Sarah was so happy to leave the country, and see somewhere else different for a while. I miss her so much, but I know she is very happy there, and we get to Skype every few days, which has helped.
I had my meeting with our clinical coordinator to discuss how I would like my 3rd year to pan out. It went really well; in addition to my required family practice and general pediatric rotations, I have decided to focus my electives on surgery, and have at least 2 orthopedic surgery electives in the works, and a general surgery rotation that I'd like to do.
Other than that, everything is just settling into a routine. Classes begin and end, and the amount of information being thrown at us about how to treat patients is never-ending. However, once in a while, we do get gems thrown in there, like our suture workshop that took place last week:

| "This little piggie went to market, this little piggie stayed home....this little piggie cried wee, wee, wee"....because they were cutting off his feet to use for suture workshops |
I got practice in surgery this summer doing some sutures, and it was nice to drive home what I had learned, and really work on dexterity, and learning some other fun stuff. I love my Emergency medicine class (suture workshop was part of EMed), and have always considered working in the Emergency room sometime in my life. But for now, I am content with my pig feet.
That's all for now; gotta get back to studying for the 2 exams that are scheduled for Wednesday :-)
Good luck, Katie!
