turning over a new leaf

the second day of a new beginning. let's see how long this period of reinvention lasts. after the hiatus that was the rural health module, i must admit i feel excited to be back at the royal melbourne hospital, with the promise of seeing real patients and learning about real medicine again in the emergency department. with exactly seven months until graduation, there is no better time than now to shift gears. there is so much to learn and relearn until i can feel comfortable enough to step into the role of an intern, whereever i end up in january next year. my pristine 16th edition of harrison's looks more inviting now than it ever has - i'm sure that will wear off in about two minutes. on a personal level, having decided to move on from the momentary giddiness of the last few days, i need distractions - lots of it, whereever i can find it. any ideas?

both lou and baz have recently started new blogs online. i love discovering new things about people i thought i had pigeonholed. they're both intelligent people with a great deal of common sense - probably two of the most with it people i know, who seem to have things together and under control, comfortable with their intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships. how refreshing it is to find that they too subject themselves to barrages of self-criticism and doubt. i suppose it means i'll have to give up these habits as excuses for my uncontrollable mood swings. no more excuses for sinking down to the bottom. bummer!

there's a new home for the shrine, kids: http://shrinetogroupa.blogspot.com/

The speed of approach of D-day is absolutely harrowing. ED is out of the frying pan right into the hothothot fire, coming from Rural. It's a bit of a rude shock, I agree. But one that's very much needed. It's about time. Even if the few hours on are enough to wear me out. Sheesh, I've turned into such a wuss. :P
The end of the world is coming. Run away!
