and here endeth my second day as a clinical psych intern at prince court! ^^ there's something ridiculously happy about stepping off that elevator in the morning and walking the hospital lobby. i remember jacqueline telling me once that she'd be silently frustrated whenever her patients cancelled their appointments. back then i used to say "why?! isn't them NOT coming to the hospital a good thing?!" and she'd say back to me, aghast "hell no!". today... i understood what she meant.

i arrived at the lmc wing at 9:15am. sat down with my mentor and was briefed on today's duties. went to my desk and did lit reviews. ran down to the HR department to make copies for the seminar my mentor's conducting on saturday. came back up and continued at the computer. ran back down to HR with the second lot of papers my mentor forgot to attach. returned to my desk. left the lmc to buy a bottle of water. came back and drank my pills - in front of the computer. walked across the corridor to the staff lounge and had lunch (or in my case carrot sticks, apples and the shake supplement) with my bosses. went back to the computer and read more articles. my mentor left at 3:00pm. i called down to HR to find that the documents wouldn't be ready till tomorrow. i clocked out at 3:30pm.

i was at the hospital for six hours today and spent around 80% of tht time in front of the computer screen (if you include my bathroom breaks ;p). as much as i found the process interesting - what with me researching the psychological components involved in cardiac rehabilitation - i finally understood what jacq meant when she said NOT having patients throws off your entire day.

my mentor won't be around tomorrow but i still hv to report in so i can show her what i've compiled in my reviews over the last two days - an essay i am yet to get to unfortunately. for the first time in ages, staring at my computer is the last thing i want to do tonight ^^

here's to day three! ;)
