Intern Year - check

Very happy to announce I officially survived intern year! And even happier to announce that 2nd year is infinitely better. Okay, so I'm only 3 weeks in, but so far it has been amazing. This month I'm on clinic/research which translates into clinic Monday-Wednesday, 3 hours of call during the week, and 2 weekends off this month. Thursday and Friday I'm supposed to be doing my research. Emphasis on the "supposed to" part. So far I've been brainstorming. But mostly I've been sleeping late and catching up on all the television and neglected household chores I've been doing over the last year. Speaking of which, have you seen New Girl? With Zooey Deschanel? It is hilarious. Finished season 1 of that and have started watching Smash now. I've also had time to cook a few meals this month. That happened approximately twice during intern year. I still get nervous before call but it's only because I feel a little rusty on L&D. Hadn't done a section in 4 or 5 months before my 1st 24 hour L&D call this month but it's just like riding a bike. Came back instantaneously. So far the transition from "baby intern" 12 hour shift call (which honestly always turned into 16 hour shifts for me) to "big girl" 24 hour call has not been bad. I think that's because my schedule has been so light during the week that I go into call pretty well rested. Enough of work stuff... Other exciting things that are happening: Signed up to run "The Color Run" in New Orleans this fall. It's a 5k where you are required to where a white shirt and at each kilometer you are splashed with a different color corn starch. There's about 12 of us from our residency going (including some attendings!) so it should be a good time seeing everyone look ridiculous. Also signed up to run the MS Blues 1/2 Marathon in January. Nervous about this one! Have a lot of training to do before then. I ran probably 4 times my entire intern year. Time to get back on the wagon. Started back this week. Ran 2.0 miles Monday and walked/ran 3.0 miles yesterday. Planning to do some either yoga or pilates tonight. Weight is essentially the same as when intern year started (lost 13 lbs, then gained 10 back), but now I'm just flab all over instead of muscle! The most exciting thing going on right now is that my sister is expecting :) She's just over 34 weeks now and we are all so pumped. 1st grandchild for my Mom. This will make my 3rd niece, but the first one from my sister. Also expecting my first nephew this August as well. (sister-in-law). Very very exciting time for our families. Hope everyone else is doing well. Planning to update this thing a little more this year.
