Getting there
T-minus 2 days and counting. Something tells me tomorrow will go by in a painfully slow fashion, just to screw with me.
Today was more of the same - bullshit consults, the same ol' patients, yadda yadda yadda. We had a number of patients get discharged today so that was good. I'm sure we'll have equal that number of consults to tackle in the morning.
Our last committee meeting was today. I was done by 4:30. That's the earliest we've been done all year. Apparently I'm on the committee next year because I was invited to the retreat that will happen sometime after graduation and before I start orientation (Jen asked me for my vacation dates). That's pretty cool.
I copied some articles in the library for an abstract I should theoretically be working on. I had just enough left on my copy card to copy three articles and most of a book chapter I needed and of course, I ran out of money when I was reaching the crux of the chapter. Great. I had to put another $1 on the damn copy card to finish copying the chapter.
I made it home by 6:15, did dishes and realized I had no desire to cook anything. It's at times like these I appreciate having about 10 pizza places within a 5 mile radius. At least one has a Wednesday special - $5.55 (+tax) for a large cheese, carryout only. It ends up being $6 total. Great deal. I also picked up some cookiewiches for dessert.
I watched the Sox battle the friggin' Boo Jays (we're down! we're tied! we're up! we're down! we're tied! dammit Loretta!) in the fine Boston mist. I pondered reading the aforementioned articles but decided that it would be in my best interest to do as little work as possible before Friday. :)
It's still very weird to me that I'm almost done with school. It doesn't even feel like it's close to the end. I remember being in high school and college and what it felt like that last full week of classes. I'm not having that right now. I don't know if it's because I've been doing this forfuckingever or if it's because I'll be right back in the same saddle six weeks from now. Maybe I'll feel differently after Friday. And frankly, I won't be surprised if I feel the same.
