Field Trip!

Today was adventurous.  I got to go on a therapy field trip to the Red Butte Gardens in Salt Lake City, less than 2 miles from University Hospital.  I'd heard of this place before, but it exceeded my expectations... I mean, look at this:

This is a view of the "Fragrance Garden"...they had a rose garden, children's garden (so cute!), herb garden, etc... I think I could have spent a whole day there walking around enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells.  Unfortunately, we did have to go back to the hospital...

After tomorrow, I will officially be half way done with my internship!  I have pretty mixed feelings about it.  Mostly, I'm excited to be finished because of how tiring it is to have 13 hour days (4 hours of which is commuting).  But I know that I am learning so much, and I do enjoy getting to know my patients, and feeling like I'm [hopefully] making a difference in their lives.  When the internship ends, I'm sure I'll miss seeing the people I've gotten to know so well.... but then again.... not having to wake up at 5 am sounds really nice.

Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. :)
