Actually I've been gone for a while now, nearly a month. I'm slowly getting acquainted with all those things lacking in Florida...vegans, protesters, activists, homeless people, people under the age of 100, mexican people, asian people. Not that these are mythical creatures in a magical land, it's just I never saw any of these people in FL. In theory I should be well into my research on conduct disorder, but I mostly sit on my ass all day. My PI is on vacation and left me nothing to do, so I rent movies take care of the little details before school starts like vaccinations and financial aid. Sounds carefree, but a neurotic like me needs a hobby to take her mind off of herself. I am trying to get out to see the city, but I feel like I need a partner in all this, having never done anything by myself before...go to a movie, go out to dinner, etc. My roommates are pretty cool people (some of the time, they are on a hectic rotation system and sometimes bite my head off unexpectedly) Ok that last point does bug me...that kind of resentment and maltreatment is the kind of thing reserved for family and good friends only.
I do love the house though...it's a 3 bed 2 bath and it's really cute. I don't want to move but if I can't find 2 other people to take over the lease in the fall, I may have to. I put up ads on the UCSF web site and just recently craigslist. Please God no psychos.
I have this awful feeling that I am going to be the class pariah when I start. I don't know why...maybe because I go entire days without talking to anyone (ok over the phone I talk plenty) So a big thanks to those who call me and keep me sane (somewhat).
I'm going back to Bakersfield next week for 5 days and I cannot wait. You read right, I prefer Bakersfield to San Francisco at this moment.
I have a killer headache, so now it's time to end this post and my suffering with a much needed excedrin.
