back to work with a vengeance

so much for being a vegetable. things are busier than ever - and boy its fun!

ive signed up for not one but two research projects. so lots of reading around the subject and learning (and re-learning) random things like how to do a pivot table and apply for ethics approval. and ive just realised why im enjoying this so much - its because i work better when there are concrete goals. like an essay or a mini-assignment. abstract, open-ended tasks like "studying for the fracp exam" are just hopeless for me. but i dont have to do that ever again! yay!

on top of the projects, i have my interview with the vpmtp panel tomorrow. and then job applications, house hunting and also trying to get through all the other chores ive put off for four months - tax, salary packaging, sorting through the mess of paper in my room.

im revelling in the promise of tomorrows. how long can this last?

the end of the beginning

so i passed the fracp. big deal. now what do i do?

just kidding.

IT'S BLOODY FANTASTIC!!!

for various reasons, but most of all:

1. i don't have to do another twelve months of this

2. i didn't let laila down

3. i don't have to feel guilty about not knowing anything other than palliative care ever again.

sure i have six months of general medicine to go. but it doesn't really bother me too much. i can come home and be a vegetable in front of the tv without feeling guilty! oh it's just so good...
