So starting July I will begin my traditional rotating internship. I am pleased with this decision. I'm still not sure what I want to pursue. I think peds but do I really want to deal with parents? I like IM but I feel you have to follow that up with a fellowship and do I really want to do another 3 years after residency? I will be 33 by that point. Which isn't old but after 3 years of college, 4 of med school, 1 of internship, and 3 of residency I think I will have reached a point where I want to be done. At least with the rotating internship I have the option of staying on in FP as a PGY2. It's a pity there's no money in primary care, but with the health care reform that has a potential to change.

It's getting cold out. And as much as I complain, I like the cold. It smells nice. And it means Thanksgiving and Christmas and snow and presents and hot cocoa and ice skating. It means the city is dressed up in lights and bows and you can't help but be outside even though your nose is cold and you can see your breath in the air.

So of course, today it wasn't so bad. Way to kill my winter glow global warming.

Dear Ben Gibbard,

I think I was a bit hasty in making medicine my calling. Before you ask, no I do not play the guitar (very well) nor do I play the drums. In fact, I don't know how to play any instrument but I do think I could play a mean tambourine. And I think DCFC could use a tambourine player. Now please don't be hasty in your decision. Talk to your bandmates, sleep on it, mull it over and then get back to me.

I'll be the one with the stack of books and a pot of coffee.

Sincerely,
Lisa

I love love LOVE Christmas music. I love 106.7 for playing nothing but Christmas music.

I just spent the past few hours doing nothing but searching for Christmas music.

Top 5 Christmas songs:

1. "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby
2. "Have yourself a merry littly Christmas" by Judy Garland
3. "Santa baby" by Eartha Kitt
4. "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" by the Chipmunks
5. "Christmas Time is Here" from a Charlie Brown Christmas

Now all I need is snow and christmas lights and hot chocolate. And a tree. And presents.

I think its time for a list.

Boooo to:
- Trip to Vegas being too long
- Trip to Vegas being too short
- Studying
- Not being able to go home for Diwali
- Never updating my LJ
- The boyfriend going to Cleveland (although Drew Carey claims Cleveland Rocks!)
- Stress making my skin breakout
- Sauce spilling on my pants this morning
- Spilling peanut butter on an envelop I needed to mail
- Typing in lists as if I'm making notes for class

Guster has a new cd? And no one thought to inform me?

Good lord I need to stop studying. It's made my priorities all wonky.


It is 10:17 and if all goes according to plan, I shall be asleep by 10:30. It will be a thing of beauty.

Oh sleep, I can never get enough of you.

My sister asked me to put this up so now I finally am.


SUPPORT THE FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER! AND MY SISTER WHO IS WALKING FOR IT! GIVE HER MONEY SO SHE CAN SAVE THE WORLD!!!

On October 7 & 8, 2005, I'll spend the weekend walking in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. I will walk at least the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles), and I may choose to walk as far as a marathon and a half. Either way, it's a very long walk. The money raised goes to the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade, a 501(c)(3) public charity whose mission is to provide access to care and to work toward finding a cure. I'm required to raise at least $1,800 to participate. Please help to support me and the breast cancer cause by making a contribution to my efforts. You can make your donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message, which will bring you right to my personal page.

Thank you for your support.
