Feeling comfortable at work is not something that should be underrated in my field. Being able to prioritize, time manage, delegate, and chart while dealing with emotionally labile patients and interns is QUITE the accomplishment.
So now it's time to move on. I interviewed for a position in a critical care unit. I, of course, interviewed fabulously and am 99% sure the manager wants to hangout, but will the stars align and I actually get to sign on the dotted line? Fingers crossed. This would be a whole new world, with all new challenges, ripping me from my new found comfort and confidence on my unit. Apparently, I love to make myself uncomfortable.
I was reminded of this odd habit of mine when discussing my solo europe trip years ago. I was one ballsy 19-year-old to pack one bag and fly myself to another world for an entire month. Oh man, I am craving that adrenalin.
Alex and I just started planning a trip to Turkey. I'm planning on adding Greece to the itinerary, he just doesn't know it yet. I cannot wait to get on a plane that will touchdown in a place I can't read the signs. It's truly a terrifying experience and a great way to discover how resilient an resourceful you can be.... With another person?
A trip to a foreign land, and I'm not talking Cabo, with your significant other might be one serious test on your relationship. We will have a grand time, there is no doubt about that, but there will be more than a couple squabbles..
Let the planning begin.
