Little Bundles

Work:
I'm moving from Obs to Delivery Suite this week (aka, Baby catching). The good news is that I'm on a decent shift from 3pm-11pm. It won't mess up my sleep-wake cycle too much. Plus, I'm a morning person. I'll get up, run, eat, study, nap, then head into work. The only problem is the conflict with the evening meetings (and such) that people kindly schedule for after 6pm... Oh well. Here's hoping I see some cool stuff, and deliver a few babies.

I've been struggling to set up summer electives so far, but I've recently made contact with a wonderful, helpful surgeon in Mpls... and (fingers crossed) I may get to be home for August. I'm so excited! I'm actually trying not to get my hopes up. If it falls through, I'll be up a creek. So keep me in your prayers, eh?

Surg Soc:
Managed to get myself elected for another year of running SurgSoc. The elections were far less of a disappointment than last year, and I'm thinking we can do even more stuff for 2009-2010. Here's hoping. The Inaugural is fast approaching and I'm feeling the crunch, but it should be a fantastic event! Mr. Barry O'Donnell is going to speak and he sounds absolutely brilliant.

Running:
I managed to finally find a new Running Journal and it's sitting in a post office waiting for me to pick it up (or rather, me waiting for the post office to be open so I can pick it up). It's the same one I have from last year, but I'm pretty pumped to get a new one. It keeps me honest, and it makes me accountable... It's an accountability partner without the same interpersonal guilt.

I've also (perhaps unwisely) registered for the Flora Mini Marathon (a 10k race on June 1... right in the middle of exams). But, it'll give me a reason to keep running through the stress. Here's to getting in shape!
