The Bird in Flight

Been a while.  Okay, I felt kind of profound tonight, and so I started writing, but I just couldn't organize my thoughts.  Tired.  So here's a pic.

Mark, where are you?

Anyways, so year 4 hasn't been the amazing experience I was promised.  Too bad.  It's not all that bad though, and I have to say, it's nice not being a third year anymore.  I miss all my friends though, and I miss having a team composed of my classmates.  Fourth year seems to be full of rotations where I'll be the only person in my class on that rotation.  Ugh.

It's funny though, how so many of the new third year students fear their upcoming surgery rotations.  I remember mine fondly, as it was the only rotation I was part of a big team.  There were seven of us from my class, and we worked together day in and day out for two months.  Sure, it was a lot of hours, and a lot of blood, sweat and tears.  It was still pretty incredible.  It was the rotations like family medicine, where I would never see my friends at work, that were the tough rotations.  I don't know how people do it.

And now a whole year of this.  Weird.  Anyways, I better get some sleep.  Tomorrow starts my only full weekend off for this rotation.  Maybe some studying.  Definitely some time hanging out with friends.
