Home Sweet Home

After a eight hour drive I arrived back in Rochester to my home and family who have missed me very much. We had a late dinner and I was able to sleep in my bed for the first time in ten days. The best part of being home is being able to read the local paper and mail that had been stacking up while I was gone. It is funny what we appreciate after being away “at school”.

What is hard to explain is how difficult it is to describe the excitement of residency with those that we left at behind home. We are able to explain what we did, but they will never understand how intense these days are without going through them. In addition, I am tired of using the words dissertation, comps, committee, chair, and requirements (I will refrain from using them this week).

Now on to some R&R today…. I will try to switch gears back to reality and start a really tough semester. I am already thinking ahead to the July Residency.

Here is to a great semester….
