Like A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off…Or Something

I start third year on Monday.

I knew I started with medicine, but until yesterday not where. I head on Monday to a military hospital. I’m actually looking forward to that. I’ve heard nothing but good things about going through there and I think it is something interesting to start with. I figure you’ll see a younger population and probably less of the same.

There is a little bump in the road, I only now know that I need my registration and inspection to be up to date in order to drive on base.

In a stunningly bad coincidence, my car’s inspection runs out at the end of this month (i.e. today). Trouble is, it is raining down here and I have a personal horror study of trying to get an inspection done while it’s raining. Long story, short: You can’t get it done (at least per the rules) because the slick pavement doesn’t allow effective testing of your car’s brakes.

It should dry up later today though. If not maybe I’ll be hitching a ride to my first day of my first rotation.
