Streetlights

So first week of clinical has finished, and it felt like 6 weeks already.

That's the bad thing about doing your clinical at private practice is that you end up doing more work than learning. After a week or two you know how to fill the paperwork, what projections and where to put stuff, so the last 3 to 4 weeks is just grinding through the work. So for the past 2 days I've pretty much been going through the motions in automatic, like chest x-rays I can do them blindfolded (metaphorically speaking, of course). On Wednesday, it was all me holding down the general x-ray fort for an hour and a half. The general radiographer had to go help in CT, so it wall me by my lonesome. I think that was the hardest I've ever worked on a clinical.

Now I'm procrastinating over making my costume stuff for my friend's 21st tomorrow. It's just a bit of cutting and pasting, which is probably why I'm procrastinating since it's fairly easy to do. I'm planning to dress as a Navy Admiral, like this:
...since it's less work than trying to do this:
...and cheaper over all as well.

Far out I'm tired. Working 8 hours a day for no pay is pretty tiring. At least the full radiographers are getting something for all their hard work. Experience can only go so far. I might just go to sleep early. Here's a little movie trailer. Looks pretty awesome.
