2 months update
oh boy, i've been bad, no blogging! that's 'cuz my life has become mundane with work...but i'm quite happy with it for the most part! i REALLY like my job (despite one or two bad days which some of you know about) as i'm getting more familiar with things and people. And, the new PA showed up last week so i'm no longer the newbie!! =) now they have someone else to pick on and train! he's 2 years outta PA school, but with no ortho experience so he's having quite a bit of trouble. poor guy. can't believe i was in his shoes just 4 months ago! oh, and i got a raise, yay! i've been in the OR (operating room) less and less, with more and more clinic which means i eat more since i'm sitting at my desk with a HUGE jar of chocolate sitting in front of me! how do you office-desk ppl handle it!?? well, it would help to get rid of that chocolate jar, but it's not mine and it's not on my desk! too bad it's right in my eyesight. i guess i just have to have better self-control...or ask to be in the OR more!
the working world is lovely (shal, don't stay in school too long, it's WAY more stressful) as i come home after 8-12h with absolutely nothing to worry about, giving me a chance to exercise, spend time with family, bf, friends. i've even watched 2 DVDs and read a book!!! now that's amazing for me! as for sports (i was reading up on my last post), i've returned my street surfing board (though i see lotsa kiddies doing it, making me feel old), no more trampolining, met a patient who's on a female ice hockey team who said they offer "try hockey for free" days for women twice a year which i'll do come october, and still haven't tried golf or revisited rock climbing, bikram yoga, or swimming (although i did find a place for $1.50 evening swims on the way home from work). the one new thing--i did take up road biking....my bro introduced me to this 15 mile ride from home to stevens creek reservoir and to monta vista high school and back home...i've done it 3x so far, and cheated every time. there is this INTENSE uphill climb that i just cannot do--my quads give out. even walking the bike up kills my legs!! my goal is to be able to do it one day...but probably after i get a better bike. the one i use is a $59 one from target 3 years ago. =) this saturday, i may try mountain biking if it doesn't rain. kinda scary, but it should be fun! oh, and badminton is fun again!! i found a women's doubles partner and it re-energized the sport and competitive spirit in me! she's a bit older and weaker, but more consistent and a smarter player than me. together we make a pretty strong team, and it's fun to play when you have a set partner you can call up! now i just need a mixed doubles partner...too bad playing with a bf is IMPOSSIBLE. i don't know of any couples who can play together peacefully, heh. oh, and my mom returned from taiwan and FINALLY got what i asked for--badminton shoes and strings! i need another racket too, but i'm rather picky so that'll have to wait.
hrm, nothing else to blog about, sniff. my life is boring. no exciting trips coming up, no ventures, no new news. oh well, at least i'm happy! =)
