Call me Dr. Julia--"The Baby Doc"

My first day of playing doctor went a lot better than I thought it would. In fact, for the first time, I'm actually really really excited to be starting my rotations, I've been dreading them for so long.... Mostly orientation today, but I learned how to birth a (fake) baby and monitor labor. And I met my resident who seems really nice (I've heard so many evil!resident stories that would curl your toes) and willing to help us learn--I breathed a big sigh of relief after that. We made our call schedule--I only have 5 nights on call--and I get to go home afterwards!! I'm done pretty much every day by 5:30 (although I start at 5:30 am--still, I thought I'd be spending 18 hours at the hospital every day, this seems like the life of luxury!) And best of all--I get (most) weekends off!!

And tomorrow--tomorrow I scrub in for my first cesarean section!! I can't wait!

Going to bed at ten seems like a crime, but alas, I must away. Night all!
