Fun on the Outer Banks
I think my life is so saturated by school that I'm not a fan of writing about such things, hence the long latency between posts. Put another way, I haven't done much else significant outside of school. And that's not to say I haven't had fun. I've certainly had time to play soccer, go running, hang out with friends, host a wine and cheese party, and even volunteer at Habitat. Those are all nice little distractions from school, but not really of any significant time period.This weekend, though, a few of us visited a classmate who is doing his family medicine rotation in Eastern North Carolina. So we rented a little house on the beach of the Outer Banks and spent the weekend playing on the beach and soaking up the last of the autumn sun.
Things I did this weekend I've never done or haven't done since I was a kid:
- touched an Atlantic stingray and a horseshoe crab
- (attempted to) fly a kite, at night no less
- got pinched by a crab
- built a "sandcastle" and then a sand turtle
- climbed a huge sand dune and then rolled down (though not all the way)
- ran around on the beach without a care in the world :-)
Pretty awesome trip, but now back to the normal life. I start on inpatient pediatrics tomorrow. Probably not as fun as outpatient peds since the hours are longer and the kids are sicker, but likely more educational.
