Dearest blog, aren't you just a little bit tired of me coming to you to deposit all my heavy thoughts and feelings, or rather snippets of them, and then leaving for months and years, only to come back and do the same thing over and over? I know I would be tired. But has there been anything I succeeded in really sustaining commitment so far...?
Well, things are about to change. Or rather, things have to change. I started practicing commitment by getting a puppy. By general definition, an eight-year-old, 40-kg-heavy dog wouldn't be termed a puppy, but we're not going by general definition anyway. When I look at Lucy, a see a puppy. A big, very big puppy, but a puppy nonetheless. So a puppy she is. We've been together for about four months, and things are going great so far. But now I am starting to work - a big change for both of us obviously - so we have to see how things will turn out to be.
This brings me to the other news I'd like to share with you. Yes, I am finally starting as a real doc, working in the Rheumatology department as I wanted. I can't really tell you much more, because it was my third day today, and all I've seen are orientation/introductory lectures. The highlight of which was a lecture by one of the attendings in the Mibi department, who looked and spoke exactly like Edna in The Incredibles. And I met my colleagues, who are all really fun and nice to be with so far, so I really do not have anything to complain about. I will probably come running to you the first time I have a crisis, which most likely will be a reality check that just won't fit with my idealist bum. Well, we'll see.
It's nicer to think about family, because we're having new recruits. My cousin just joined the Big House and will stay for at least a year, starting her studies here in Leipzig. My auntie, who is only a three years older than me, is delivering a baby in a couple of days. Exciting times it is for all of us, as you can tell. All this makes me happy because the part in me that loves new input, including people, hasn't changed one bit. In addition to family recruits, I am also making new friends at the workplace. That's still in the early stages so I can't tell who I'll be close to, but I am confident they'll enrich my life quite well. I will also try to enlarge my social circle outside of work, but one step at a time, I would say. Once I settle in a bit at work, I'll choose a sports place to join in.
Well, that was a non-dramatic update of my life. Maybe in a couple of days, I'll realize this is way too boring and go back to only coming for the drama again. Haha, we'll see. Peace out, bloggie!
