May 12... Unfreakin'believable!

I've definitely hit a lull, study-wise; a real case of "senioritis" though I'm neither a senior, nor nearing the end of a year. I hit the video store recently and got out waaaaay too many dvds, but what's worse, Once and Michael Collins has given me a bad case of travel-fever. (Or, more specifically, Irish fever!)

I am currently lacking any desire to study. I am currently lacking any fear of failing (which should be worrying in and of itself as one needs a certain degree of "healthy" fear). I am currently utterly lacking in motivation, full stop.

This is not good.

I've got three weeks left of orthopaedics.

(I am secretly hoping I'm sick because then at least I'd have an infallible excuse to do nothing.)

On another note, the orthopaedic surgeon I'm attached to for this run is a spinal specialist and scrubbing in on his surgeries is pretty freakin' unbelievable. Monday I was in theatre for five hours for a Scoliosis case which was, there is no other way to describe it but, EPIC. We did a posterior fusion all the way from T3 - L3 and the whole thing was utterly SURREAL. I wish I had time to sit down and write it all down, to commit it to paper, it was that kind of experience. But for now suffice it to say it was most definitely one for the record books!
