Too close to see the growth

I am pretty sure that I have learned at least SOMETHING in the past 5 weeks or so. I am sure that it is measurable in some manner.

But I couldn't be the one to judge that.

This experience, I am sure, is somewhat like watching my puppy, Tesla, grow. At first, I could tell that she was growing even though I was around her almost all of the time. But now, the reason I can tell that she is growing is because I am gone the whole week and I only see her on the weekends.

The point...

I feel like I haven't grown or learned much in the past 5 weeks. What I have noticed are things that I don't feel are important. For example, I definitely feel more confident walking into a patient's room and FEELING like I am supposed to be there.

To me, important things deal with knowledge. I wish that I could remember something from just hearing it once and be able to apply it to situations as needed. I would like more confidence in my abilities (this last statement is kind of funny if you think about the fact that I have been talking about having learned nothing yet).

Well, this post is just kind of "blah." I really like the doctor that I am working with right now and I don't want to go back to the other one. Not that the other one is bad, but I like this pace better.
