I'm moving on down to Corpus...

...at least for 6 weeks. So I'm finally at the point in my medical school career where I'm required to do an away rotation. I've been dreading/excited about it for awhile now... excited because I've heard it's one of the best places to do a pediatric rotation (which is still what I think I want to do!) and dreading it because Stephen will still be here in Fort Worth :(

I keep telling myself that maybe being away in an unfamiliar place will be good for me; plenty of time to study (we'll see how that goes!) with fewer distractions, and time to start that ever elusive work-out schedule! So, if you're ever even remotely near the Corpus Christi area, please stop by and visit me. At least I'll be there with some really nice people from my class. I hope I do well and am able to tell if this is what I want to do with the rest of my life!

In other exciting news... we took our Internal Medicine shelf this afternoon, so that's one more test behind us! This officially marks the end of the first half of my third year of medical school, which is actually a kind of frightening thing to think about, ay yi yi.

And I just had yet another conversation with the incompetent people who work at Skypass Travel... once I mentioned wanting to speak with the manager, they were very motivated to help me... interesting isn't it?! I looked them up on the Better Business Bureau website and found out that they've had a few complaints, one almost idential to my own; interesting. Please avoid them at all costs for your own sanity! I hate arguing with people, especially over the phone. These are the moments I wish I had a personal assistant. I hate confrontation but I'm beginning to learn that it is sometimes a necessary part of being an "adult" and getting things done.

Well, I'm off to finish packing for the ski/anniversary trip to Colorado! Can you believe we've already been married one year, I can't! I hope everyone has a happy and safe Christmas and New Year :)
