Almost over

I haven't updated for a while, not because I've been too busy, it's just that my life is quite boring lately. But good-boring, heh, if that can be said.

I've finished most of my exams and I'm kinda just hangin'. The 2 exams I had last Wednesday went quite well. The doctor in charged of that subject decided to give us an early Christmas present and made the Pharmacology section extra-easy. So it went well.

On Thursday I had a Public Health exam with a doctor who seems like his hundredth birthday is just around the corner. As always, no one knew what to study, and to be honest I didn't even bother to read my notes. The test ended up being about some Ob Gyn clinical scenario -please note that we studied Ob Gyn almost 2 years ago in a totally unrelated course- in which we had to evaluate the actions taken by all the departments involved (Family Medicine, ER, Ob Gyn). Why did is he asking this, appeared to be general question since the syllabus for the course was basically biostatistics, epidemiology concepts, and such. But hell, I didn't stress about it much, mainly because the doctor usually grades me fairly well but also because after Wednesday 2-exam combo I just didn't care much about anything. I'm completely burn out. I really need some vacations, and sleep, a lot of sleep.

On Friday my roomie and I went to the Red Cross. One of the docs there is a former teacher and friend of ours. We sort of helped out sorting the drugs to be sent to Tabasco for the injured by the flood over there and played doctor for a while. We saw some bloody and gross cases. One was a fifty-something male who had amputated and severed various fingers with an electric saw. Jeez! It looked ugly! We transferred him to a bigger hospital with Plastic Surgery so he could get Surgery to try and keep most of the functionality of his hand. Poor guy, I felt bad we couldn't do much for him, but hopefully he ended in much better hands. We also saw this old guy with TB. I was quite reluctant to examine him, because I'm sure he was soooo contigious at that moment. I swear, I could almost see an aura of mycobacterium tuberculosis around him! I know this probably makes me a none-so-good doc, but hey! I rather live with that, than live with TB! I'm so not into infectious diseases, or really sick people for what that matters. Anyways, the morning at the Red Cross was fairly productive. We learned some stuff that will come handy next year while we rotate. So kudos for that!

That same day I also cleaned my house. Not all of it, but almost. At least the bathroom and kitchen are acceptably clean. I'm happy about it. I've come to realize that I'm very much of a freak when it comes to cleaning. I blame my mother for it. Let me get this straight, I don't like cleaning, yet I love it when things are clean. I, as everybody else in the world, hate cleaning the bathroom, however I get this strange satisfaction when I see the sparkling whiteness of my bathroom hehe. I now, I am that weird. So anyways, I don't really mind cleaning my house, basically because I believe its a small price to pay to see everything shiny and pretty, but also because I let my OCD-self free while I'm at it. I can get pretty obsessive when I clean. Anyways, what I hate most about cleaning, is that people just don't seem to even acknowledge the cleanliness of things and they don't even bother to try and keep things that way. I mean, all the plates are washed, the table is clean, and he comes anyone and just leaves a dirty plates on the table, or get crumbles on my recently-broomed floor. Grrr! It gets on my nerves, because I'm a freak like that.

Anyways...

Later that day a friend of mine arrived and we went to have dinner with her. She's staying at my place so we stayed up until very late yesterday catching up and just girl-talking.

I'm supposed to drive she and her boyfriend to a concert so I gotta go.
