day 12 of 12

Sort of... I didn't actually work today.  Yesterday I went to work early and then after residency forum I left to drive to an interview for a PGY2 program.  I got there around 9pm last night and stayed at a hotel that the program had booked for me and then had an all day interview today.  It was interesting.  After match day I'll try to
do a post about all my interviews and my overall experience with interviewing for PGY2 programs.  Until then you'll just have to imagine how things went.

I have this weekend off so that is really nice.  Tomorrow B and I are going to go give blood and then later in the evening we're going out to dinner at this new winery restaurant that I've heard good things about as a late Valentine's day celebration.  He already did a great job getting me these earrings that I was wanting as well as sending me a flowering plant on Valentine's day itself but I'm really excited about dinner too :-)

Life as a resident is pretty stressful right now.  I am trying to finish my data collection for my research project and work on a lecture that I'm giving in a couple of weeks as well as worry about where I'll end up for a PGY2... so I really want March 21st to get here quickly but I need that time to work on my research project so it is kind of a lose-lose.  Nevertheless, I am enjoying my time for the most part.  I'm on my Admin rotation right now and I am really enjoying it.  I like my preceptor and I like running around to all the various meetings.  I've worked on a couple mini-projects and they haven't been super taxing but they have been useful so that makes me happy.

I have another interview next Friday... I have to give a presentation during that one so that is a little nervous-making.  I think it will be fine but I think some appropriate anxiety is healthy.  Ok kids... that might be all for now.  I'm excited to write about the interview process from both sides but I can't right now so hopefully by the time I can I have lots of funny saved up to pack into it :-)  We'll see...  For anyone who is wishing this blog was funnier, let me tell you, I wish it was too :-P  For funnier things see the following:

Both of those are funny.  Hope that was helpful :-)

goodnight
