Darkness

Today, while driving home from work (I got out early from work today-- 2:00 pm), I thought I was lost for a second because none of my surroundings looked familiar (I am on an away rotation at an outside hospital about 40 min away). Then I realized that I have just never seen my route in the daylight (I leave at 6am and return at 7pm). Scary.

Holding Doors

I love the gesture when someone holds a door open for me. It says "I see you behind me, and I acknowledge that you live in the same world as me. Rather than let the door slam in your face, I will take the extra moment of my life to make your's a little easier." True Courtesy.

Bad Day

Woke up an hour late, although I didn't realize it until I took my good old time getting ready (body lotion, make-up, blow-dry, etc). Was about to make coffee to take with me to work when I looked at the clock and "realized" what time it was. Rushed out of the house while paging the other medical student and totally wiped out on the ice outside of my house. Banged up elbow (thankfully not head). Cell phone went flying and the battery fell off effectively disconnecting me from my important phone call-- had to call the page operator AGAIN. Hopped in the car and tried not to speed, because I can't get any more tickets or I'll have to take another written points test (already had to take one this year.... I swear I'm not a bad driver!). Turned out not to be such a bad day, except that is now 12 AM and I have to get up at 5 so that I am not late tomorrow!
