emptiness

There seems to be an emptiness that has settled into life. My daily routine appears so mundane now, with no goal or purpose. There's something missing, but as of yet it's hard to admit. People say that it's because this is the hardest stretch of intern year, but I know exactly why. I need to get through this, and it will take time, and maybe it won't even work out. Not sure where we're going in these crazy days. I will expound on this later, just more food for thought.

So it's been a week since I finished my ICU rotation. Life is a bit more stable now that I'm not spending every 3 nights in the hospital. 2 more ward months, 3 more months in internship. I'm looking forward to the end of internship, although being a resident is still intimidating.

In other news, my parents and Will went back to Taiwan this past month. My dad recently came back, and my mom and brother should be arriving soon tonight. From the sounds of it, they had a great time. I just realized that it's been about one year since I was last in Taiwan. Maybe it's time to take another trip.
