homesick bugzz...

Shucks...the homesick bug is here again....michelle, me missing your online presence!!! Wrote you another testimonial!!! hehehe......okok....i got to clear my mind and concentrate...

Thank goodness, yuko is here soon to save me from ultimate boredome. Since, my girlfriends left me alone here, i have not had a really fun time in Calgary!!!Hence, i booked myself a ticket to Vancouver in mid-September and another for her to visit Calgary in October!!!! Vacations well-planned!!!

Internally Medicated

I can totally see why some people like internal medicine especially during teams (medical teaching unit). It does gave the satisfaction when i can link how someone got sick....take into account that person's health status...i.e injury, vascular abnormalities, electrolytes imbalance and all sort of things. In this rotation, a medical student can finally get her knowledge at work and improve their diagnosing skills! However, it's too much to bear...hehehe...even my attendings think that teams is taxing....patients getting too long to heal. And that does get to my nerves! In surgery, things just go "pak pak pak" Comes and goes quickly! Can't wait for Dr.Lafreniere to be back and for me to scrub in!

A year ago

Things have changed that i found it hard to adapt.

I knew i wouldn't really fit in this house that i am living now....the occupants of this house have got different personalities (which is normal),different hobbies (which is perfectly normal too)and different taste buds predilection (this is no weirdo as well but it matters).

Being unable to cook and make people enjoy food is something that i dislike....these two people just don't share my interest in trying out new dishes with exotic food composition nor have the same appreciation towards food.

My eating buddies had gone, and we probably will never share those times again.
Never mind, life goes on.....hm..but i do have somebody who is a reflection of myself coming to canada!!! So, that's something to look forward to!! =D

ticking of the clock

Till today, I am still wondering if I have been dreaming. I am wondering if the repeated flawless evaluations I have gotten so far commenting that my performances are outstanding are for real. I wonder if I am really that good or my preceptors are just too good/nice to be true! Those feedbacks did put me right on ‘cloud nine’ and less humble at times. However, I am still holding tight to the fact that at the end of the day, I just hope that I’ll never cause death in a human being due to negligence or carelessness.
