Autumn

I have a bit of insomnia tonight...so what do I do? Counting sheep is for sissies; I'll blog!

I took my test for my rotation today. Not too bad I don't think, I hope I did well! It is VERY sad that this rotation is coming to an end. I have had a great time, and I will miss all the people very much. I guess we'll see if I match here come March! I am currently packing to go away for a month on my next rotation- another month of fun in the ED! I am excited but pretty nervous, I hope I don't look like an idiot. Hopefully with one rotation under my belt I'll look like a pro...yea.

I have gotten the fall bug...I am very much looking forward to going on this rotation to a place that actually HAS a fall, with leaves and crisp cool air. For some reason lately I have been missing Nebraska...I know, what?!? I think I just miss the fall, since it is still >100 degrees here with no end in sight. Summer I love ya, but I'm ready for just a bit of brisk-ness in the air.

I feel pretty happy at this time of year. Maybe because it's when school usually starts and, let's face it, I love school. Maybe it's because I get to eat lots of filling, comforting food (yikes for my waistline). Maybe because it's a time when everyone wants to sit at home and be with lots of people, kind of like a teaser for Christmas (my FAVORITE season of all). I just feel full of hope that things will be good and something big will happen. No idea what, but I can feel it. Naturally it also makes me feel a little lonely, but I'm trying to focus on the positive here!

So here's to autumn (because that just sounds so much more sophisticated and grown-up)...warm drinks, squash, crunchy leaves, sweaters, listening to great music while reminiscing by the fire, and the sweet anticipation of Christmas.
