A Love Hate Relationship

My residency pager

Today I had my departmental (psychiatry) orientation. I finally got one hospital ID!! (Seems simple enough in theory, but it’s taken a lot of work to achieve this one small goal.) And I have to get another ID for a different hospital tomorrow. I also received my very first PAGER!!! It’s strange, because right now I’m so happy and excited to have a pager, but I’m sure I will grow to hate this little piece of electronics in the near future.

I also received my SCHEDULE for my intern year. That’s right, I finally know what I will be doing for the next year of my life. I will share more on that later, but I will say now that the first three months of my residency will be inpatient psychiatry at a very close hospital, so I’m PSYCHED!! (pun intended)

I have so much more to share, but I have a billion things to do right now, so I will have to share at a later date.

Right now I’m just very excited! I will start my first day of residency the day after tomorrow!
