So, Now We Will Meet

I start my M3 year tomorrow and I would like to state for the record that I am SCARED. I think I was excited up to the point of the 20,000 surgery dept emails followed by reading all pertinent syllabi which basically all read "here's the doctor's name, here's his/her pager, do it yourself and then log everything and tell us what you arranged for your rotation".

EEP!

Although, I'll have 2 days of orientation to fall back on. Maybe they'll give us a better sense of what is expected of us (such as call, when we show up, when we get holidays, etc) because I'm a little in the dark. Or maybe because I forgot to read syllabus #219 which would have outlined ALL of that. oy.

With that said, I had a fantastic time at the BEACH with some of the girls: Cupcake Queen, Aspiring Neurosurgeon, and Running Champ. I got my fill of ocean and beach for a while, although I never knew I'd enjoy the beach that much. Sure, I've gone to the coast here but it's not the same as going to Florida. I really do love the sun and sand and hopefully I'll be able to go back again soon.

Then I went to my friend's wedding reception in the Delta yesterday (they had a family only wedding in Jamaica and then came back for reception with everyone). Aside from minor drama it was a great time. The bride looked absolutely stunning in her dress and the groom was well...the groom. haha. they were both glowing and I had to physically stop myself from crying when they danced to "I walk the line" by Johnny Cash. You'd have to know the couple to understand what I'm talking about, but it's kinda been their theme song. It was just awesome and I will be remembering it for quite some time especially due to the 27 mosquito bites I have from my toes to my face. I somehow didn't think to bring bug spray to the shindig (Delta+summer=mosquitoes the size of birds. Ok, maybe not really, but they were EVERYWHERE). Classic.

Well, I will leave it at that. My short but fun filled and busy summer break has been the perfect introduction to my M3 year. And I even cleaned my room and bathroom! So without further ado, I will lay in bed and watch Jurassic Park and wait for the last load of laundry to finish drying.

Until Next time!
