Resident

It's been an interesting few months. I am now officially a resident, halfway through my first year. It seems like it's gone by so fast!

Highlights:

-Working for my uncle all spring.

-Singing in a benefit concert this spring in Toronto.

-Packing up my stuff, buying new stuff, collecting other stuff that had been stored in various friend's basements and garages, packing it into a uhaul, hitching my car to the truck and driving across the border to start this adventure.

-Moving into a lovely apartment that wasn't finished renovations.

-Assembling a lot of Ikea furniture.

-Getting a lovely greyhound rescue that I realized very quickly I didn't have the time or money to take care of.

-Meeting my residency class and getting to know some fantastic people.

-Catching my first babies.

-Putting my first IV into an infant.

-Getting to the hospital at 4:30 in the morning.

-Eating some great food in some world-class restaurants.

-Enjoying a long distance relationship.

-Buying finger shoes and running my first real road race (5k).

-Losing ten of the twenty pounds I gained in my ER rotation as a med student.

-Wearing a kilt at my twin sister's wedding.
