Whew

Two weeks until my peds shelf. ugh. I definitely don't feel that I've learned enough to be even remotely proficient in peds. Every specialty has its own set of language/rules/info to learn, but I think the peds set is larger than most. You have to be good at genetics, infectious disease, orthopedics, psychiatry, parental counseling, pharmacology, infectious disease, pulmonology, and oh yeah did I mention infectious disease?!

I'm just a bit stressed out. And in the middle of it all we're making schedules for next year's rotations. I haven't been able to CHOOSE what I study since college. And in college, my roommate made my schedule for me! Erin, where are you when I need you? There are all these rules about how many rotations must be in your chosen field of medicine and how many must be basic science selectives and some have to be pre-approved by the department and everything has to be signed by an advisor and What If I Change My Mind and Then How Am I Going to Schedule Things?
On the bright side, last night Tom and I went to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy with the Omaha Symphony and it was great. That music just makes me want to dance. I highly recommend it as a stress reliever.
