1 Year Old

Dear Caila Bear

How are you 1 year old already!?!?!? Haha. Time just flew by. I am currently on an advance internal medicine rotation so aunt Lilly is watching you most days. In the last two weeks, you have started to walk on your own. Unfortunately, you are now fighting all your naps. Thank goodness you still go to bed easily at night and sleep 12 hours straight!

We have advanced your diet. You now drink 6oz whole milk 3x a day. You also have learned to poop on the toilet (for the most part). It’s such a delight watching you learn new things. Watching you makes me sad that I won’t have as much time with you next year but I am going to milk these last few months of MS4. We have 2 really fun trips planed in March and then I have to do one more hard rotation in April but if I match here, we will be staying close to all our family and friends.


Anyways, you continue to surprise us every day with how clever you are. About a month ago, you figured out how to open the baby gate! 3 weeks ago, you learned to go down the stairs by yourself, and everytime you see a dinosaur, you grrrrr. You still love your cousins and take great interest in Jo Jo. You get REALLY unset when others are eating and you are not. Haha, perhaps you take after me.

You are as cute as ever and I love you lots

Love

Mom

Done!!!!

So I finally took the beast today and I guess it wasn't as epic as I though it would be. In my mind, it had been a life or death situation. I literally dreamed about it countless times last week. All in all, I have to say that I'm feeling pretty shitty right now. I just hope I passed and with a decent enough score to get into residency. Yuck. I keep thinking about all the questions I missed. Things I should of known (and did at one point) like the difference between positive sensing and negative sensing RNAs etc. I "lucked" out with a ton of pelvic anatomy questions and a ton of repro questions but luckily, I had studied for repro using pathoma. I do think I failed every anatomy question though....sigh...here's to praying that it all works out in the end... I guess I have never felt good after standardized exams. I'm not particularly good at them...SAT gave me nightmares, MCATs made me cry...at least I didn't cry after the test today lol. My family la...

Bottom

I knew coming into grad school would be hard but I didn't think it would be this hard. Perhaps it's me putting too much pressure on myself but I just hate disappointing people. Lately, with the lack of sleep comes a new onset of worries...will I be good enough? Am I going to be able to carry a project on my own? Crap I don't understand anything! Crap there won't be anyone to explain it to me! etc If anyone has been in a lab long enough, they know the success of a project is one part hard work, one part luck, and one part who you know so I'm trying to tred carefully and not piss anyone off. This is very tiring. Sometimes, I feel like I should wear a sign that says "Harmless idiot". lol On a different note, my glasses broke so I am wearing my contacts now...I'm not sure how I like them. On the one hand, it is convenient esp when I run/bike but I look really weird. I guess I just need to get use to it and have people around me stop gawking. At the en...

What goes down must come up?

I've had a couple of bad days starting with my first journal club on Tuesday where I got grilled by my PI. I know it's his style and everything but I just felt SO stupid! Even when he asked me things I knew, I got intimated and had trouble coming up with the answer. The most embarrassing thing is that I cried. Not just like a teardrop either. Sigh. I think all the stress built up and resulted in a flood much like when the Baymeadow dam broke....guess I will have to try harder next time. In addition, I got my Step 1 score back. It was really disappointing. I passed but got about average....I guess I'm good at being average. Haha...this post is a downer too. Sorry...guess it's just been super rough lately. Hopefully my presentation next Wednesday will be better....but seeing as my computer keeps shutting down without saving my powerpoint changes, who knows when I'll be able to complete this. I pray for a better post soon!
