Orienting

Well, I survived our two-day orientation to third year and I am still absolutely clueless as to how this year is going to go. I'm not the only one, though, so I guess we're all in it together. It was a little sad to be back in class without Chris (and all my other MDPhD friends) there, but I think he's finally found a lab where he's happy and enjoys working. I still have absolutely no idea where to go on Monday morning, where to be, what to wear, what to bring, etc, but I've got my fingers crossed that I will be "in the loop" at least by the end of today.

Tomorrow is scut monkey day, an orientaton of sorts held by the now-4th year students. They teach us what we really need/want to know, like how to tie knots, start central lines, etc. Then, our group is having dinner together and I think it'll be really fun!

I need to think of some really awesome stuff to do on my last weekend of freedom!

On another note - I've started another blogger page for my recipes! It's http://bymouthasneeded.blogspot.com/ and don't make fun of me for the name. I was going to write "po prn" (which means "by mouth as needed" but in doctor-language) to be a big nerd, but "poprn" looks a lot like "porn" which made me a little uncomfortable to have it as the name of my recipes, you know? And I can't take entire credit for the name, Christopher is the real nerd who helped come up with it.

Anyway, I think after all that orientation I need a nap. I need to get rested up before I go catch babies!
