Orientation starts in 96 hours.

I have today and tomorrow off. Saturday and Sunday I have to take a pediatric life support class. And then Monday morning we start our four days of orientation.

I keep telling myself that I've always had a good experience on every rotation I've ever done, so I don't know why things would start going badly now. I had this exact same feeing days before I started every single rotation (emergency medicine, pediatric infectious disease, psychiatry, ob/gyn... all of them).

So now I'm trying to relax.

I was going to use today to work out and eat right. But then I had five "cocktail-sized" spinach empanadas that were left over from our housewarming party, some yogurt and two poached eggs. Yay for anxiety-eating!
