Return to College

Hello beginning of Peds!
Here's the story of the beginning of my next 6 wks in Pediatrics.
Today is my first real day of Peds. I arrived last night in York to be welcomed to my lovely new room. Picture - white cinderblock hallway lined on both sides by tan doors and the accompanying room numbers. Thankfully, my roommate is my good friend Melanie. We open the door to our lovely new home to find... white cinderblock walls, 2 twin beds with a shelf above each of them, 2 desks, 2 small closets and 2 dressers! For my Trinity readers out there - take our dorm rooms and shrink them about 25-30%. Down the hall would be where the bathroom and shower would be. I never got to experience the joy of a communal bathroom at Trinity, but now I have my chance!

It wouldn't be a true college experience unless...at 6:30 in the morning the fire alarm goes off! Yup - wouldn't you know it. Mel and I look at each other and are like - you've got to be kidding me. she's like if we are the only 2 people outside... So we throw on sweatshirts and walk out into the hallway. No one. Walk down a flight of stairs and there are a few boys standing outside their rooms on the 2nd floor. Walk down another flight to the first floor - no one is outside their rooms. This is where some of the on-call residents stay. They have some food for us on the first floor. Not smelling any smoke or seeing any sign of panic - we go grab b-fast to take back to our room. While getting b-fast we hear an all clear message and return to start our day a little bit earlier.

Now we're both ready with an hour to kill. Time for coffee.

P.S. I will post pictures once I have my camera here. I left it in Hershey, but I'll be going back this weekend!
