Friday ended up being a 16-hour day, since the surgery that was supposed to start at 10:30 am didn't start until 4:30 pm, and lasted three and a half hours. It was pretty cool, though, since they took a 10-pound tumor out of a woman's pelvis that ended up being papillary serous adenocarcinoma of the left ovary. I scrubbed out to follow the tumor to pathology, which was pretty interesting, but then I couldn't scrub back in and just stood behind all the surgeons unable to see anything for two hours. Not cool.
Saturday I *only* had to be there by 7 am, and I *only* had to stay 6 hours. Yay!
Back again tomorrow at 5... My goal for this week is to actually study outside of being at the hospital, and, more importantly, to figure out how to behave like a normal human being when I'm
at home so Eric doesn't think I'm a zombie.

hint: blogging and normal humanness are mutually exclusive
Eric has had some pretty "zombie-esque" periods, so I wouldn't worry. But you have been doing well compartmentalizing, so I have no fear you'll continue to find a way.
Totally not related to your post...
Geeks, not nerds
