And So I Begin to Sell That Part of My Soul

I've recently been working at the hospital, doing an internship for school (YAY I can finally get credit for the hours that I spend there).  One of the Interns that I recently started working with, and quite frankly, I really wish she had come in sooner - I was not too thrilled about the last resident, had suggested starting a blog and just keeping track of all the really weird things you see from day to day, so that by the end of your career you can look back on it and think, "Damn, I had one hell of a ride."
So I think I'll start this - I have several blogs, none of them really I kept up with.  I don't know what makes this one different but I'm determined to keep up with it.  Update with my experiences in the hospital, my life, my misery in preparing for medical school, and other miscellaneous things.
So why Sell Your Med Soul? Because I'm a nerd - I've heard Solu-Medrol a billion times during this internship. Play on words I guess - and appropriate.  I'm determined to stay on track to complete my dream - but at the same time keep up with the rest of my life and keep it in tact.  Only selling part of my soul to medicine.  The medical part of my soul.
The entire month of June I was in the hospital 9-4.  Which basically means I'm there 15 minutes before, and 15 after.  During those 7.5 hours at the hospital I've seen so many incredible things, learned so many things, met really incredible people, and some not so incredible people.  Definitely an experience I'll never forget, and definitely an experience that confirmed my dreams.
Last night I actually sat down with my MCAT book and started studying - Goal was to make it through Lecture 1.  I got 80% of it done, not bad I guess.  I'm off now to continue studying and continue updating my log for school (I'm up to July 14, I'm a little behind... I should get on that right?)
