, I knew we had a problem.  

"Is this Courtney?" I asked after calling the number on the luggage tag. "Do you by chance have a purple suitcase that says 'Ashley' on it?"  "Umm yes, and there's a pink lock on it."  My pink lock. Courtney came back to the baggage claim shortly after so we could trade bags. Thank god, I need all 

my stuff.

T-2 weeks until rotation in Germany!

In 12 days, I will be one of 10 Univ of MN pharmacy students departing for Washington, D.C. to brush up on our US healthcare system knowledge.  From D.C. on May 24th, we head to Germany.  I am very excited for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, to learn more about how the US healthcare system compares to Germany's and how day-to-day life in a German pharmacy really works!

My first trip to Germany 2 years ago- at Neuschwanstein Castle near Fussen
