long absence

Hi there internet! I'm still here ... I know I've been absent for what? almost month! Jeez! Time goes by real fast when you're procrastinating a post... You know, I could make up a hundred different excuses for me not posting, but heck, whose got that kind of time. Besides, I can see you did just fine without me, so why bother with lame stories which will basically consist on me playing the busy and overworked Medstudent card?

The worst part of going so long without posting is that so much has happed that I don't really know where to start, also there's this thing where I forget most of what happens and specially the order in which the little stuff I do manage to remember happened. So, I'll just begin with my Mama's visit.

Last week, -Hmmm... or was it the week before that? I'm not sure... well, at some point during my month's absence- my mother came visiting. I loved it. I was so nice to have someone around to take care of me. I really needed to be pampered, and she brought food! Yay! However, since life apparently is a bitch, something bad also happened during her visit. My car broke down... it was something about her transmission, suspension or whatnot. The thing is, my mother had to take care of it, and take her to the mechanic and all that lousy crapp cars make you do when they get messed up like mine did. Poor mother. One of the reasons I wanted her to come was so she could have some time to rest and catch up on her reading and studying. But instead she had to deal with this. Anyways, I really thank her for doing it, because I cannot imagine having done it myself. So at the end I saw only very little of her, but I hope she'll come again in June or July. It was so sad taking her to the airport, I really miss her. I mean, I miss all my family, my dad, my brother and my sisters, but my mama is the one I miss the most. I really like talking to her, and I know she likes talking to me too. You see, she's a doctor too, but until recently she was a stay-home mother. So I feel like right know that she's working again, she is very excited that I'm studying Medicine, and that she gets to study it at the same time as me. She loves telling me about her patients. It's like this thing that she can only share with me. It's nice to have that.

Well, so that happened. What else? Mmm... I'm still hating Internal Medicine. Well, maybe even more now that a friend of mine is my resident. So the first month of the rotation, my R1 was a former student of my school. A really easy-going guy, who coincidentally happens to be dating one of my friends. I really like him, and being on call with him and the rest of my team was kinda fun. But now, my R1 is a friend of mine that used to be my "teacher" during 1st year Medschool. I really like him, and he is a very good friend of mine, but he has made me come to realize why friendship and work should not be mixed. Grrrrr! I don't know what it is, but he is driving me crazy, and I know I'm driving him crazy too. Besides, that whole internist Vs. surgeons rivalry is real, not just on Scrubs. So he's always complaining that I hang too much with them. Arghh! Anyways, I'm going to not talk about this anymore.

What else? Mmm... see, that's why I hate going so long without posting. I have completely forgotten everything that has happened this past month. I hate my lack of short term memory. I cannot even remember what I ate yesterday. I have to start doing sudoku or something to wake up all my sleeping neurons.

Well, if I remember anything else I'll post it. Because I know you must be all, what? a month without a post and all she could come up is her car dying, her mom visiting and her life becoming a Scrubs episode?
