the last few days sure have been long ones.
wednesday: afternoon off started at 4pm. yay! a couple of hours to dash through questions before study group, which finished at 10:30pm. but at least i got to do a tummy tap, and enjoyed a lovely dinner with my study buddies - probably the only real food i've had this week!
thursday started at 7:30am with echo tutorials. ducked out at 6:15pm to go to lectures at the college. my god what a trio: forty minutes on rheumatoid arthritis delivered in a monotone; ten thousand slides on lupus which left every one much more confused than when we started; and a tedious drag through the evidence free zone that is osteoarthritis. barely managed to stay awake. back to work until 11:15pm to finish my transplant meeting presentations.
friday: the boss decides during the transplant meeting that he didnt want me to present the third case after all. i couldve gone home an hour earlier!! sigh. trudge trudge trudge through the day, then the crazy cover shift during which i received four referrals for admission plus a smattering of reviews and random ward jobs. finally got out of the place, grabbed a pie from the corner 7-eleven, only to be confronted at the tram stop by a "hey you come over here, quickly!" from three big guys with shotguns. "have you seen a forty-year old man with a white jacket and jeans in the 7-eleven?!" trams are backed up all the way up st kilda road as the cops set up a blockade. more questioning from detectives. two drunk guys holding beer bottles were "sure you were after us, you know, drinking in public. please dont shoot us, were just being dickheads" and a nervous asian woman "i feel unsafe. whats going on? can you guys escort me home?" it wouldve been hilarious if i wasnt so exhausted. had to make an hour-long detour home on foot. luckily i had michelle on the phone to guide me through the pitch black fawkner park "so you're walking alone in the middle of a park at night with a murderer on the loose?"
saturday. slept in until 11. finally gave in to the grumbling in my stomach. miso soup and udon noodles. back to bed. ahh...
