To summarize, after the long and arduous journey of step 2, I took a 2 week vacation home. This involved lots of food, lots of tv, and generally doing nothing all day but gain weight. I also spent a weekend in San Francisco with the mother, which an awesome city. Upon my return to Peoria I had a month with Dr. C on pulm, which basically amounted to a 4 week vacation. Next was my Peds Sub I which was a great experience; I actually felt like an almost doctor, and loved working with kids and all the peds residents. Having Julia and Stu on the rotation definitely made things a lot more fun too, and overall the rotation was definitely my favorite in all of medical school. Afterward I did EM, which was a lot of work and I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Luckily I was able to squeeze in a half week of vacation home afterward, which was much needed.
Now I'm halfway through neuro, with interviews just around the corner. Here's to free dinners and lots of traveling.
