quick update, i promise!
ok, here's a quickie 'cuz not much to say. my first full 12-hour shift starts in less than 12h. i've been to several orientation mtngs, but still haven't seen patients yet. i've spoken to other PA classmates and some have crazy 12-14h/day schedules already 4-5 days/week!! so i should feel VERY lucky to have just 3 days on/2 days off schedule for now. =)
I went to NJ Open for badminton this past wknd and it was lotsa fun but i never played sooo much badminton in one day. i nearly died! but came out with a win in each event in lower flights, and radu won open men's singles and mixed doubles, totaling over $500. lucky guy. most cash prize i ever got was $35. haha, sad, but oh well. oh, and he's too darn popular in badminton tournies--strangers go up to talk to him. and sadly enuf...my scorpio side showed and i got jealous at one point! =P how embarassing. but we talked, and he reassured me i guess.
been eating out at the carts and small restaurants! i think it may actually be cheaper to eat out than to buy grocery foods for just one person. I get more variety eating lunch specials, saves me time, tastes better, and costs less than $5 for two meals since they give us such large portions that i have part for lunch, part for dinner. grocery shopping is reserved for fruit and snacks =). so far, i've had ginger shrimp/chicken, chicken lo mein, and dinner cooked by radu's twin (sweet and sour chicken with teriyaki rice). YUM!!! sure beats the PB&J sandwich i had for about 1 week straight! oh, and my new fav deli is panera breads. i think it's only in east coast, but you have GOT to try their sandwiches and salads. go to http://www.panerabread.com/default.aspx and start drooling!
saw batman returns today--was expecting a SUPERB movie from all the hype, and it only turned out decent. well, better than decent. anyhow, i better get back to organizing and preparing for tomorrow!
