Almost done!

It's that point in the semester where I don't want to do anything. Ever. It's right before thanksgiving break and I'm just so worn out from the semester. I just finished making cupcakes for my friend Amber's birthday today, and am bringing them to class tomorrow. I love being Susie Homemaker. It's really fun. Minus the cleaning. My God, I hate cleaning with a fiery passion that transcends all time and space, but I love how things look when they are clean. Weird. Anyway... I am in the third week of OB rotation. I have learned a LOT, good and bad, about people in general.

I was talking to Shanna about this earlier: there is one preceptor, who shall remain nameless, who actually said that she hated having students because 'they don't know anything and they don't know what they are doing'. That just pisses me right off. Seriously? YOU were in our position at some point in time. It may have been over 100 years ago, but you have to still remember how we feel. We are still getting used to the whole hospital thing, and we aren't trying to be pains in your ass, so stop treating us like we ruin your day because we are trying to learn from you. AND, you shouldn't even be precepting in the first place. Some people baffle me. My clinical instructor is really awesome, and I've learned a lot from her. Life goes on, and Thanksgiving break is a week away. I can't freaking wait!!

Marathon training is going pretty well. My feet keep getting "piggy back" blisters, as I call them, meaning: I get a blister, and then a blister on top of that blister and so forth until I have a giant, ugly callus on my arch. HOW does that even HAPPEN?! The running is really good though, it clears my head. Other than that, nothing much is really happening in my life. I'm kind of seeing someone, but I guess you wouldn't really even call it that. I guess we are "talking". He's a really nice guy, and I guess we'll see where it goes.

... and that's the news from Lake Woe-Be-Gone. I hope your fall is going well, and Happy Thanksgiving!!
