Hi everyone!

Wow, it's been a long time since i wrote an entry...

i know you all have been DYING to read what has been happening in my BORING life...

well, my research and hospital stuff has been keeping me pretty busy.  next week i start my new rotation in the outpatient clinics...  now, i feel like i am going to miss my medical team.  one of them was kind of cute and is really nice, one of them is really nice and asks me questions all the time, and one of them was a medical students and he was nice too...  well, that one resident i don't think like me still, but whatever, i am leaving on tuesday...  i think i will miss internal medicine a lot... maybe i will do another one in the spring...

today was the first day i slept for more than 6 hours... it was really really nice...  i just don't understand people who say they get "bored" in bed, always gets up early even if they had a late night... my bed is the favorite place to be... i never want to leave... aaahhhh...

i am starting to wish i had a laptop computer.... there are lots of things i need to do on my computer, but i don't necessarily want to do them at home... i found out a month a go that there is a BORDER like 5 minute drive from my house...  i would like go there, so that don't necessarily feel like a loser just being stuck at home...

Today is really sunny... i think i will go to the pool and get some sun... at first i hated the idea of going to the pool bymyself, but now, i kinda don't care...

i do have to admit, that it is kind of nice having 80's weather and sunny in september and october.  i looked at the weather back in chicago, and it is been in the 60's and 70's and even 40's at night...  however, the humidity still bothers me... not very good for my skin...

So, a week has gone by and things aren't too much different.  Is that good?  I don't know...

Just lately, I feel very home sick...  I miss my family and friends... although i don't get to talk to them as much as I would like to...

I had a dorm experience last night.  I was listening to a CD on my computer and around 9:30pm, there is a knock on my door.  mind you, hardly anyone stops by, especially at night...  I open the door and is my neighbor from upstairs.  he was all like "could you turn down the bass?"  and I was like " oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize it was so loud..."  and he's all "you are shaking the whole building" with a mean look... now, I understand that my bass may be pumping with my subwoofer, but I don't think the last comment was necessary.  I mean if he sat where I sitting, you really wouldn't have felt the bass that much... I mean that was just plain mean... plus this is the first time he has ever come by to say something, if it was 2nd or 3rd time, I could understand his anger.  finally, I know for some people 9:30 is late, but come on, it is not that late...  plus, I hardly listen to music at home.  it made me very upset.  I think I looked very apologetic, I didn't give him attitude, did he really have to give me one????

well, the weekend was good for me.  i spent relaxing time alone at home. 

a new week...

today i covered the unit/floor, which means i enter all the orders(medication orders) for the area.  for some strange reason, there were not many orders for me to enter...delightful and strange at the same time...

hopefully, this is indication that my week will a decent one...

well, the rest of the week was a little better... except the fact that my refrigerator is possessed!

So, instead of making ice, it is just squirting water in the ice bucket... so when i woke up on wednesday... sloshy sloshy... on the carpet.  Great!  i called the emergency repair and the guy turns the water off... ok solved right? NO!!!!!  i come back from work and only a little water is dribbling, i call the repair line and i was hoping they will fix the refrigerator on thursday.  still sloshy sloshy...  wake up on thursday morning, lord and behold, my kitchen is flooded again... since i called the night before, i pray that they will take care of it again...  come home from work... it is still leaking!  where is the water coming from?  i mean i saw the repair guy shut off the water source!  it just won't stop leaking!!!  now they turned off the refrigerator, i had dump a lot my food.  i go out to dinner at Ruth's Chris (supposely a great steakhouse), and my kitchen is still flooding!  It just won't stop!  Now all the ice is melting, but come on, it is ridiculous how much water soaked up on my carpet...  so today, they gave me another refrigerator (i thought they were going to give me a BRAND new one, but a used one...sucks!)  and my kitchen is still flooded.  so far they have sucked the water out of my kitchen/part of living room area like 3 times.  i think they haven't had the chance to extract the water yet... oh well...

Thank the lord, the long weekend is over.

For some of my friends who tried to call me, i was working on saturday, sunday AND monday.  YUCK!

Saturday was just horrible!  It was the busiest the pharmacy was ever was or something... i just wanted to cry and never come back again... i completely wanted to go back to chicago... very tough weekend...

So... today was the first day of my new rotation, internal medicine.  HORRIBLE first day!  i swear, only to me...

first of all, i woke up late, at 8am, i was suppose to meet up with my preceptor at 7:30.  GREAT! 

Then at noon conference (where medical residence and interns gather and have lectures on specific topics...)  i sat by myself while we were eating(which i couldn't eat since i was really really self-conscious).  then the stupid attending physician starting lecturing, actually really starting a discussion on antibiotics... OF COURSE he had to look at me and say "pharmacy" like 5 times whenever he asked a question...  AND OF COURSE i didn't know the answer and i totally looked like a loser and a dummy!  i was so shocked that he asked me a question, i couldn't EVEN guess!  It was really embarrasing...  plus there were like 20+ residents/interns there...  now they are all going to think that i am a stupid pharamcy resident... i mean the attending even said " what do they teach in pharmacy school?"  I DON'T KNOW!!!!

crappy, crappy day... crappy crappy life...
