Disoriented
I am incredibly pooped right now. And it’s definitely out of proportion to the amount of energy (physical, at least) that I expended today.
Today, I had to get up early and went to the hospital wide resident orientation Day 1. It was a loooong day. I’m mostly just not used to sitting on my butt for that many hours a day. I don’t think I’ve sat for that long of a stretch of time since perhaps undergrad. My tooshy is still numb.
And the “stuff” we learned today was really not all that special. About 95% of it was not specific to the hospital, but was rather “stuff” we all should already know like remembering to wash our hands and how to handle emergency evacuations.
I don’t like sitting. In fact, I rather despise it. Give me work on my feet all day long, and I will be tired, but not as tired as I am after sitting down all day long and listening to redundant information.
I don’t mean to complain. I know all of this stuff is important, and they have to introduce us new interns to all of it, per policy.
I did get to meet most of my fellow psychiatry interns, however, and that was definitely cool and exciting. I will be spending ungodly hours with these folks, so it’s good to know that I like them!
I’d write more, but my brain is rather dead. Need to walk the doggies and put together a dinner plan. More to come soon!
