Random Stuff/Updates

So it's been awhile.

Things are going great I suppose.

Currently in the call room. They're aren't any patients in the ER right now which means I get to lay down and try to sleep. I'm kind of ready to be done with residency. I mean things are going great. I'm just kind of ready to be out on my own I guess. I hate having to be on call and working weekends. I also feel like I've reached a point where I'm able to make my own clinical decisions. There are times where my attending makes me prescribe certain meds and order tests that I don't agree with. I guess it's a sign that I'm learning/growing and developing my own practice style. However, there's still a ton of things I still need to learn.

Ummmmm, what else..... Oh. I've been trying to take better care of myself. Finally went to the dentist since I have free dental insurance now. Found out that I have 12 cavities and that I need a root canal!!!! It's all because I didn't floss since all my cavities are interproximal. SMH.

I've also started working out a little bit more and eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. I figured I should try to practice what I've been preaching to my patients.

I'm also struggling to read more books. Man, I remember back in the day I could read a whole novel in a few hours. Now I struggle to get through 2 chapters. My first goal is to re-read the Great Gatsby before the movie comes out. I really hope I can finish it. I have a habit of getting half way through a book and then I'll just throw it aside and start reading another one. I also started reading Madame Bovary, Chocolat, and this other book my Maya Angelou. I failed to finish reading a single book. I need to do better.

Still single, but not worried. My aunty called me like 3 days ago asking me if I was talking to anyone. I said no, and she proceeded to ask my why. She literally told me that she is scared for me because time is "passing by". SMH. I told her to calm down. I am not rushing into anything. My husband will come when God says it is time, and I am not going to force myself to be with anyone just so that I can get married. I remember like 2 months ago at church, almost 6 people asked me about why I was still single. I just need everyone to calm down. I'm not worried, so they shouldn't be either.

I mean, yes I want to get married. No one really wants to be alone, but I understand how important it is to choose wisely. Four years ago I remember I was crying and begging God to bring me a boyfriend ASAP! For some reason, I felt that I needed a boyfriend to make it through medical school. Well God didn't listen to my foolishness and I'm glad. I have gone under a serious transformation physically, emotionally, and spiritually in the past few years. In these last 4-5 years feel like I've finally started on the path that God intended me to be on.  I appreciate my singlehood. I realize now that back then I just wasn't ready for a relationship. Am I ready now? Maybe.

Oh yea, my little sister got into medical school!! She'll be going to the same school I graduated from.

Yea.

I think that's it for now.
