Day One DIT (Doctor in Training)

First day as baby Doctor Hartley

Not exactly what I had in mind. Struggling to think back on what my first day at Notts was like. Think it might have been something similar-ish.

Met a couple of new people today - Adella, David, Christine, Henry, Rosetta, Ben..

They all seem fairly nice - defo all come from medical families. Previous degrees haven't trained the poshness out of them (not that that's necessarily a bad thing). Adella is lovely, she's nice and normal. Think I will get on well with her :)

Have much reading to catch up on tonight - clinically orientated anatomy and basic histology for tomorrow and Thursdays session. Easing in gently, they let us finish at 14:45 today. Instead of heading onto campus to find the bookstore came home to get a head start. Notice no-one said anything about going for a bonding sesh (myself included) at the pub but suspect that's where the rest if my colleagues are. Told you it'd be primary school all over again. Some things never change.

GP visits have been allocated. Have placement furthest away it could possibly be - in Stourbridge. Pain. In. The. Arse. To get to

Am thinking about joining a couple of societies - emergency medicine and surgsoc.. Maybe even medsin again. Who knows..

Feeling a bit depressed today. Weather is awful which doesn't help. Don't think it's anything to do with school, think I might be missing family and friends and also because I have no food in the house... Let's see what tomorrow brings.
