Old Lady

I can no longer stay up and hang out anymore. I'm sooooooooo tired by about 11pm. I'm turning into an adult... And that makes me sad. I wish I was still able to function even if I didn't get enough sleep, like during high school and undergrad. I get like 8-10 hours of sleep every night, and I can't function properly if I get less than 6 for more than two nights in a row. Pathetic. I went out to dinner and then dessert with some friends, and we were all yawning by 10:30!!

I think I saw a cockroach scuttle from the living room into the dining room, but I'm not sure because its kind of dark in the living room, and I'm not about to go investigate right now... I don't know where my parents put the roach spray!! Ughhhhhhhhhh I hate cockroaches. *Shudder*

Back to school tomorrow. Back to studying like hell. Actually, I don't think I really study enough. 'Sall good because all you need to do is pass. I know I'm not going to go into a very competitive residency like derm or ophtho or neurosurgery because I figure that I worked my ass off to get to this point that I finally want to take the "easy way out." Because I'd rather go into something a little easier to get into, my grades don't matter quite as much... Board scores matter wayyyy more for residency. So yea, that's what I'm thinking. I wanted to do cardiology, but I can never hear quiet abnormal heart sounds (like a category 1 murmur), and I can barely ever tell the difference between S1 and S2 (I know you guys don't know what I'm talking about haha) soooooo I don't know what kind of cardiologist I would be hahaha. I still haven't figured out what the optic disc looks like in the fundoscopic exam... That worries me a little... I have everything else down... ears, nose, oropharynx and tonsils, normal lung sounds, what wheezes sound like, normal heart sounds for the most part, liver, joints, neuro exam, etc. I'm going to learn all the more embarassing exams (WWE, prostate, testiticular, etc) this year.

Speaking of WWE, I don't know why people say they only feel pressure. Mine hurt. A lot. And then I had to get an US done. That hurt even more. Ugh. I'm not getting another exam done until I get married. Noooo way. Btw, I haven't gotten the results of my pap yet, but my US was normal, so my issues aren't caused by anything grossly serious, but I'm glad I got it checked out. I had been kind of worried about it and been losing a bit of sleep over it, but I didn't say anything. I sort of tend not to.

I need to remember to send a thank you card to the doctor I worked with this entire month. She gave me cupcakes from dessert gallery as a good-bye present, which was really really nice of her. I need to send a thank you card...... tomorrow.

I think I'm going to go to bed now. 11:30. Wow its late. Wow that's sad and a little pathetic. I'm turning into an old lady.

Until the next one then.

One Week Summer Break Update

One fourth of my summer vacation is over :(

That makes me sad.

So far, I haven't really done much other than work. My preceptorship is going fine. I get to do the interviewing and then a little physical exam and then I present to my attending. Yup. Just like how its going to be in 3rd year. I just wish it was a little busier at her clinic and not any downtime. That way I can keep busy and not think about how I'm wasting time. Meh, its all good. I guess its kind of nice that I'm not so busy. Anyhow, I've had a longer break than I expected because my attending went on vacation with her family and I'm getting 3 days off plus the weekend. I go back to work on Tuesday.

I feel boring lol... I have nothing to say really. There's nothing going on. Supposedly there are a couple of boys my parents are looking at, but I haven't gotten on any of the details about any of them, so I'm not worrying about it right now.

I have a gynecologist's appt on Monday, and my body decided to become normal on Wednesday. I swear my uterus and ovaries just need to be threatened by a visit to the gyno's office for it to become normal again. The same thing happened last time when I went 2 years ago. Ugh. Stupid body. Anyways, I have to write down all my concerns in a list-ish thing... Ughhhh. I'm kind of worried now. We'll see what the doctor says. :(

Hmmm... I'm kind of tired right now... We went to Galveston today for the sandcastle competition thingie. It was actually really nice weather, a little hot but with a cool breeze, and we did chap-chap in the paani (splish splash in the water). So that was fun. Then tonight, I went to the a dinner thingie just for food bc my dad said they would have the speeches after dinner, BUT they had all the speeches before dinner, and I just sat there. Then I ate dinner and then left right after. The brother and the boy came with me and the boy is staying over tonight. If they are rowdy tomorrow morning, I will steal the tv and video game control remotes. But yea, I'm tired soooooooo that's all folks.

Until the next one then.
