I found out which three rotations I’ll be starting off with WHEN (not if) I return to my coursework mid-March. The sequence:
- Orthopedics
- Psych (NOOOOOOO!! ;) just kidding.)
- Surgery
What I really want to know is WHERE I’ll be doing these rotations. I’m reeeeeallyyyyy hoping that I won’t be having to drive to queens for any of them. It’s an hour drive without rush hour traffic. No student needs that, especially me.
I don’t dare ask this faculty member where I’ve been placed until I have the green light to register, hopefully next week, maybe the week after.
On Tuesday, I got the note from my psychiatrist saying he thinks I’m fine to go back. I’m hoping that’s enough because the psychologist called in sick yesterday, so I don’t have a note from him yet.
However, I found out the other day that that February 12th deadline doesn’t actually apply to me, and I can register later without penalty. That takes some pressure off, but I’m still going to push ahead because I want the assurance of knowing that everything is taken care of.

In completely unrelated news, I decided to go ahead and try putting shrimp in my little aquarium. I had to order them online (they’re shipped with heat packs), and they’ll be arriving probably while I’m at work today. Yay!
My sister has requested that I name a fish after her, but because the only fish, the betta, will be a male (and I’ve already picked out the name Buford), I’ll have to name the biggest, reddest female shrimp after her. Then, of course, I have to just hope that Buford the betta doesn’t decide to eat Allison the shrimp. :)
PS – Happy Birthday to my big brother, Dan!
