missing and needing

i need a pedicure. i’ve been neglecting my feet for far too long now.

i can’t wait for my new laptop.  i ordered and paid for an iBook last week.

last 6 days as a PL-orbit 1st year.  i am sure to miss some of the consultants, seeing and examining patients with either a proptosed eye or one with orbital wall fractures, doing Hertel’s, MRDs and probing.  but most of all i will definitely miss working with my 2nd year too, mich.  glau, here i come.

There are moments as solo PL-Orbit 1st year when i just want to drop everything i am doing and walk out the door, when there is not enough me to do everything all at the same time.  but there are also moments when i am happy examining patients at the OPD or at the wards. still can’t imagine myself setting up practice 5 years from now.  there are just so many young ophthalmologists in manila, i don’t think i’m ready for the "competition".  taking residency at Ophtha in PGH was just a dream, a vision i had as a clerk. 

i’ve 2 weddings to attend to next month.  the 1st one is of my cousin’s, Kuya Carlo. finally.  the second 1 will be the first wedding amongst my college friends, Maela.  i do hope my sched will permit me to join both festivities.

    Wow.. ophtha resident! Feels good to know my batchmates are on their way to becoming specialists, especially those training in PGH. We’ve come a long way from being spoiled ward babies (icc’s) to the hosptial’s lowest forms of life (clerks) to red nameplates (interns) to actual doctors. Goodluck with residency Franz. And I hope you get that pedicure soon. :)
