Wow. The first of many long days.

We had Pediatrics Orientation from 7:45am to 5:00pm today, and at the very end we finally found out where we have to report tomorrow, and our general schedule for the rest of the 6 weeks. We have our two weeks of in-patient first at DuPont, then our week of nursery at Christiana, and then three weeks of out-patient at a clinic in Wilmington.

Short term this means that we have to catch the 5:30am shuttle to DuPont in the morning and before that we have to do homework to present tomorrow.

Long term, it's kind of weird. I can't remember if I wrote about this or not, but we had been worried that with just one car, Glen and I might be assigned to two different Delaware sites simultaneously and that we wouldn't have enough car to go around. We thought we wanted to drive in to DuPont along with Kristin and Beth who have our rotation with us, so we sent the rotation coordinator an e-mail with all of our concerns and she said no problem -- she would set it up so that Glen, Kristin, Beth and I would be going to DuPont the same weeks so we could carpool and she would just put me and Glen together for the rest of the rotation so we wouldn't have any car conflicts. With the in-patient we're with a whole bunch of people at DuPont, on two different teams even... at the out-patient we are the only two students at this one small practice in Wilmington! Just not what I expected.

I wrote the above hours ago when I was making dinner. Now I'm at the library finishing the homework project we have due tomorrow -- our first day! It was assigned 21 hours before it was due. I have to get the heck home so we can wake up in less than 5 hours! ARGGH.

Now I really really feel like a third year :(
