New Year, New possibilities
I'm starting to enjoy this living on the East Coast deal, or perhaps it is merely the luck of placement. Living in Fells Point,I can walk to the store, to school, to my internship, to local parks, and the local mall. Living in the middle of the city, my dislike grows of living in suburbia where you have to drive everywhere and people live in houses way too large to be necessary. And I love snow!! I love how everyone was walking around the community the past couple days, talking and laughing and actually interacting with each other, because no one could drive cars and people actually associated with other people as opposed to faceless vehicles interacting with other faceless vehicles.
I also am loving this Public Health masters, and pursuing a PhD is exceedingly tempting. Guess I will have to see what goes on with medical school this year. Mmm, we will see. It's frustrating and exciting at the same time to have the future still so open. But it's no longer a purgatory; I feel myself moving in a positive direction finally and [despite the ever nagging presence of school loans] I am looking forward to MD, PhD, just a masters, whatever happens, I know I will be armed to pursue meaningful rewarding work that is actually fulfilling.
The frustrations, interestingly, are nothing new - mainly arguments with my mom (definitely not new), dealing with disingenuous "friends" (seen that before), and bouts of loneliness that are inevitable with being in a different place in which I know only a few people.
Thinking of going back to Europe and to Lebanon this summer, if I can save up the funds. And definitely cosplaying Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins. She is mah Lulu of 2010. I love black magic witchy types <3 Maybe it comes with being a mezzo lol.
Back to studying history of public health. Just discussed plague and quarantine and now we are on to advents in sanitation, woo!
