I've passed the one month mark already but it feels like I've been here for ages. Time flies by weeks over here and yes, I'm coping. This is because I've learnt to sacrifice certain things like sleep and my poor blog.

After freezing my butt off at the operation theatre today, my very nice Specialist Registrar declined to sign my portfolio. Instead, she asked me to come back on Monday morning at 8am!!! This is so I can do ward rounds with her, scrub in and also because she wants me to insert some urine cathethers into patients. I would be jumping for joy, would be... but I'm oncall on Monday which means I'll be at the Women's on Monday from 8 am to hopefully 4 pm and then at 8pm through to 8 am Tuesday. Before I can say no, "Right, I'll see you Monday then, May!"

The warning bells for Burnout is ringing. I will try my bestest not to resort to Modafinil(anti sleep pill) just yet.
