ADD
Could I have it? Do you ever have a stretch of time, be it a few hours or a few days, when you just can't concentrate one thing for more than a few minutes. Lately, that's been happening to me, specifically the last 48 hours. It's really bizarre because the things I really want to focus on, I get sidetracked and then start surfing the web looking up random things...well I guess not so random, but just less important. For example, I was reading an article, possibly one that I will be presenting next week, and then got the urge to look up a composer: Albert Nepomuceno. I had been listening to him while reading the article, but then got the urge to find about him, where I could get his music...which was frustrating because apparently he's some sort of obscure Brazilian composer. But things like that....
I miss soccer. Not necessarily the watching, but the playing. Being able to blaze past people is a fond memory, even fonder celebrating after someone scores or after a win. The camraderie of a tightnit group of people, almost like a family. Hmmm, I wonder if I should join the j.v. soccer team next year? That would be an extremely painful junior year no doubt, but hey, at least I'd be getting some instant gratification.
Onto more relevant issues...so my project, if I do my lacZ staining correctly, could be finished by Friday. That would be a whole month earlier than I need to present. I can't believe the luck that I'm having in this lab. I have my own space, my P.I. is pretty well known (at least in his circle), I have my own laptop (on which I'm able to kill time gloriously) and it's right across the street. Did I mention that I'm getting results for my project? This is alot better than the majority of the people here and also better than what the program directors expected many of us to get out of this experience. So, all-in-all, not so bad.
I've started to seriously consider taking many years off after graduation...Now if this actually would equate to finding some obscure career after graduation or "trying to find myself" and then discovering that actually I'm going to enter medicine, I don't know. However, I've been reaching constant conclusions that I need to see world before I'm locked down. peace corps? Military (ha, not so sure about that one), working in various labs, flight attendant? It seems kinda scary, but at the same time, terribly exciting. I wonder if I'll ever have the cojones to take on something like that.
Wow so this is getting pretty long, but I'm having fun. I love the city except for when it's hot. Because, as opposed to at home, heat also equates to grime and at the end of the day, you feel tons more disgusting, as if there's a layer of...stuff on you.
Hmm, I saw The Light in the Piazza the other day. It was quite the heartwarming story, but more importantly, the leads were pretty effin amazing. Fabrizio had an amazing voice, the mother of girl as well. The girl played her character to tee. It's one of my favorite shows that i've see, not that i've seen alot, but certainly more entertaining than phantom of the opera.
