it's pouring rain outside. this is wisconsin, in the middle of january - what's with all the rain? can't complain though, the car is getting a free wash.
working at the med school right now; i have a couple presentations to give on friday plus a meeting with one of the docs i work with, which means even more articles to read and stuff to be on top of. which wouldn't be all too bad, except that tomorrow from 5-10pm i have a CPR training course. i have no idea why it will take 5 hours but i suspect that i will be spending most of it learning how to make out with a dummy, and then proceeding to practice that which i will have just learned. also, the course will consume the bulk of my evening and i won't have a whole lot of time for getting work done.
ophthalmology has been really cool so far. having a clinic day from 8:30am-4pm is the life. i don't know how fulfilling i would find this field for a career, but i am really enjoying it. at least ophtho clinic is pretty hands-on: there's lots of instruments and machines and gadgets to use in the eye exam. other clinics, it's a lot of talking and paperwork. pediatric ophthalmology doesn't seem to be quite as noble as pediatric hem/onc, however, it is far more difficult to match into ophtho than peds. and given my academic and medical background, matching into optho would be quite the long shot. i guess we'll see how things pan out.
