Last Weeks in the West

As I slowly wind down my time in Central California, I think about the fond memories of this place. The long, early hours at KMC playing the role of incompetent medical student. It was fun while it lasted, but now it is time to move on. Some of me will miss this place. Mainly, the ice and roller rink. Actually, that just might be the only thing. It will be tough to be in Philly on my own for a few months, but I'll try to make the best of it while I transition into my first real physician role (and first paying job in almost 30 years).

Before I go, there is a trip to Yosemite in the works for this coming weekend. We rented out an awesome house on the water outside the park with 5 bedrooms and a pool table. I'm really looking forward to using it when we get in. It will be nice to have some unadulterated time with my family before I go.

In more current news, my students are wrapping up their finals this weeks, so that means longer, more frantic hours. I've had to sacrifice my time (and one hockey game), but I do like teaching and I feel like I'm helping them out, so it's probably worth it in the long run for both parties. I'm sure they're looking forward to Summer and sleeping in.
