coming home

I'm done! A month of living in "squalor" in a dorm room with yelling students, hard beds covered in plastic, and no temperature control - done. Not to mention my rotation. I did learn a lot, and definately feel more comfortable with neonates now, but I will not miss the politics. That department is SO dysfunctional. They really need to work that out.

As for Jurgen, he has not signed on the dotted line, but may as well have. His last order of business tomorrow morning before we head back home is to have a "site visit". It is basically just a meeting with the VP of the College of Medicine, the head of Recovery, the OR, and and the Preassessment Unit. Merely a formality.

We have decided not to build a house like we were thinking. We are still going to buy a house here in Regina, but it won't be anything extravagant. Just a little townhouse like we have now. I just wasn't ready to commit to something that big. It just seemed too permenant. At least this way Jurgen still has a nice place to live, somewhere where I can come and live when I am in Regina, and we don't have to live in a dorm or with his parents (always a plus)

As for the thoughts about fellowships and where I want to live in the future....

Only the future knows the answer.
