Full Circle

Friday will be my last day of residency. This fact blows my mind. Just one year ago I was sitting through boring hours of orientation and making excuses for not studying for the boards. This week, the new class of residents has begun orientation. I spent most of my day today preparing them for the upcoming year and filling them in on all the office gossip. It is eye-opening to look back and see how far I've come. Yet I'm still nervous about working independently. Maybe I'll take along the diabetes guidelines with me to read on the plane. One more time.

India Blog

I wanted to let everyone know that George and I will be consolidating our blogging efforts while we are in India. So, if you are interested in reading our postings from India, check out this blog. I have added it to my blogroll.

Stuff & Things

Hello. Since my last post, a lot has been going on. I spent the first week of June in Chicago learning about Parkinson's Disease. It was awesome except for getting stuck there an extra night after my flight got cancelled. I ended up missing my friends Val & Hughby's wedding, paying $6 for a stick of deodorant, and splitting a hamburger with a stranger. However, I did use my Midwestern charm to score a free night in the O'hare Hilton. King size bed, flat screen HDTV, mini-bar, etc. It could've been worse.

Of course I have been a little stressed out with the end of my residency (last day June 27), that trip to India, and move back to KS impending. My passport (and hopefully visa) are in the mail set to arrive tomorrow. I'm packing up my apartment to move everything into storage for now. India will happen July 3-August 8. When I get back I plan to relax and settle into Wichita until I start my new job on September 2. Phew.

There's your update. Oh, and Happy Father's Day.
