rounding, rounding, and more rounding

I feel bad for not blogging more in the past week or so. I've honestly sat down and opened up a new post and then just stared at the blank screen with the blinking cursor waiting for me to start typing, but nothing exciting, new, or interesting comes to mind. I feel my life is boring. I've found myself in a routine, even though it will only last a month. It also doesn't help that I'm exhausted. I was on call this past weekend, which meant I worked a 1/2 day on Saturday and a full day on Sunday. My days have all mushed together since I've basically been working for 9 days in a row (minus my half day off on Sat)

Here's the usual routine:
5am - wake up
5:30 - start the drive to work, eat a snack in the car (PB&J, yogurt, dry cereal in a cup that I shake into my mouth)
6am ish - park and wait for the shuttle, because it is too darn cold and dark to walk the 2 blocks to the hospital
6:10 - start pre-rounding (go see my patients, exam, and write progress notes)
8 am - morning lecture, 2nd breakfast
9:30 - rounds with the attending
noon - lunch lecture
1-5 - discharge patients or admit new patients from the ED
5-5:30 - leave and go home
6 pm - arrive home - shower, eat dinner, study, relax a little, and sleep
REPEAT

That's medicine for you. I actually enjoy it most of the time, because they keep me busy. There is always something to do, which helps. But it is exhausting. I don't know what I'm going to do when I'm an intern and actually work more.
I feel like most of my day is spent walking around the hospital around and around - briefly visiting patients rooms or filling out paperwork. So now maybe you see why there isn't too much for me to write about. It's snowed here - my dad asked why I haven't taken any pictures - it's hard to take pictures when you get up before the sun and get home after it's already set.

So it's time for me to go. A little studying, then bed, and repeat. I'm looking forward to the weekend - I just want to sleep in until 8 am.
