Today was a good day. When it's 2-4-6 its super chill. i love it. ne ways after school i walked to the bus stop to go to mount sinai. __________________________________________________________________________________________

i waited not too long and arrived right on time. signed in. and went to work. today i got to work side by side with a surgeon. oh man it was so nice. i mean thts wht proves to me i really wanna become a doctor. i loved it. he was teaching me some stuff. about stuporous, lethargic, coma, and brain death. how they all are similiar but very much alike. and then he showed me a patient who was brain dead. poor thing ( thts prolli the hardest part for me if i become a doctor, having to see so much people suffer). well the old man was on this breathing tube. the doctor explained to me tht the heart and the brain are two different departments. although they work with each other. the heart can work without the brain. but a person cannot breath without the brain. it was a rather complex subject, but i tried to follow closely to his explanation. it was so intriguing. i loved it man i loved it.
welp the thing is this. today in the morning they were debating whther the patient was under coma or was brain dead. in the end they had to remove his breathing tube for some reason i didnt quite understand. time passed and yea... i was sitting doing some paperwork ,the doctor was always passing by me making me smile :), or making a joke to make me laugh. he is so cool.. and den the alarm goes off on bed 08. the patient passed away. tht was the saddest part of my day..... there was a long silnece and a great deal of crying. it wasnt the first time i saw it happen, but this time seemed different. it caught me more by surprise... eh. after tht a few minutes later i had to go to the blood bank to pick up some platellets of blood. carried the bag of blood upstairs and then came down and grabbed my stuff and left. i got home around 730. and yea. havent done much since. i think imma go into the shower. the long bus ride from mount sinai to my house got me thinkin alot of stuff. i realize many things i thought were true werent and many things i thought wud happen arent. so basically i just give up. sort of find myself lik Mersualt from the stranger. (if u dont kno ask me) kinda indifferent towards everything. Maybe imma have to be like Hamlet, talk to myself cause I'm too smart for people to understand me. ha ha. im just kidding im just kiddin. yeaAAAA!! right.lol. im not that smart , i'm smart but not a genius! You know who is smart? Arturo is smart :). lol. ok. welp thts it for now. i dont think i have much to say ne more. i just dont kno wht to do since today is the first OFFICIAL day i have NO HOMEWORK!!!!! wht a fn miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and now with all this free time i dont kno wht to do..:( oh wello.
