A strange feeling

Its strange, for the first time in med school, I am feeling a strange sense of contentment and happiness these last few days on anesthesia. Part of it, I’m sure is getting out before 3pm every day which has been Sah-weet! Then again the adult anesthesiologists get out at 4p which is not bad at all either. But beyond the hours, just feeling like I have more energy (working out every day this week), confidence (intubated successfully twice today!) and curiosity (been motivated to read about 1.5 hrs each day this week). Its been really quite nice. Plus being back in NH when it is sunny and just doing my own thing has been really great. Eating when I want, sleeping when I want, having some extra time to study or work on my business. All of this has really made me quite happy . . . aaaahhhhh, anesthesia it is . . .
