Alternate universe

Life has been on super speed lately...which is what surgery usually is. It's funny how much I light up being in the OR and how much fun I have in the hospital yet I go home and it is like *enter sound effects* craaaasssh! I have been so tired. Going home means watching 1 show to numb my brain (thank you abcfamily), reading up for the OR cases or clinic or conference or presentation or proposal or....etc for the next day. But I am getting a little sad that in 3 days, I'll be done with my rotation. I have been in an alternate universe where surgeons say please & thank you, scrub nurses love and want to help medical students (I was seriously convinced that part of the scrub curriculum had a class "How to haze the medical student"...) but the biggest thing is I have truly enjoyed every single attending, resident etc I have worked with. I really like it here which is interesting because when I step outside of the hospital walls...I'm still in Alabama.

But I have gotten 1 night of cocktails in (yes one night...woot) , 1 day of an awesome farmers market (I miss home!! Farmers markets aren't the same without M..I miss M...so much) and of finding some awesome boutiques. It may be bad for my budget if I actually lived here.

Tomorrow is a big day as I get some big news so I spent the past hour gazing at some beautiful artwork online to help get my mind off of it. I found this awesome artist whom I really just fell in love with: Omar Ortiz from Guadalajara, Mexico. Maybe I have a thing for Mexicans?

It's nothing jaw dropping when you look at the common van gogh remake & the overdone feminine naked back scene...yet I'm fascinated enough that I looked at more of his work.




All of his art seemed to mainly involve naked women so I'll just stick to posting this one.
I like this one. I'm not sure this would work in my living room...or even as my facebook cover however.
