Morning nap!

Today's been a weird day. First of all, I forgot my pager. That's not usually an issue because no one ever pages me, so I didn't run back home when I'd realized that it was still on my kitchen table. Anywho, I had a bunch of patients to see before our 7:30 surgery and so I got to work at 6:15, which is way too early if you ask me. Then when I went to find the surgeon I stalk/follow/learn from, I found that he didn't actually have any surgeries scheduled for the morning (the one he had got canceled and rescheduled). So, I ran home to grab my pager to make sure he didn't page me telling me what else I should do. But, he didn't. In fact, he had the morning off, which meant I had the morning off - baller! I went back home after a genetics lecture to take a glorious 2.5 hour nap. Wish I could have just slept in and hit the gym, but I'll take it.

After lunch, which I got to have at home and thus save the lunch I carefully packed yesterday, I headed into the office where I got to meet some lovely patients, learn a few things, and then head home around 6. I got home and couldn't figure out what to eat and eventually heated up some leftover rice-a-roni for dinner around 7:30. Meh.

I've been studying all night and have to brush up on my colorectal stuff since I have oral exams on Thursday regarding this month's rotations. So, I'm off to do more of that. Here are some photos for you. Missing are photos of the 2 bananas I ate and the one fiber plus bar I had.

Breakfast #2 - I was super hungry this morning

Today's positive: unexpected morning nap! Hooray!

Just a tad off

I was going to start off by saying that today was a weird day, but I felt as though I should just go ahead and say that this week has been a weird week. How you ask? Well, in so many ways that I shall list them for you for the sake of brevity:

• My sleep schedule is completely off, thanks to musculoskeletal on Monday
• My knees are acting up - like to the point where I can't sleep because they ache so badly (further throwing off my sleep schedule)
• Michigan has been above 70° for 3 days in a row and I've been getting pretty sweaty -  I'm just going to want to be naked the entire time I'm in Uganda over Christmas break (which is so, so not allowed - I'm not even allowed to wear shorts - gotta keep those knees covered)
• I had two exams in one day
• I actually cooked food...kinda (see below)
• I feel somewhat rested

So, yeah. There's that. And I just feel off. Maybe it was the lack of sleep last night (I took a nap this morning after my exam), but I got really pissed off for stupid reasons today. Like my normal exam seat was taken. Normal reaction: Eh. That sucks. Guess I'm sitting somewhere else. Today's reaction: RAGE. DANIKA SMASH. Then the loudest kid ever sits next to me during the exam. Normal reaction: I wonder how many times he's going to cough ridiculously loud. Today's reaction: RAGE. DANIKA SMASH. Someone's comment about me not getting my usual spot. Normal reaction: If I fail, I'm blaming it on Insert name here. Today's reaction: RAGE. DANIKA SMASH. But then, stupid e-mail from faculty. Normal reaction: RAGE. DANIKA SMASH. Today's reaction: Meh. Must be weird to have nothing to do but send stupid e-mails.

Seriously. What is wrong with me? Also, because I didn't go to the gym today (serious knee pain folks), I was all, let's eat all the foods! But, I mostly did okay and pretty much stayed in my calorie range. So, yeah. That was weird.

Anywho, today's cooked food was: fish tacos. Never made those before. Definitely making those again. NOMS.
