How have I lived (and taken photos) without a proper flash all this time?? I am shaking my head as I see the test shots I have taken all evening in my dark backyard after buying a flash for my camera today. Not only am I giddy about finally buying the flash but I got a super sweet deal on both the sb-600 flash and the 55-200 VR Nikon lens I've been wanting to buy. This guy on craigslist wanted to get rid of both so bad and he gave me an awesome deal...too good to resist. So for the past few hours, my poor family has had a camera in the face and flashing lights in their eyes. I'm pretty sure they won't miss me when I leave! Ha!
On a side note, it has been too much fun and giggles doing Neurology at UNSOM here in Vegas. My attendings are super cool and chill and I have been seeing the most interesting neurological cases thus far. I'm sure my parents think I'm going to become a neurologist. Not quite though...I still love the babies and especially the mothers I deliver them to:) So far, I've stuck to my guns and am still thinking OB. I leave in exactly one week to head down to the DEEP SOUTH...the motherland aka "Samoa". I am so excited to go home again! It's been only a couple years but it feels like forever ago! I'll be doing my month long international elective in Obstetrics. Luckily, LBJ Tropical Medical Center is a bonafide baby factory!! Holla to the island girl that will be delivering them:)
But for now, I have to learn how to safely pack my camera gear, pack enough scrubs and tank tops (hot and humid is waiting for me on the island), and hopefully learn enough about child neurology in my one day on the service tomorrow.
