what's on your "wondering" list???
this is such a great list...I have many of them myself! We are going into his third year and the big wondering list right now for me is fellowship... where? in what? I know "most" people have it all decided it seems but he is still considering options. Three more years up in the air... it's Wondering with a capital W. (and that's saying something since I rarely capitalize my writing on purpose)
ReplyDeleteI wonder while I wander or I wander while I wonder... They say men think about sex every 6 seconds. I think medschool/intern/resident/fellow wives wonder every 6 seconds.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, no matter how great a situation is I'm always eager to embrace change. Once the change happens I judge whether the change was a good thing or a bad thing, but I always hope that change will bring a new and glorious opportunity or experience.
It's sooo easy to let your mind run wild with the wondering. You've made this huge decision and now are just in waiting mode. It is like the moment after the first big climb on a roller coaster where everything just stops and you're left hanging there for a moment before the momentum carries you through the crazy ride.
ReplyDeleteWe are heading into out 2nd year of residency so most of our big residency wonderings are on hold right now as it's too early to start thinking about fellowships and jobs...that will come next year. Right now the majority of our wonderings are fertility related and that's a list to big for the comment box.
