Just a quickie...

It's past my bedtime.

Today I observed a bone marrow biopsy. Yay for my preceptor's husband being a pathologist at the hospital (he is the one I observed)...gets me the total "in."

Today's outpatient work was less boring than usual, for some reason. Perhaps it was because there were no PAPs to do...a miracle, really.

I also met the new med student (who took my apt), today. She is actually pretty nice, around my age, and she looked so nervous on her first day. She is doing a 6 week family practice rotation with the doc who drilled me on MY first day (a tough guy, but good doc). I told her I'd leave her a note at her apartment with my phone number, and that we should go out to dinner or something. Hoping she will let me crash in the 2nd room of her apt. next week until another apartment opens up on the 18th, which I will be able to stay at until the end of my rotation. Mrs. Administrative-ruining-my-life mentioned that she talked to the student about it and she will more than likely be ok with having a roomie. Looks like I may avoid living in the hospital after all...(I feel slightly bad for all my bitching...).

Got invited to go out with the docs next weekend...the aforementioned husband of my preceptor is in the Navy reserves and got some fancy promotion, so we are all going to some small town near here called Chinook and going bar hopping to celebrate. Should be unbelievably interesting. I will be the youngest person there by at least 20 years. Mrs. Administrative-ruining-my-life is coming...perhaps we can patch things up over some drinks.

Quick note: CJ told me today that he joined our homeowner's association board of directors. How grown up is that? I'm so proud!

Tomorrow is a short day, and then on Thursday and Friday my preceptor is gone. One of the days I will be spending with the radiologist looking at CT scans, MRIs and x-rays that look like gobbly-gook to me (hence why I'm spending the day learning with him). The next day I will spend with the other Dr. Latkovich in the pathology lab, looking at more gobbly-gook I don't understand under the microscope.

This was supposed to be quick....on my way to bed.

Two days until there are only 3 weeks left!!!!!!!!!!!!
