My Fall Back

Well I'm on my internal medicine inpatient wards month now and I must say, it's pretty challenging. I'm lucky to be part of a great program with very supportive residents and attendings who are patient advocates. Medicine is so much more humane that way. Now that I'm working pretty long hours, it's hard to find the time to do anything fun outside of work. I basically come home, eat, and sleep. Once in a blue moon I go to the gym but with the rain I find it harder and harder to drag myself out the door to make the 5 or so blocks down to the 24 hour fitness.

Fall always makes me reminisce of the past. For example, with Thanksgiving coming up, I think about going back to Macon to my parents house to my old familiar room. Sleeping in and calling up old high school friends that I've lost touch with. We used to have a tradition of playing tackle football with a ton of people every Thanksgiving break. A few times we even had huge Thanksgiving pot lucks at a friend's house in the boonies. I miss you guys if you're reading this and I wish we kept in better touch. Those were the days. I miss the smell of the Georgia autumn. I miss college in the fall too. I can still see the UGA buses coming over the hill packed out with students wearing red and black while walking to my favorite dining hall to indulge in 3,000 calories post Ramsey Center work out with my buddies. I miss watching the football games at Sanford Stadium and making the trek down to Jacksonville, FL for the great throw down between our bitter reptilian rivals. I even miss my parents farm, waking to the smell of my mom's cooking and going outside to play with Google or watch my dad tend to the horses. Although I hated Augusta, I do appreciate my nice cozy house and having so many of my friends close by. Seattle is great and all, but Georgia will always on my.....thoughts.

I will leave you with a taste of a Seattle Fall sunset from the roof of my apartment
