T minus 12 weeks

Just after 3 days on Ob/Gyn I've realized a couple of things:
1. BY GOD I HATE THE OR
2. there are people out there who are A. having babies or B. want to have babies and both groups really just shouldn't be having babies. Let's think of infertility as the 21st century natural selection. Because MVA's and other random acts of stupidity are easily fixed with modern medicine and no longer effective
3. Ob/Gyn's are just like surgeons, except with dangly earrings and makeup

So....I'm ready for 4th year. Honestly, I'm ready for my time on L&D where I want to deliver ONE baby and then call it a day. Unfortunately that doesn't seem like it'll be happening. What seems likely is me losing my filter between Attitude Avenue and Anal Retentive Lane and completely going off on someone. Let's hope that doesn't happen. All I have to say is thank the sweet Lord baby Jesus for awesome partners because otherwise I may need heroin to numb myself in order to get through this rotation. I always thought Ob/Gyn would be the one rotation that would take me away from Path (I wanted to be an Ob/Gyn as a child) but that has definitely been beaten out of my system already. Pathology Dept, here I come!

I turned in my list o'classes for next year. It's heavy on the front end with path and then ends with family med and peds. Hopefully the schedule I end up with will resemble my desired year plans. Hopefully I can get some research under my belt because honestly I have no idea how pathology does research. Probably need to figure that out soon. Also going to talk to one of the Seniors who decided to do path and see if he has any good pointers. All in all I'm pretty stoked about the prospect of finally graduating, having a job, and moving the hell out of my parent's house.

Here's to everyone getting their schedules, finishing up the last 12 weeks of M3 year, and the large amounts of senioritis that have already begun to set in.
