Burn and Rave

I am currently in between rotations, so this is the first weekend I haven’t had to go to the hospital on Sunday.  Time, however, must still be spent wisely.  I still have a whole list of things to get done.  Wrapping up papers from my last rotation, starting to read material for my next rotation, catching up with friends, spending time with family (thank goodness my parents and grandparents like taking a siesta so that I can have some midday time to myself!), making plans for the elementary class I teach at my church, and cleaning up my room, cleaning up my mess in various parts of the house, and working out.

I love being busy, because I feel very productive.  I can’t imagine living in another part of the world where life just lazily passes by, where the denizens have but one thing to do on their list for the day - go to the bank, go to the cafe, or go visit a friend.  My day is made up of all of those and more.  On the other hand, I wonder if they live longer.  Even if they do, I am satisfied with my life and my responsibilities.  I think that’s the most important thing to discover in life - the perfect balance needed for satisfaction.  

Now, I am off to start the washer to clean my sheets and then back to the computer to work on my cardiothoracic surgery papers, followed by running and then planning the next quarter for my class.  My day is filled with organized chaos and I dig it!
