Week 2 down......

Okay, so I am about to go to bed and realized "CRAP.....I haven't blogged in almost a week!!" So, this may be a little random because I have alot on my mind, but my fingers don't feel like typing. Here goes:

My 2nd call for Ob/gyn was last Sunday.....it sucked....badly!!! Got to assist in one surgery, ectopic pregnancy, which was cool to see. But NO DELIVERIES....vaginal or cesearean. Talk about a very boring day and night. I went to bed around 9:30pm....oh, I should also mention I got yelled at by the attending. Long story, but I will admit I was partially to blame.....maybe 10%. Ask me about it when you see me next and I will give you all of the play by play details!!!

This week I began training for a half marathon. While home during the Christmas break, I was reading an issue of the Fitness Magazine and my mom pointed out a 12.1 women's only marathon in Central Park the end of April. She said "You should do this!!" My first thought was "Are you crazy.....my knee would never allow it!" But, over the last few weeks I have been thinking about it because it won't seem to leave my brain. So here is my plan. Over the next 2 months I am going to gradually build up my running distance. If I can hit 12 miles by early March, then I am going to register for the race. On Friday, I ran 6.75 miles in 1 hour 9 minutes and 45 seconds. That is the most I have run in a very, very, VERY long time. And boy was I tired!!! Today, I did it again (partially why I will be passing out very shortly). I really hope I can realize this goal!!! Not only would it be fun to run a half marathon, but I can't imagine how skinny I will look come April :) :)

I am also into week 2 of my studying for Step 2. I have decided to take this April 4th. Many of my friends and fellow medical school colleagues think I am insane for taking it this early. But I figure I can take the next 3 months during Ob/Gyn and Psych to study. And, if I don't feel prepared, I can always postpone it. So far, I am doing really well on my practice exams. Unfortunately, I didn't do as much studying as I wanted to over this long weekend....but that is okay. I can make up for it this week.

I am on call tomorrow with Dane! YAY!! At least I will have someone to talk to, or complain to! Hopefully I get to see SOMETHING tomorrow. I will fill you all in later in the week.

Oh, and......I got to do my first pelvic exam on Friday all by myself!!! Although the attending was there to cheer me on (and give me little pointers). Put the speculum in....did the Pap exam...did the bimanual.....I felt like an Ob/gyn!!!

I hope everyone has a great night!!!! Take care :)
