today I got paid less than minimum wage... and you probably did too, lol

Despite an overwhelming desire to write, write and then write some more about what's been going on lately, I find myself unexpectedly (or not so unexpectedly?) pressed for time!! The Paeds department here was notorious for their assignments/presentations/etc during 5th year and TI year I'm afraid is little different. So in between working on one of four presentations I have to give during this four-week run, not to mention an oral test, AS WELL AS on-calls, I'm finding it a bit difficult to (a.) be sociable, and (b.) get some quality time to jot down my thoughts. A bit frustrating but to be honest, I'm too physically exhausted to care right now. After all weekend on-call, and then back in the hospital this morning to do a blood test before 8am handover, all I want to do is get into bed and sleep.

If the point of Intern year is to give us a taste of what life is like after graduation I believe I am starting to understand... and, well, I have a year to mentally prepare myself for a life of physical exhaustion. LoL But still, no regrets. There is joy in suffering... fo sho.

Okay... back to the literature search on carbohydrate counting. Oi vey.
