Leaving Regina

Well, Monday will be my last day in Regina. I will be back for December and then I will be doing Anesthesia (which will be great!). I am looking forward to being back in Saskatoon, and back doing Anesthesia, and looking forward to being one step closer to being finished, but I am a little apprehensive about going back. I haven't had to do any call here, and that has been nice. I have had all of my weekends off, so I have been able to really enjoy myself. It has almost been like I have been a regular JOe (no punn intended!). In Saskatoon it will be back to the grind - call, presentations, studying, stress. And now, no husband. Sure, I take him for granted, but there is no one that understands me like he does! Despite what I say when I am mad at him, I will miss him. I am of two minds about the next 23 months (who's counting?!). On one hand I can't wait for it all to be over and to start really LIVING (I can't believe how much happier Jurgen is now that he is working). On the other hand, I am dreading the process of finishing. I know that the next 2 years will be hard (perhaps the hardest thing I have ever had to do), and that is very daunting. I also have a lot of doubt - Can I really do this? Am I smart enough? Will I be able to handle it? will I be good at my job?
I guess we all have self doubt. The only way to really find out if we are good enough/smart enough is to see it through to the end!
Wish me luck....
