The past three days haven't been perfect -- from going twelve hours without eating, to working from 6 am to 7:30 pm (and still being the first resident to leave), to sleeping through my alarm and entirely missing morning rounds, I haven't done the greatest job of adjusting to this routine -- but next week will be better! Here are some things I enjoyed this past week:
- Halloween decor on the wards -- Some of the wards have put up great decorations, which makes walking around to round and consult a little more fun!
this ward wins for best decor someone had a lot of patience (and perhaps few patients) - hospital tunnels -- A tunnel network connects buildings at the subbasement level of the hospital. I'll take creepiness over -40 degree temperatures!
catacomb - starry walks to work -- One benefit of walking to work at 6 am is the clear starry skies we've had all week. I haven't seen much of the stars since I moved to the city!
- Google tricks -- Try typing "google gravity" and clicking "I'm feeling lucky". Or Google "tilt" or "do a barrel roll". Google also knows "the answer to life the universe and everything".
type "google gravity" and click "I'm feeling lucky" Google the word "tilt" Google and Douglas Adams concur - a sunny morning -- Edmonton is one of the sunniest cities in Canada and it's so nice to come home from call to find the morning sunlight filtering into my apartment. I also caught a great sunrise from the top floor of the hospital -- a nice way to end my last call shift.
a cheery morning sunrise; Commonwealth Stadium silhouetted on the right - university buildings -- I've lived here for four months but only wandered into the building across the road for the first time this week. I love its architecture and think it would be a great place to study. I hope to check out more of the interesting and classical old ivy-covered buildings on campus.
exploring the campus - hospital chapel -- I've hurried past this door a hundred times and was curious enough to walk in for the first time this week. Who knew that the hospital had such a nice little chapel, complete with lovely stained glass windows.
a break from the bustle -- the hospital's room of requirement
