Pethidine Pleasure

Back from sunny Tauranga! No more mountain climbing or trips to the beach for a while now... until my holiday in Hawaii - where I won't have to freeze my gluteus maximus off to enjoy great scenery! I really can't believe that my elective is so close. After 18 months of planning and about 200 emails, the only thing that stands between me and the airport is a 6 week paediatric attachment.

There are a few loose ends I have to tidy up before I leave, such as my absolute pigs sty of a bedroom! Oh! The tremendous amount of junk I've collected during med school. Yesterday, I cleaned out all of the journal articles I've collected over the years. By the time I finished cleaning out the filing cabinet, my room was even more messy than when I started! Then there's my wardrobe with old clothes in it which I haven't worn once since moving from Christchurch! I've really declared war on all of my rubbish, but I think it's going to turn nasty. The avalanche of useless waste is falling faster than I can run!
