i wondered when i would stop playing on the internet...
when i was in college still i would always think to myself...when is the point going to come where i just stop IMing and stop playing on the internet? and i think it's now. the internet was like my favorite thing in the world and now i'm never on it anymore and i don't even put the right away messages up. on my days off i am so busy doing everything i haven't done all week...like putting away clothes that i washed on sunday, cleaning, thinking about moving out again.
everything is really crazy right now. i'm almost done orientation at work and it feels awesome. i think i have 3 weeks left. this week i am learning how to scrub into the OR. that's the person who stands next to the doctors and helps them hold retractors and suction and hands them instruments when they ask for them. WHOAAAAA. it rules so hard. i've done 2 c-sections by myself so far and it is a lot better than i thought it was going to be. once i learned the names of all the instruments and then the other names that the doctors actually call them...then it was cool. but before that i was stressing so hard. the tech who's training me is really really tough on people and sometimes won't pass them after a week with him but he let me scrub on the first day we were together because i knew all my instruments already (i had studied pretty hard cuz im such a freaking perfectionist).
aside from that, this week i've been taking patients when there are no c-sections. we have had a set of twins almost every day this week. i got to see my first breech delivery a couple days ago that was the second of a set of twins. my job is so incredible.
also mike and i are moving again. we were only subletting this apartment and the lease was up on august 31st, so on july 31st we gave 30 days notice of leaving. well, our apartment complex said that wasn't sufficient and that in the contract we signed it specifies we need to give 60 days notice. well we read the contract but it was like 13 pages long so i must have missed that part. also, they suck for not telling us that because we would have had to give 60 days notice within 2 weeks of our moving in. whatever. they are screwing us. so they said if we don't give 60 days notice, we forfeit our security deposit. well that's like 900 dollars. it wouldn't have mattered at all, and we would have just stayed until the end of september to fulfill our lease obligations, BUT we had already found somewhere else to leave (the reason why we were giving our notice) on july 31st. it is a house and it's only like 25 dollars more in rent than the apartment we are in now. i can't even talk about how great it is. the kitchen is AMAZING. we're really excited about it. so we were applying for that one, and we wanted it but the lady wanted to get someone in it immediately. she said for her to hold it for us she wanted half of august's rent or else she would keep trying to get someone to rent it from her. so we liked it enough that we said ok...we'll eat that 500 dollars just to keep it, and we'll find someone to sublet from US for the month of september, so we'll get our security deposit back, and then that person can continue for another year here if they want.
well we found someone who wants it ASAP and now we are moving next weekend. plus we get our security deposit back immediately. we got keys to the new place last night. it kind of smells like a rodent cage in the house but that's just because it's been closed up for a little while. nothing some air fresheners won't fix. (hint...send us air fresheners). also my birthday is soon so that's exciting, and we're going down the shore this weekend. woo.
