It's August. I started writing this post in July. Early July, in fact. The real post I wrote was in April, and I think I made some comment about trying to post more frequently since I would have less free time than ever.
At least I was half right -- on the "less free time than ever" part.
The last four months were pretty intense. A month each of Pediatrics, OB/Gyn, Neurology, and Psychiatry. I thought Peds was fun and worth considering, and Neuro was interesting but probably not my future path. Psych was fascinating, but not in a wow-I-would-like-that-career sort of way. And my month of OB/Gyn, despite my best efforts to like it, made me feel primarily like I were being flogged. I was lucky to deliver a half dozen babies during this time, but it wasn't enough to make up for the rest of the experience.
Anyway.
I'm now on a break from rotations. We have 4 months to do research during third year, and I was lucky that I got my research block during the summer months. I don't have to start my next set of clerkships until November.
Let's see what has happened since I last posted...not that much, really. Except for...
- going to two weddings on opposite corners of the country (San Diego and Maine)
- taking out yet another outrageously large student loan
- moving into a new place with Karen
- starting a garden
- getting screwed by my ex-landlord (re: security deposit) and making plans to take her to small claims court
- training for a marathon
- buying a kitten!
I think that's about it for now. I'll try to get some photos of the kitten online at some point.
