life on the other side of the degree.

after several several weeks of vacation, i've begun orientation for my residency. we have a little over a week left of orientation before people begin to ask us questions and expect us to know answers. that thought gets scarier every moment. every single moment. we've had a few days of computer training, got our new handheld computers, talked about benefits and schedules. and somehow filled almost an entire week with meetings. my fellow interns and i went out yesterday after work to george brett's for happy hour. it was fun. tonight was a picnic with a bunch of the attending physicians and senior residents. it was also fun. and dr mcdreamy was there. in all of his beautiful glory. and he came up behind me and put his hand on my back... at which point i turned around. speechless. because i didn't even know he was there - he came pretty late, and i was actually thinking about heading out when - sweet beautiful mcdreamy was touching me. he stood next to me in the circle of people and we chatted for about 20 minutes, then he went and talked to a bunch of the older residents for a couple minutes and then he left. i'm certain that he came just to see me. ;-) h.o.t. so h.o.t. that i almost can't think of anything else to say...

except that, i start working july 1st for real. and YIKES!! i'm on CALL! and then i'm on call on july 4th - as my "minor holiday" for the year... it'll be good to get that out of the way. and then i'm on call on that saturday... 3 times in one week... YIKES... and did i mention that i start in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit - ie, little bitty sick babies)... YIKES!! so, i'll uh, talk to you later. like in august. of 2010. ;-)
