I started my blog during intern year with every intention to blog daily, keeping a record (mostly for me to look back upon) of the time spent in residency.  I mostly stuck with it, but with my vacation and the very busy month of June, I didn’t blog at all during the last 6 weeks of residency except to say I was back from Mexico.

Soon Jasmine and I will be paving the way as pediatric hospitalists at a new hospital and I’ll be slumming in the Children’s ER for some extra cash.  I imagine I’ll have more free time but less to blog about since I won’t be around so many people all the time anymore, so the entries will become less frequent.  I want to continue the comics as well but will need to come up with a new name for them.

And we shall see what other life changes are in store for this year… :)

I did get myself some fancy pants new sunglasses  and a Lego umbrella out of the trips :)

Then there was the Lady Gaga concert on HBO… that was fun too.

Awesome. http://gina-bean.com/2011/05/10/this-is-awesome/ http://gina-bean.com/2011/05/10/this-is-awesome/#comments Wed, 11 May 2011 02:47:18 +0000 Gina http://gina-bean.com/?p=2782 My elective has given me tons of time to study.  I think with the way things are going, I’ll be able to read up on the subjects I’d foolishly scheduled for the weeks I’m on vacation before I leave for Mexico and shouldn’t be behind at all when I get back!

Unfortunately I think all this time off has resulted in Evan not being able to get as much of his work done as he’d like.  It’s not as though I’m constantly bothering him or anything…

Martin last night.  And reading is basically all I’ve done today.  Read, run errands, read, eat dinner, read.  It’s been a wonderful day.
