Its the little things that excite me. I bought a computer monitor and found a cheap cord on ebay to hook up my Mac laptop to it and now i have TWO SCREENS when i study. makes life a lot easier to keep a powerpoint on the monitor and write my notes on the other screen. *sigh* its the little things

in other news, I am in the middle of picking/ trading rotation locations with my classmates and should have my final schedule in 2 weeks! I am very exited about the situation because it means I am one step closer to getting out of the classroom and into the HOSPITAL!!!

my criteria for what i think is a good rotation:
I can wear scrubs everyday instead of wearing 'dress up' clothes
I have an 8 hour shift or less
I am on call 2 or less times in a month
The hospital is close to my parents house so i can milk off of them for another year instead of paying rent
