Down to the wire.

This afternoon I received this email from HSOP, Harrison School of Pharmacy for those of you not up on the lingo:

"Region Selection-- we will open the selection period next week and I will email everyone when the link is live and include instructions. At this time, EVERYONE ( even those who have submitted special circumstances) in the class will need to log in and rank their preferences for each of our regions. This process will take 5 minutes max. The link will be live for 5-7 days. More details to follow next week. Students who fail to submit preferences will not get a choice in region.

Dr. Stevenson and I hope to have the information available 1 week later and I will notify you of region assignments. At that time students will have a week to make swaps with other students if desired.
"

So basically, I'm flipping out. Rotation selections are officially inevitable. Sooo...I've decided to take a poll (top of the blog). There are 6 regions to rank, 3 days to rank them: Auburn, Birmingham, Mobile, Tuscaloosa, Huntsville, and Columbus. I may get my first choice and very well may get my dead last.

An afternoon of pros and cons has brought me to the main dilemma: Do I choose Auburn or Birmingham as my #1? Do I stick with the familiarity of the plains or learn to navigate the unfamiliar with a new Garmin? I know that God is good, He is faithful, and He is bigger than any decision I will ever make. Now that we've established the fact that it's not up to me anyway, I'd like for you to cast a vote. Just for fun. I'll be back with the results soon.

On a ligher note...I'm loving my new home and my new roommate. Here's a picture of our (very) casual first dinner in the living room. Thank you self-timer.
