Welcomed the new year at milsons point with sydney fireworks. Got a new house in Albury to rent for the year. Moving in with emily whos also doing med in my year.
To do: organise a med elective, move house again, get ready for 5th year.. yuck, im in the medicine equivalent of year 11. getting serious i guess. I cheer my self up by pretending that all the episodes of house ive been watching count as 'study'..

Long time no post.
what have I been doing the past month or so??
Finished a group project on cannabis use in indigenous australians.
spent a weekend at the snow with wodonga baptist! yay
spent a week in sydney. great to catch up with everyone.
Now Im back doing obstetrics and Gynaecology.
Saw one birth. one C section and one hysterectomy.
gross and messy. but i guess its not something that everyone gets to do.

got 7 weeks left in albury this year. . . and plenty of assignments and exams to keep me busy.
also got a job at target this week. about time you say???

Annoying things to do on a car trip:
-tap
-click
-poke people sitting in front of you
-bang on the chair in front of you
-put other peoples headrests down
-tighten seat belts
-lean chairs backwards

WELCOME TO WAGGA
the welcoming committee put on a glamourous dinner for all new medical professionals and students. there was about 60 people and lots of great old surgeons to talk to. some up to 80 years old. fun times, good food, free drinks.
