End of Term 1 as an intern!

Finished my Aged Care term this week!!! Sadly I'm also doing my last overtime of the term today =( but so far pager hasn't gone off so have time to type this!!!

Yeah it was kinda sad finishing up on Friday with Aged Care, but also kind of a relief! Our patient load I think was about to sky rocket and I think I bailed at just the right time! Sad though cos I had a super nice reg and two really really supportive consultants who were super super nice! I really think it's the people you work with that makes all the difference to whether or not you enjoy the term, rather than what the actual term is itself. I had a good team and hence a good term! Really feel I've come a long way from orientation week when I was feeling nauseous half the time and wondering how on earth I was gonna cope!

Friday night we went out to our end of term RMO dinner at Golden Century Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown!!! Carpooled with Jaz and got there surprisingly on time at 8pm after we scored a super duper park at central! We were like the 5th and 6th people there. The others already there were residents. Soon more people came and coincidentally my reg for next term and his wife sat next to me! He seems really cool and over the course of the night we seemed to have plenty to talk about and common interests! Looks like it's gonna be another good term! After dinner went to Havana on Oxford st and crashed the combined party of Liverpool, Concord, POW, and St George I think! Stayed till around 12.30am by which time I think I was half deaf and seriously losing my voice!

Yesterday went out to Flemington Markets with family and then to Temasek, a Malaysian restaurant at Parramatta for lunch. Really really yummy food!!!!! Came back mid arvo and bummed around at home until dinner, which was at Angewa's place. She cooked up another Iron-Chef-Angewa extravaganza (by our standards anyway!!!) and it was great catching up with med friends from other hospitals! Got home late again and thank goodness for day light saving ending meaning I got an extra hour of sleep!

Okey dokey...let's see what this day brings...!
