Janet's musings

A collection of thoughts, ideas, and meditations. (a.k.a. the randomness that goes through my head)

Monday, October 24, 2005

So, the past few weeks have proven that you should never trust older students. I don't know what they were talking about, but it's bullshit that you won't be busy during your second year. That'll be my excuse for the month long blog vacation.

It has been a busy few weeks though. I'll try to hit some of the highlights.

-I've interviewed my first couple of patients. It wasn't too bad, basically I just talked to them. I have a hard time remembering that I am supposed to act more like a doctor and not just try to be friendly. All in all the biggest complaint I heard was that my sweater was low cut. I might add here that it wasn't showing any cleavage, it just wasn't a turtle neck. Apparently my neck is distracting. I didn't feel so bad when I heard that almost every other girl got the same comment.

-This weekend I got my "white coat" so now I look official. Granted I'm still clueless, but now the patients think I know what I am talking about. And get this, next week I start seeing patients in the clinic. Scary. Mostly for them though.

-I joined a bowling league. No I am not a good bowler. My handicap is like 98 or something. I actually broke 100 last week, so I'm really quite bad, but I have fun and it keeps me out of trouble. Well, mostly.

-Oh, and I've officially rejoined the dating world. I don't really want to talk to much about it here, but I figured those of you who knew about it would bug me if I didn't mention it since that has been one of the big reasons that I haven't posted in a while. Email me if you want details :)

My life hasn't been too exciting. School, studying, hanging out and occasionally bowling.

Okay, let me know your opinion on this next story to settle an argument. Well, more of a discussion really. So E and I went to this apple orchard. We went inside to the donut shop thinking we were going to buy some donuts. Well, he was going to buy the donuts. Anyway, when we get to the counter and ask for donuts the lady says "Oh, I'm sorry we're out." So I said, "What do you mean you don't have donuts? You are a donut shop. How do you run out?" So she goes into some stupid story about cooking them all in the morning and then the only lady that can make them left. Then she says, "Well, I guess we do have 6 left." E said fine we'll take them. So, she rings it up and says it's $6.25. I look at the menu and notice that for 6 donuts it's $3.50 and it $6 for a dozen. I get ready to say something and E gives me a look and tells me to drop it because it's not a big deal. Okay, am I wrong to complain about being overcharged? Plus, now I'm annoyed because E is being a pussy. I guess I'm just a bitch. Oh and the topper is that the couple behind us asks for a dozen donuts and the lady goes "Well, we don't have a dozen but we've got 2 left." What the hell is that? Did two donuts just appear out of thin air? Or did she just think that we should only get 6?
