Sunday night... time to post

I don't have a lot to say to the blog world tonight... Last weekend B came here to visit and we tried several good restaurants and went to a minor league baseball game so that was really fun.  This week I have started my first rotation in the SICU.  It is an open unit so the team I'm on is a consult team which is a new experience but overall I got to start off without too many patients and I think I have a decent handle on things so far.  I had to work my first weekend alone this weekend which means 1 down and only 17 more to go.  Hazah :-)  But seriously, I worked with an AWESOME technician this weekend and although I had some weird stuff come up I feel like I did a good job and no one died.  I do however still have the fear when leaving that I might have done something terribly stupid, but after a year of practicing as a pharmacist I'm pretty sure I'm being careful enough that I didn't actually do anything too stupid.  Here's to hoping :-)

I don't really want to go to work tomorrow but alas, I must.  And not only must I go, I must go early.  I saw today that I have a couple new patients that I don't know anything about so that means I have work to do before rounds tomorrow.  The funny thing is, even though I've had a couple of 12+ hour days, I'm enjoying it for the most part.  I mean, don't get me wrong -- at 10 hours or so I'm working hard to get my ass out of the hospital but I feel like I'm doing good work and I feel like I'm learning and that makes me happy :-)

Hard to believe a month has gone by already... In a lot of ways I hope the year does go quickly so I can get back to being in the same city and state with B.  I knew it would suck but being away from him most of the time is just a lot crappier than I even anticipated.  And that's my complaining limit for this post. :-P

On a lighter note, I have some pretty cool co-residents and overall I'm having a good time.  I am excited to see where this year will take me.  I think that's all I have to say for now.

goodnight folks.

p.s. only 328 days until I become a real person.  not that I'm counting or anything...
