Updates and Such

So OB/Gyn came and the gratefully left. I was surprised at how much I disliked the rotation, especially since it was one of my incoming choices as a fresh faced, bushy tailed newly accepted medical student. Gladly that rotation is finished and I can move one week closer to M4 year. Starting peds on a light note (nursery) is giving me a false impression of pediatric life. If you told me peds was like nursery, I may just do peds. I LOVE it. I like the babies. Makes me want one. When I turned 25 the internal biological clock lit up, and now it's heavily ticking away. I swear if you listen carefully you can hear it: tick, tock, TICK, TOCK, TICK, TOCK, TICK, TICK, TICK, TOCK, TIIIIIIIIICK!

I'm sure I'll receive a rude awakening come wards. Otherwise, I'm back in the swing-ish of gymming and my garden (for those of you who didn't know I had one of those) is growing well. Unfortunately I'm 0/2 on sprouting my own cherry tomatoes. But I did successfully grow some zucchini from seeds all by myself! woohoo! I also have some bell peppers, squash, basil, and a collective mix of sweet banana pepper, eggplant, ,and random assorted flowers. I'm pretty pumped about it. I've included some pics of all the awesome that's going on in the back yard. Now if this pollen would just stop I'd be good to go.

Oh, has anyone finished up their step2CS stuff? because I need to book a hotel room. I am sad my friend that lives in Houston will be in Alabama (of all places!) when I'm taking my CS. I just hope for the pass because I do not want to do that crap again. I'll hopefully do well on our school-simulated exam so I can breathe a bit easier. Also, CK is coming fast and hard and I need to start really getting on that! Probably doesn't help that I've started reading House of God this week. It hasn't quite picked up the pace yet, or maybe I've been artificially making this book out to be more awesome than it actually is. More critiques on that later. 

Other than that I will be spending about one full, glorious week at my fellow PathPerson's house sitting with his dogs. Omg I LOVE his dogs. I seriously need some type of visiting arrangement because I kinda go through withdrawl when I don't get to see them. Haha. Okay, ok, I really do like PathPerson as well and always have fun hanging out or talking with him. I'm actually going to be really sad if we don't end up doing path at the same program. Yeah, he's one of those friends that has grown on me, one of those people that thinking of them not being around gives me the sads inside.

So any future posts will be happening from his house. Hope everyone is adjusting well. Just going to give a shout out to HemeOnc Doc, I know you've finally reached your holy grail of 3rd year rotations! That smile this morning was PRICELESS!!!!
