It's all over
Well, after 3 months on the road, I've finally returned home to Auckland. It's been such an amazing journey and I just can't believe it's all over. From those nervous first moments leaving Auckland airport, to the beaches of Honolulu, to finding my accommodation via the Toronto Subway, to Times Square in New York, to Niagara Falls, to the mountins at Whistler, to Federation Square in Melbourne, to arriving back in Auckland feeling like a totally different person... gosh what an amazing feeling!
The time away really was like a dream. In a way I wish it could last for ever, but probably part of what made the time special was that in the back of my mind, I knew it would only last for a finite time.
Unfortunately I've had to come back to reality rather quickly with a whole week of radiology teaching. It isn't quite as bad as I expected and I think the tutors know that we're all still in holiday mode so they don't drill us too hard. Honestly, I suck so badly at radiology! Everything looks the same to me. Blood, fat, fluid, bones... who cares!?!??! You don't have to worry about me overordering radiological tests because I will avoid looking at them at all costs!!! I think my psychic powers have more chance of reaching a diagnosis than my brain trying to interpret a T2 weighted MRI or whatever it's called...
I had my elective interview yesterday - the chance of the med school to make sure that I've actually come back. They asked me all sorts of questions, such as what my most memorable moment was... but I wasn't really sure what to say because I felt like talking about my encounters with celebrities, or travelling to New York, or the week I spent in Vancouver... but I couldn't think of anything medically related! Anyway, it's all in my elective report! Just read it and save me from having to think!!!!
