I miss my pillow, my blanky, and my girl

Sleepy. That's how I would describe my week. I'm also excited. It's an odd mix. This week, I'm on call three times with only 2 residents helping me to run three hospital floors + ER. It's mad. I'm tired. I want my Christmas break fast. I want to be with my girlfriend and just say nothing, do nothing, and just feel happy. It's the main thing I look forward to with each passing day.

This CTU (clinical teaching unit/internal medicine) rotation has been very tiring. Although it's fun to think a lot, and finally feel like a doctor compared to other rotations - it certainly doesn't feel as homely/natural to me as pediatrics did. At least on that rotation I can be myself (childishly free). The amusing thing about the obstetrics rotation is that I'd end up reading the Births section of the newspaper. I wanted to see how many new babies were delivered by me. Now I find myself reading the obituary section to see if I recognize any of the names I saw in the hospital, hopefully not delivered vertically by me! That's the weird thing about medicine - you can see the whole life cycle in a day.

Well back to working on the lil lady's Christmas present. wee. Oh yeah, Merry Christmas to everyone!
