not dead…

I wish I had profond and exciting tales to tell but I dont really. I finished OB and did well on my final and then did two short of longish weeks of Radiology and then Anesthesia. Lots of sitting in the dark and lots of watching people sleep and freaking out with the slightest twitch of the vitals. I then wen to vacation for two glorious weeks. I went to the Bahamas with my family in which I read, swam, read, slept, swam, read, watched the Olympics and snorkeled. The second week I went to DC to hang out with my Dad, to Richmond to see my adorable niece-son (niece plus cousin, its complicated) and then to Roanoke to do laundry and eat food.

NOW I AM BACK AND TODAY WAS MY FIRST DAY ON PEDIATRICS AND IT WAS AMAZING. And today was orientation, I oddly became one of those annoying kids who like knew the answers to the questions and stuff. It was a new experience. More importantly I sat through 3 hours of lecture and wasn’t bored, shocking. Best of all my community pediatric health rotation (first month) is simply spectacular: a week of genetics, a week of newborn nursery, a week of general peds and a whole week of nothing but special needs kids: NICU follow up, two mornings in a special ed classroom and a day of homecare and then some other related clinics!!!!!

if only all of med school could be so fun.
