Today I had my first day for my sub-internship for labor and delivery. Subi is like being an intern (the first year of residency) but not quite as hard – it’s kind of like being between a medical student and an intern – more expectations, but still limited responsibility. It was great. Things are very different here, people are much more friendly & easy to get along with. :) And they tell me funny things, like I have an accent, but they always know how to say my last name which is so delightful after years of correcting people.

I also am walking to work which is cool, I like the walking thing. When I was in graduate school, I lived in an area where I could walk to do my basic errands and I really enjoyed having that option. Of course, I don’t have a car so finding basic things isn’t quite as easy but working it out!

    I miss being able to walk to everything. sigh

    I’m so glad that everything sounds so great in Hawaii… but of course it does…it’s Hawaii! LOL! Do you “know” http://islandlife808.com/? She’s on Oahu.

    Now the only thing to make this better would be for “Mr Right” to show up while you’re there. hee hee ;)

    Hooray for having people who can readily pronounce @%$! I’m glad to hear the people are friendly and funny, too…and, yes, we do have an accent. :-D Best Wishes!

    I’m so happy to hear that everything is going so well for you. I can relate to the walking thing….I really enjoy being able to do that in my small town, rather than always depending on the car to get somewhere. So keep enjoying!
