I'm doing a terrible job of updating this blog but life is busy and when it's not busy the last thing I want to do is sit here and type about how busy it is. I guess this blog didn't end up being as amusing as my old Xanga. Maybe I've matured or maybe through the years that I've blogged I learned that maybe I just don't want to share that much anymore. I look back on the Xanga and sometimes I can't believe the things that I wrote about. I must admit I did have to delete some posts awhile back so it's not as personal anymore.
Well I figure some of my old friends are wondering what I'm up to. I've done quite a few rotations since I last blogged, such as dermatology, medicine wards, general surgery, thoracic surgery, pulmomary medicine, and now I'm on vascular surgery. I can't believe I only have a few more months left in my intern year. Next up is ER, neurology, general surgery again, and then end with a bang on medicine wards. My program is pretty sweet.
Enough medicine.
I've had a few vacations since also. So far in my intern year I've gotten to visit San Francisco, Vancouver BC, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Portland pretty frequently. That's the best thing about living on the left coast is that most of my favorite cities are a couple of hours away by plane. Vancouver BC and Portland could be day trips if I really wanted to drive back and forth. So life in Seattle is good. The question is if I will stay here after residency. It all depends on the job outlook and if I want to do a fellowship. I would definitely want to stay on the west coast afterwards regardless but would love a chance to do a fellowship in Boston at one of the Harvard programs. Ok seriously no more medicine talk.
I got a bike so I'm looking forward to cruising the waterfront when the rain stops. I'm giving up snow boarding this season (maybe forever) because my back is jacked up. Kind of depressing but the pain that I went through isn't worth a few runs down the mountain. My next goal is to do my taxes (for the first time) and study for Step 3 to get it done with. I am going to Taiwan in April with my entire family (first time since I was like 6) to visit my grandma and the motherland. Hopefully my brother will be able to visit Seattle beforehand. I'm also hoping to visit Cartegena, Columbia and Maui, Hawaii later this year. Lots of stuff to look forward to!
