Various and Sundry
Feb. 23rd, 2010 12:52 pmI don't know why I am updating now as I only have a few minutes before I head to my clinical site. I am having to increasingly add hours as I cannot count any hours when I am seeing adults. Hindsight is 20/20 and I really should have done my peds rotation last semester when the flu hit...LOL. I saw many, many pediatric patients then. I understand the rule but as participating pediatricians are hard to comeby, most are like me and have to complete the pediatric hours in a family practice setting.
I do like my preceptor, though as he LOVES to teach and challenges me every day I am there. Plus, he is totally into "watch one do one" so that is an added bonus. I have decided that the more hours the better in terms of experience but, with my work schedule, it leaves even less time to study and work on papers.
So, I have been recording the Olympics and trying to remain unspoiled about the events I am really interested in. However, you can't be on the internet and not be spoiled as I saw first thing this am that Canada's Virtue and Moir won the gold! That was a great choice as their original dance had me riveted to the screen! Awesome! Davis and White had me similarly enthralled but I did feel that Virtue and Moir had the better program in the original dance. I'll probably still watch the free dance even though I have been spoiled.
The only other TV I have been watching is FRINGE. I netflixed season one. I LOVE Walter and some of the things he says and does but, even though I like Olivia, it seems that the show is ALL about her. I would actually like to see some of the other characters developed. I thought that would be the case as the season developed but here I am close to the end of the season and every episode is still all about Olivia. Maybe that will change as times goes on. I don't know why this is vaguely annoying me as I do think her character is compelling and Anna Torv is terrific. Anyway, I do have enough interest at this point to keep watching but I suspect my annoyance might continue to grow if it doesn't even out a bit.
Oops, I better get going or I am going to be late.
