Being on elective

I feel like I'm drowning in free time. They let the preliminary students basically do whatever they want for their elective months (we get three months a year) and I'm choosing to finish up my research with the radiation oncology department at Penn. Not only do I really like the research, but my hours are soooo much better than when I'm doing a floor month. It's pretty much 9 to 5, it's closer to home, and the time I have to work is more flexible. For example, if I have to take an hour during the day to go to a doctor's appointment, I can do that! Also, all my weekends are free, which means I can make some of those weddings and ultimate tournaments this month.

I think it's going to be a great month and a little hard to go back.
