there's nothing like the First Time

i just got paid! this is very exciting!! i'll try and forget the depressing part that involves how LITTLE my first "paycheck" was but hey, i'm working my way into the Positive.

Last week was quite possibly my most traumatic since internship has started. I'm now on Child Protectives Services and we had a clear case of Shaken Baby come into the intensive care unit. He ended up dying two days later... I feel like I've seen so much craziness in medical school, but nothing could really prepare me to think about how a parent can hurt his/her own child badly enough to kill him. There is not one sympathetic bone in my body for these type of people.

On Thursday, I was driving to an off-site hospital for training on All-Kids, when I got my first flat tire... in the middle of this scary Southside neighborhood. That really sucked. There's nothing like feeling totally vulnerable and clueless.

Onto happier topics, Dan had a moving away party. So these look kinda scary but tasty! He had a ton of other hors d'oeuvres that looked prettier and were also very tasty but of course I didn't take pictures of them. We had a lovely time with friends. I'm glad he's not moving far! :)

The weekend ended with Scoop. I heart Woody Allen. Even though he's a big Sketch Ball. I also think that Scarlett Johanssen is drop-dead gorgeous. Oh Hugh Jackman isn't bad either. :) So overall, a great movie. Similar to Match Point in a lot of ways but maybe funnier.
