Forget tracks it's FOURTH YEAR

 I'm feeling great today.  Just finished 12 weeks of medicine (two in Uro + ENT) and finally free to relax.  I haven't felt especially stressed- but I did perceive this rotation as my last chance to have an impressive grade in 3rd year... and good god I've been sick of not hitting the high bars.  I don't know if I rocked this rotation shelf or not...but I do know that I spent a lot more time and energy studying than I did on other shelfs this year.  The shelf has been my major weak point.  Hold for outpatient pediatricians who just totally don't dig my style, I've had great clinical evals...

foggy day from the yum center in Feb

Off to Orlando tomorrow for whats gonna be a lovely fam vacay.  Know what I'm gonna do?  Beach Beach Lorax Harry Potter World Pool Hunger Games Wine Beer Beach.



Then I get to come back to either ripping vags, spastic bladders, or menopause. 

  6/25-7/6 - "EKG reading," highly recommended during board studying... even though I already feel pretty comfortable with EKGs after our quiz and 2 weeks of Cardiology...


7/9-7/20 - two weeks off for STEP 2 CK board exam. So important that I kill this thing.

10/15-19 - "vacation time" that I will probably have to overlap with aways

10/22-11/2 - 2 weeks elective vacation time for both away overlap and any rest I can get after 12 hard weeks home and away from home

11/5-11/16 - 2 weeks of infectious disease, recommended per UrologyMatch.com.  ID is freaking complicated, definitely one of the medicine categories (ID and Hem/Onc) that is incredibly deep and detailed (AKA I hate pharm)
 
 
early morning at the hospital

12/17-1/11 - Merry Christmas InDEED!
