free at last!

great news! im finally done! residency is over!! i have to say, my last day/call was a slight anticlimatic- the night was actually insane and busy, but then when the next resident came for sign out in the morning, it was over. done. and that was pretty much it. i did, however, put up a huge stink at medical records- in typical hospital fashion, the folks down there claimed that i didnt do a few dictations, even though, oddly enough, the hard copies of the dictations were stapled in front of each chart. hmm. after about 10 minutes of attempting to make a logical arguement ("So, if i didnt do the dictation, how is it that its RIGHT HERE in front of the chart??") i finally negotiated that i would type the dictations over. ah, the oddities of residency....

so this month, in my time that i am officially off, i have accomplished alot so far: 1. played mini golf over the 4th of july weekend; 2. endured the crowds at the taste of chicago; 3. started a lacy scarf using the awesome choo choo yarn that my SP sent my way; 4. made some travel plans to visit michael' s parents (AND do some wedding planning!) and visit my own.

ooof, its going to be a good month!
