Crazy Confession Time



I never, ever, ever, admit to people what I do for a living. I dodge the question, give vague, I work with animals answers, or outright lie about my job. Its not that I'm embarassed by it, quite the opposite in fact, but I do get tired of hearing about every pet a person has ever owned, or asked why their brothers'-girlfriends'-cousins'-neighbors', cat is doing X.



I am probably the most extroverted hermit to ever live. I love talking to people, can talk to just about anyone, stranger or not, but I don't like to go anywhere or do anything. I also prefer to travel alone.

A daily check up of life...

Currently reading: Better: A Surgeons Notes on Performance by Atul Gawanda It's a look at human health care from a surgeons perspective.

Thanksgiving was good, lots of food, watched the Dallas game, went back home. Was off all weekend, no patients and no on call duty (that is a rare occurrance), so I watched more football. That OSU vs. OU game was a disappointment and the BCS ranking was even more of a disappointment. Did it really come down to who beat OSU worse - should have went to Texas. I will admit I wish it would have gone to Tech, wouldn't that have been the upset of the year.

I'm rethinking my decision to apply for medicine residencies. I've always wanted to be a surgeon, as long as I can remember. The medicine thing was a recent developmenet. I enjoyed being on medicine a lot, but now that I'm back on Surgery (again) I get so excited for all the surgeries we are doing. Don't know what to do, its too late to apply for surgery residencies now. I can always pull out of the match and wait until next year to try again. sigh

The pioneer woman, is my internet girl crush - I want to be like her someday.

Instead of resolutions for the new year, I always create a specific list of things I want to do, usually they come from my list of 100 things to do before I die. I'm almost done with my list, maybe I'll post some of the list.
