ponderings at work
I'm hanging out at my work place with not much going on. But yeah, this is what I get paid for now - being ready and prepared, fixing things from tiny wounds and nose-bleeds all the way to actual emergencies. On some days I feel like what I actually get paid for is meeting the most annoying of customers/patients. But well... you get that. On some days I'm so busy I don't even have time to sit down for the whole 10 or 11 hours. But today's not one of those days. Today's a day when I do things but nothing major and not all the time. Today's a good average day.
I've done a bit of studying on the side - given that I've been skipping most lectures this week, I think it's just a good thing. :) Although I can't really call my effort anything life-changing today. Maybe tomorrow is a better day gastroenterology-vice... Besides, I can take pride in the fact that I have indeed studied. Some of us are spending these lecture weeks on sunny beaches overseas...
My fiancée and I have been planning a possible trip for the Christmas hols. I have my doubts on the matter - we only have 2 weeks of holidays at the same time and Christmas is colliding quite badly with those. I don't think I'll be able to handle not going anywhere for the whole year though - and chances are that I'm working all summer next year. Of course, that's what I've done for the past 4 years. But if I work as a doctor or do a training as a med student, I'm going to have to fall in the category of nine-to-five jobs. So no week's holidays there.
I fear that I have to take more responsibility as far as my studies are concerned. I have a fleeting worry about not knowing nearly enough of those things I studied earlier this year. :/ But you can't really spend all your energy on stressing about that - so I've decided not to worry too much.
