Decided it was time, after 72 weeks of no new posts, to finally put something in writing. I'm working, a lot, finally found a fantastic house, which, with a little stretching, I can afford to rent. I am excited to live somewhere that I like, for the, hopefully, little bit of time I have left in California. As soon as I finish school I hope to leave this place, back to Eugene. I am really excited about that, and use that, every day, as my way to continue on with a crazy life here. Other things. I am almost through with my second quarter of grad school. That means, after this one is done, I'll only have five quarters to go. That makes me pretty excited, especially since one of those quarters only has four units. SO EXCITED.
As for work, I work on an oncology and orthopedics ward. Some days I think I have a great job, other days, I am totally sad about the people I take care of, how sad their lives are, how sick they are. Usually it's not too bad, but when you are taking care of a twenty year old with stage 4 cancer it is pretty hard not to be sad. It is amazing the diseases people get young in this country, and even more amazing that people don't do everything possible to take care of themselves. It makes me really sad. Other than that, I love my job, I think it's awesome, and I think I am doing something great for society
That's it for now, just felt a need to put some stuff down.
