things i am not enjoying getting used to

1. getting up at 4.

2. having to eat breakfast at 4.

3. because i don’t get a chance to eat again until at least 1 pm

4. that’s freaking 9 hours!

5. meanness on rounds

6. standing up for FOUR FREAKING HOURS on rounds (yesterday, i realized i could run a marathon in the time that we do rounds every day. and sometimes i think it might be less painful.)

7. feeling like i can’t keep up with everything

8. and yet feeling like maybe it doesn’t matter because i don’t really have a good plan as to what to do for lots of things anyway

9. not being able to make even small decisions without running it by the fellow (necessary, because of #7, but i hate it)

10. going to bed and trying to fall asleep when it is still light outside

11. seeing my husband for like 5 minutes out of the whole week

you can tell i’m really looking forward to the next 30 hours.
