Neonates and exam time

Babies are cute and oh, what a meeting
Although I'm enthused, this feeling is fleeting

I thought I'd make a quick little update, share a few random thoughts so that I could procrastinate a little more.

Last week in ASCM was probably the best ASCM session I've ever had, mostly because I got to play with babies. Like, babies. Like, newborns. Like, 12 hours old. It was awesome. I don't think that this really changes anything, because I still am not a huge baby and child fan (as in, I don't think I could work with them, day in and day out, and even worse, work with their annoying parents), but playing with babies (I mean...learning the neonate physical exam...) was awesome. The babies were so new that they hadn't even had a bath yet, and had crusty blood on their heads and pooped meconium at me. It was...strangely...cute. Maybe it's the vestiges of a well-hidden maternal instinct in me that thinks poo is cute. Not sure.

Anyways, it was great.

I'm also really enjoying two albums right now:
(1) William Fitzsimmons: The Sparrow and the Crow
(2) The Stills: Without Feathers

Additional random thought: trying to decide whether or not to open the blog back up publicly again. I've stopped ranting childishly and in an angry fashion...I don't think anything I've written is particularly contentious or has the potential for career-harming...maybe? And at any rate, it's a delisted blog which can't be searched; however, I think I like my privacy. Except for the fact that I get far fewer comments on my posts since I securitized it up. Will continue to ponder as I memorize the pediatric immunization schedule.
