4 days...

I hope everyone had a good first week back to work after the Holidays! I was really nervous about going back after being off for so long, but so far I have really enjoyed my rotation and the team I am working with this month. I am also probably enjoying it more too because I am less stressed about doing things around the house, like cooking and cleaning, during the week. One of my New Year's resolutions was to start cooking all or most of our meals for the week on Sundays. Cam even decided to adopt this one,too...I think because he knew it would make me less stressed...I know you are thinking...Brita, stressed??? NEVER!! :)

So we usually plan out all of our meals , get to the store, and get to work. Even if we are having something that really can't be cooked ahead of time, we at least get everything together, cut up, and ready to go for that night. It is really fabulous to come home and remember that you don't have to really do anything other than heat up your ALREADY MADE food!!! And I also really like cooking on Sunday. I thought it might be hard to do, but it is actually very therapeutic and keeps me from lounging all day. We keeping up with it right now, and I hope we continue because its great!

So anyway, back to work....this month is probably the most demanding I will have my entire 4th year. It is called our AI, aka Acting Internship, and we do basically just that...act as Interns. Well minus a few things...we have to get orders signed off by a Resident, can't do procedures on our own, etc. Anyway, I have more responsibility than I ever did in my 3rd year, and I love it! I feel like I am actually contributing to taking care of people in the hospital, and that I am actually using my brain. So I guess hard work can be fun after all!!

Now to the exciting and nerve-racking news....I find out where I will do my residency this Thursday!! I think most of you know what field I have decided to go into, but if not...I am going into Ophthalmology. I am soooo ready to find out where the next chapter of my road to becoming a doctor is going to take me. Its funny, I thought I would be REALLY nervous right now, but I'm not! I think Cam and my friends are more nervous than I am.!! I guess I just know that it is out of my hands, and whatever happens will be for the best. I will post and let everyone know what happens! HOPEFULLY, we will be celebrating on Thursday!

Have a FABULOUS week. ~BSD
