New Beginnings

Today I moved back to Springfield for another set of rotations. Three months of internal medicine are behind me with a paltry bit of knitting that I can't even show you because I'm not sure that the recipient of said knitting has gotten it yet. I did manage a small bit of knitting over the weekend in between packing and meeting up with people and lunch and such things. But I forgot to pack my camera so I can't even take advantage of all of the windows in my room and take some pictures for you. I know...I am a bad knit-blogger...but med school is totally eating my life right now.

Speaking of med school, I just submitted my rank list for the lottery for next year's rotations. I've decided that I'm going to go for General Surgery internship and residency so there's a lot of surgery planned for next year. I got a very good number for the lottery so things should turn out at least half-way decent (I'm not even going to try to explain how the whole system works because the computer science majors in my class tend to find the algorithm "elegant" and other such words that mean "way too hard for anyone else to figure out."

As for right now? I'm starting my Neurosurgery rotation tomorrow...hopefully it'll be lots of fun. Baystate is a trauma center and the main referral hospital for western Mass so that should help keep things interesting at least. Alright...time for all good little med students to get to bed. Hope you're all having a lot more knitting time than I am!!
