I didn't go to the hospital today; my consultant isn't in so I decided not to go as well. The rotation is ending, and I don't feel like I can learn anything from it anymore. Well, technically that's not true, but given my current mind frame I honestly think it'll just be a waste of time if I go in. I had the GI test yesterday (which the tutor gives at the end of the rotation to make sure that we know our stuffs) and apparently I did very well for it! :))) My tutor said that I was like the dark horse of the group, she didn't expect me "to have such an excellent paper", but I did. Which surprised me as well, because I remembered that I didn't know how to do some bits and I was just crapping my way through it. She also said that my case report was wonderful :) haha. So yay! I'm so relieved, and just really happy that this rotation is over. I can't wait to start the next one, which is Care of the Elderly. Doesn't sound fun, but apparently the days are shorter (like 8am to 2pm or something), so I'm really looking forward to that.

Ginger left this morning to go home for the weekend. He won't be back till Monday :(  4 days all alone. I already miss him, but I know that if I keep my days occupied, they'll pass faster and before I know it he'll be back again. Him being away is actually good for me, because when he's around I don't get many things done, and I also don't get much sleep. The productivity part is my fault, because I just want to spend every single possible moment when I'm home with him. I'm at the hospital a lot during the weekdays, so all I want to do when I get home is spend those last few hours of the day with him. The sleep part, however, is ENTIRELY his fault. Every time I close my eyes to sleep, he whines and wakes me up and tells me not to go to sleep. I've been averaging no more than 6 hours sleep every night since the start of February; most weekday nights I get only about 4 hours of sleep. And for someone with a strict sleeping schedule of at least 7 hours a night, this chronic lack of sleep is starting to show on my skin, appetite, and my ability to concentrate. So I'm using this weekend to recharge, sleep sufficiently, take care of my skin and body, and actually get some things settled. Errands to run, things to buy, school work to do- all of which I've been putting off long enough. This weekend is all about ME, and catching up on work and sleep and getting my stuffs straight, before Ginger comes back on Monday. And then I also have to clean both our rooms, wash his bed sheets and clothes and iron them. And I may also clean the kitchen, depending on how hardworking I feel on Sunday, lol.

Okay, off for a nap now :)
