nine to go.

so, it's friday. new year's eve. not that it matters, since i still have yet to make plans for tonight. apparently we're going up to a-basin tomorrow...it's ok because snowboarding is good, but on new year's day, blegh. i think that is my mother's way of trying to deter me from drinking tonight, but i'm fairly certain it won't work. oh well, kudos to her for trying.
yesterday was the day i got to spend with dr. reister. it was amazing. i got to scrub in for all three surgeries (and damn, scrubs are comfy), so i was less than two feet away from these people who were getting cut open. i didn't pass out or throw up or anything, so that was good. all three surgeries were really interesting and i had an awesome time watching. lunch with dr. reister was good as well. then, i spent about three hours following him at clinic at one of his offices. we must have seen 20-30 different patients in that amount of time, all with something different going on. it was a blast. the whole experience really makes me want to be an orthopedic surgeon, which is what i've always had an idea that i wanted to do, but i was never exactly certain as to why. now i know. wow, it was awesome. definitely one of the highlights of break so far.
although, with that over and done with, i don't have much to look forward to. new year's eve...sure, whatever. new year's day...same thing. at least brian gets back tomorrow, so i will have someone to talk to. i am excited to talk to him once again...it has been a week already since the last time i talked to him, and even that was somewhat limited because he was at the airport and it seems as if he always has something to do. very unlike me.
until 2005...
