New Life

I have been super busy with my residency. Now I am working on the Antibiotic Assistance program at Theradoc. We just did our latest publication, take a look. It's pretty cool for physicians to use on rounds to determine what antibiotic to give. I helped test menningitis and surgical prophylaxis. I am working on intra-abdominal infection and that will be published in January. Check out the link:

Aside from working, I am still in school. The classes are just a blur for me since I don't really have time to study. I think I will take a break until I have more time in the future and get back to it. Now is just not the most optimal timing for another degree.

Well, as for my wedding plans... it's going. My dress-shopping experience has been disastreous. I found a dress pretty quick, but getting it fixed is like a pain. Now I know why marriage is one of the most stressful events in life, unfortunately divorce is rank lower than marriage. So one way of looking at it is that there is nowhere else to go but up once you get married. I have been so upset over the dress thing, I don't think I will help with anything else on the wedding. It's so frustrating, why don't people elope? It's a perfect good way to spend your hard earn money than waste it on a party that you may not enjoy in the end.

My residency class is ok. I never see them because I am always offsite, but at the same time, I realize I already have a life here at SLC and I am so busy even without them. At first I thought it will be cool to have a group to hang with, but now we hardly ever have time for them, unfortunately. Maybe if they all ski in the winter, it will be better, but until then, I guess I won't see too much of them.

An update on my fish. They are HUGE!! They must have grown 10 times since their original size. They are about 1.5 inches long and FAT. I don't know if they will grow anymore, but if they do, they will run out of hiding places in the fish tank.

Well, probably another update in another month or so. hehe
