(no subject)
I found out from my surgical intern that both he and Dr Olson think I've done a good job. Brian (the intern) even said he thought I was ahead of where most 3rd year med students are at this point!!!! That was nice to hear. I feel like such an idiot most of the time.
I leave for Detroit on Saturday. I'm not looking forward to 4 months away from Matt and my friends. :( I'm going to stop and hang with a friend in Chicago saturday night, and then continue on to MI in the morning. I'm getting nervous. And I so don't know what to think about this, but I know I'll be a little depressed for a while (meaning I will have little appetite) so I think I'm going to try to lose weight. AGAIN. I'm not going to be stupid and do anything too unhealthy or anything, but I can start being anal about calories and exercise on a regular basis. Weight loss is much harder than you'd think it would be. Really it's just doing the math. Minus 3500 calories = 1lb of fat gone. We shall see.
My next rotation is Psychiatry. :) I'm excited to see if this is really the profession I want to go into. It should make my transition to Detroit a little easier to handle.
