much more trivial
So, let us update about my sister first. I talked to her yesterday. She seemed very sad, a little tearful, "hates it" at the hospital, wants to be home. Although I know that I am trying very hard to see hope in this situation, I do legitimately wonder if it's not a step forward to just admit that she's sad instead of spending all of her time and energy pretending things are okay. I feel like maybe if she lets go of all that pretense, then she'll actually have some energy to put into getting better. I think that the fact that she's not going back to school this year probably will help; the only people she needs to be around are her family and doctors, and we her family all love her and don't want her to pretend with us.
Anyway, she started some new medicines yesterday, and, per my mom, they're already helping a bit, making her feel a bit calmer and like she can think more clearly. So I hope that those will continue to work...
I studied quite a bit today. Unfortunately, I really needed to have started studying in earnest on Monday, but this past week has been such a rollercaster nightmare that I didn't. So I was reviewing path this week, and I have a year of path to review and I am only up to October or so. And tomorrow I start reviewing pharm. I'll try to do a little bit more path, though, too.
Also, I got my iPod Touch today, courtesy of the med school and the US government (for giving me loans so that I can pay my tuition that includes the bill for the iPod Touch). It is such a neat toy! The school had indicated that, although we'd have to put a bunch of medical-ish applications on it, we "might" have some room for our own music. Might?? I put all of the required apps on it this evening and I still have 15 gigs left. I could put almost all of my music on it. I don't have wireless internet here at my house, so I will take it to school sometime this weekend and test it out.
And, in other minor news, I am going to see the Wolverine movie with the boy tomorrow. He was quite excited about it and indicated that he had not planned to ask me to see it because it was a guy movie and he didn't want to pressure me. So I suggested it, because I knew he wanted to see it, and I quite honestly wouldn't mind seeing it. So, tomorrow evening I will turn off my brain and watch a lot of things blow up.
Lastly, 1) I didn't have a very good workout today and feel like a failure, and 2) I just ate many many strawberries, and they were tasty.
And with that, those are all the minor details about my life.
