Yes, yes. I've been away too long.
But at the behest of certain readers out there (you know who you are), I have come back.
This month has been really busy and ridiculously hectic for me.
So I will try to sum up some of my insights from this past month in my usual list fashion (don't you just love it?):
1. I was on away rotation about a month ago in another state. I will not name said state, only that it was very cold there and I had a ridiculously hard time getting comfortable there. Needless to say, my performance suffered. But it was to my benefit that I have learned several things that I really needed to work on before my internship year begins, all from this one rotation. I can be thankful for that.
2. As much as I enjoy driving, I'm happy to be home. I was quite afraid I was going to get a DVT.
3. I spent way too much money on presents this year (but they all deserved it).
4. The lines this year were surprisingly short and bearable. And I didn't run into traffic at all (Except in Maryland. That just sucked).
5. Once again, Sears comes through for me. I <3 you!
6. Interviews are starting to wear me down. I hate taking time off from my current rotation so I can go for interviews. I wish my school gave us a month off for these things. And I'm not too keen on canceling any of them, but the more I look into it, I might just have to...ugh.
7. Still freaking out about matching into these residency programs.
8. The need to finish Thank You letters is mounting. Like, a lot! I have 3 schools to write for still!
9. Thank goodness, I finished all my bill-paying today. Now if the mailman will so kindly brave the blizzard, I will gladly hand him my posts.
10. My laundry doesn't seem to want to end. Where are all these dirty clothes coming from???
11. Seems like I'll be doing some flying as well in the next month. Miami and Houston, Yay!
12. I need a personal assistant. STAT!
13. Wow, this blizzard is really coming down like mad. This is seriously a white out! Not really looking forward to shoveling all of this crap tomorrow. But I suppose, it's a small price to pay for a snow day.
14. Nothing beats mom's home cookin'! Yum.
15. I seriously need to catch up on my TV. I'm making a Christmas request for next year: DVR, please.
16. It's amazing to see that Barnes and Noble has a whole section dedicated to teen vampires. What has the world come to?
17. It drives me up the wall when my school decides to do didactic teaching that is remotely relevant to our clinical learning. Why they insist on doing some humanities course now instead of something more useful like, oh developing assessment and plans or even being a more coherent/cohesive presenter of patient information, is really beyond me. My teeth hurt because of it. Wait, never mind. That's just the tin foil.
18. I have eczema. In my hands. And I want to peel the tar out of them because they itch so much. Nuff said.
19. And since I have hand eczema, I now have a new bane in my existence...the hospital hand sanitizer. When your hands are dry and cracking, dousing them with alcohol gel does not a happy med student make.
20. Is it spring yet?
Dun.

Ok, that's all I got for now. I'm sure something amusing will

I used to know the hand pain thing when I worked at the clinic - you need to start carrying around cream for that. Or if you had a personal assistant they could schlep that stuff around for you.
You don't need a DVR what about the Interwebs? Isn't there enough on Sidereel or what about NetFlicks? I don't know about that but I know J's parents use it.
More later - I need to get ready to go downtown for massage therapy.
Netflix sometimes doesn't have the latest shows. And my computer is old so running streaming programs tends to slow it down some and really heat it up a lot. Not a good thing when you're a comp. But thanks for the suggestions. I will probably get netflix for movies when I get my own place soon.
