About Me

Yep, I'm still in Physician Assistant school and loving it! I've never had to work so hard, but at the same time I've never wanted anything more. I'm just counting down the months till I get to go off to clinicals and then off to the real world. I love me some good food, good books and movies. There is nothing better than a good conversation and people who I truly believe are interesting -- You know who you are. I believe that music is one of the most powerful forces in the world, often more powerful and meaningful than religion. But above all laughter is the universal language of the soul. Imagine a child laughing right now!-you just smiled yourself, didn't you? Recently I've become obsessed with what will be my first tattoo and can't wait to have it done. It's a tribute to my father, Rex, who I lost when I was a child and with whom I share a name (Justin Rex). Also if I'm ever blessed with a son, he will carry on that name and it will hopefully serve as a testament to the great man my future children will never have the chance to know. It's been a long time coming and I am in the final stages of perfecting the design. As soon as possible I plan to do relief work abroad whenever I can and to volunteer my services at free clinics where ever I end up living in the states... I'd like to move to a place that has more seasons than just "almost summer, summer, still summer, and christmas". I have a few good memories associated with snow, and I'd like to try to make some new ones. To all the people I've ever known, thank you for being part of my life and for helping me to become who I am. I hope we all cross paths again someday.
