three and a half finals done, one and a half to go--
but now that the nausea has subsided i'm already feeling done and as though the "in retrospect" mode kicked in and i'm thinking about my first semester and the bits included, the anxiety to begin, the fear at new tasks, the overwhelming stress, the overcoming and eventually, the happy surprise of comraderie. an awful lot of learning has been squeezed into my eyeballs in one semester, and i think my muscles too. just another four and a half more years ahead.... o! i am saddest that my supervisor is no longer my supervisor after this semester, because she turned out to be plain fantastic.
this winter break includes travels to ohio and stacks of envelopes for applying to externships, mostly at hospitals, many with children, but some variety. i am dreaming of being placed somewhere walking distance from home, but trying to keep my mind open since the manhattan sites are so competitive. how long would it take for me to walk and swim to queens? i'm also in the midst of choosing a research advisor and topic, etc etc, so i'm not sure how breaky my break will be, but it will be a change of pace how surely.
my brother's return from afghanistan has been postponed to mid-march. however, when he gets back he's moving to the east coast (to DC), spouse and miniature human in tow.
