time

At KMC, I was constantly busy. I would work from around 6am-6pm, then come home and read for the next day. As busy and time consuming as my first rotation was, I LOVED it. I loved working with the unique patient population, my coworkers, and my fellow interns. Right when I started to feel at home at KMC, it was time to move on to my 2nd rotation: Kaiser. At first, it was very difficult adjusting to a less time-consuming schedule, but now, I think I've fully adapted. While the actual rotation may not be as fulfilling as my experience at KMC, I am really enjoying having time to spend with friends and family. I've taken up walking, biking, and reading, and I've been enjoying things like random weekend getaways. For instance, last weekend, Dave and I randomly decided to head to the beach house for a weekend away with Jake and Kathleen. We had such a great time - I didn't even have to work on projects or read about disease states or drugs! It was fantastic. Here's me, Jake, and Kathleen on the beach...Dave is taking the picture- there's just too much of a height difference to take one of all of us without having a 5th person take the picture...

Now that Dave and I are looking forward to (hopefully) moving into our own home in the next couple of weeks, and I'll be going back to KMC (YAY!), I know we'll be busy and things will be crazy. I will miss all the extra time I have now, but then again, I always function best when life is completely hectic.
