Cruising on autopilot & Next Year's Schedule

Kind of going through the motions more than anything these days. Which I think is ok. There really isn't that much going on, and try as I might, I can't bring myself to get extra projects done.. I'm suppose to be doing this 2 week elective in radiology, interventional radiology. 2 days would have been plenty, 2 weeks is just damn painful. I kind of just float around the radiology department popping in here and there to observe. Well, ok, not just the radiology department. I did manage to pop into Costco and then the grocery store yesterday, and then popped home and to the gym. I justified it on the basis that after 39 hours of work responsibility, I was free to go...

So, I had these grandiose plans to come home and read up on some nagging topics (what is the outcome in lichen planus), do some practice questions for my next board exam, read a few journals. Yeah, I took a nice nap, instead...

This is my free weekend, the last one til June. Does it seem ridiculous that I was going to go away this weekend? I was torn between driving somewhere (Philly, Burlington, Montreal, NY), or backpacking. Instead I'm going to chill out this weekend and get caught up on social engagements.

My Schedule (including vacations)

May-medicine wards (6 days a week, don't expect to see much of me)
June-2 weeks geriatrics, 2 weeks ambulatory (2 weeks of jeopardy call)
July-Pedi Ward (as a senior resident-pretty crazy)
