Happy Saturday guys!
It's about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
I just finished 3rd week of surgery rotation.
My sleep schedule is a little weird right now because I had call Wednesday night thru
Thursday morning and then I had rest of Thursday off but then I had to go back on Friday, early
morning.
Then I worked all day Friday.
This morning I had to wake up early and just go in to rounds.
So I was only there for maybe 3 hours or so.
I took a little nap in the morning and now I'm up.
Physically speaking, it's (surgery rotation) like pretty demanding cause you really have
to prioritize sleep when you're done, and when you come home from the hospital.
Sometimes it's as early as 5 but sometimes it's as late as 7-7:30pm.
I know in other teams, people come home later.
It's very resident dependent and very attending dependent.
Pretty much you have to come home and go to bed by 9 o'clock, otherwise you're not getting
enough sleep at all.
So that's what I've been trying to do.
Trying to squeeze my workout and studying in between those times as well.
It's been pretty hectic but I'm enjoying myself and enjoying my rotation.
For today, I'm just gonna study a little bit now that I've gotten plenty of sleep.
I think I might be coming down with something cause my voice is a little nasal-y but I'm
gonna try to get some studying done since it's Saturday and I'm off for the rest of
the day and I'm off tomorrow as well so it's the perfect time to catch up on some stuff.
I've actually been using my old First Aid book.
I bound it into smaller section.
Basically I wanted to look at the GI chapter because in general surgery you look at the
abdominal cavity a lot so I'm reviewing some of that.
I'm using some of my markers to draw some of the anatomy.
Let me show you guys, so a lot of people ask me what to do when you're studying anatomy
and how to master it.
I think the best way is to probably draw it.
So things that are kinda confusing like the blood supply in the foregut out the celiac
branch or the celiac trunk.
I just like to draw it out and label everything and just do it multiple times till you really
understand it so that's what I did a couple nights ago.
I'm gonna continue studying sorta the blood supply of the abdomen today.
So I will see you guys later.
Hi guys!
So it's about 5 o'clock.
I've been studying for a few hours doing some questions and I think I'm going to take a
little break and maybe go out.
I wanna buy more tea because I'm feeling a little under the weather.
Maybe I'll watch a movie and maybe I'll resume studying a little bit later.
So I'm in Union Square meeting up with babe.
Actually he's probably here already cause I'm a little late.
Oo lots of stuff going around here.
Anyway, ahh! there he is!
Right there.
Okay so this is the restaurant that we're gonna eat at.
It's called Basta Pasta.
So that was a really good meal.
Basta Pasta is a fusion of Japanese and Italian restaurant.
They'll have traditional Italian-type of dishes but with a Japanese twist.
All the ingredients are super fresh.
I love coming here.
I'm feeling a little sick.
I think I might be coming down with something so I'm gonna go buy some tea cause I'm out
of tea.
Okay, now we're looking for some coffee and dessert place.
Maybe more coffee than dessert or maybe both!
So we're here at this place called Coffee Project NY. Let's check it out!
Hi Candy!
Where are you going?
Hey cat come on.
Hey guys so I'm back.
It's like so nasty out.
It's cold and rainy.
But right next to the coffee store that I went to, there was a really cool record store
and I was browsing through and it brought back so many fond memories.
I think in high school I really wanted a record player and parents went in to a garage sale
one day and they surprised me with one.
Ever since then I would go to garage sales in college in NY I would go to record stores
and look at them and browse them, it was really just fun times.
This store was super cute and they had a lot of really great stuff.
I didn't buy anything because I'm in a phase of not accumulating a ton of stuff but it
was really fun to look through everything.
And I wanted to show you guys what I have like collected.
Collection is a too strong a word cause I don't really buy them anymore but I wanna
show you guys what I have.
Let me show you guys!
So... organic chemistry set.
Here are the records that I have.
These two are new they were recent gifts.
So I have Amy Winehouse and Adele and all the other ones are from high school and college.
I have Dave Brubeck Quartet, Michael Jackson, Billy Holiday--I love this one.
The Sound of Music with Julie Andrews, Perry Como, another Dave Brubeck Quartet, Roger
Williams, more Dave Brubeck Quartet, The Smiths, this was a gift I believe.
And just a bunch of random stuff.
There's some classical in here.
Simon and Garfunkel, this one is actually pretty heavily scratched up so it's kinda
hard to listen to.
Oo another Sound of Music but this is an older one so I don't think this one has Julie Andrews
singing or does it?
I don't think so.
Some Christmas ones, love story, just a whole bunch of random stuff, that I've accumulated
over the years.
I don't really buy them anymore cause I'm trying not to--oo The Shins!
I don't really buy them anymore because everything is available on Spotify these days and I feel
like I'm trying to minimize the stuff that I have, I don't know, it's like I really can't
seem to get rid of these because it's like sentimental to have these around.
So I just kept this little box of it with me.
That's all I'm gonna have for know but yeah, it was really cool to look through the records
in the store.
I really enjoyed it.
So time-fun is over.
I think I really have to get back to studying, so I'm gonna study for a few more hours and
then head to bed early because I don't know, I'm just trying to keep a regular schedule
so I'm gonna be doing that.
Candy wants to be fed.
Yeah, ok, ok.
