My Surgery Rotation Was Like Menopause

   We had our orientation for OB/Gyn today, and I'm already super excited!  I just love learning about all these things, so it makes it easier to study.  A few friends and I decided that our surgery rotation was just like menopause.  It caused us to have insomnia, irritability, and the pimping gave us sweating and hotflashes.

    Last night, I had some really weird nightmares.  BF thinks it's my delayed processing of being done with my surgery rotation.  First I dreamed that I was in a car accident, and that 30% of my body got burned.  In the dream, I had circumferential burns on my left leg, so I was all scared because I knew I needed an escharotomy STAT (nerd alert!).  Then that dream ended, and my second dream was a lot more disturbing.  I dreamed that I was in high school again, and that someone was trying to push me into a big boiling vat of chemicals to burn me alive (yeah, I don't know what's up with the burn theme...) and I was freaking out because I knew how bad chemical burns were.  Somehow, I escaped, but then the villain shot up the whole school and I had to hide.  Eventually, I survived, and my dream ended with people evacuating the school, several of them in stretchers from being shot.  It was pretty freaky.

Nightmare

I just woke up to a vivid version of the nightmare that I often have (yes, at 7am O_O ).  I'm not gonna go into detail, but basically it's my insecurities that I try to ignore coming out full force in my dreams.  This one was particularly realistic, and I woke up very angry and shaken.  I only have this dream every now and then, so I suppose it's better for me to be aware of my insecurities via a sporadic nightmare than if they manifested themselves in my daily life.  *deep breath* I just hate when they seem so real!  Gotta shake it off, it was just a nightmare!

I guess this counts as "whatever tickles your fancy", right? ;)
