(no subject)
Things have pretty much settled down. My friends seem to have fallen off the face of the earth which is pretty annoying since I'm about to leave. Technically I can see James whenever I want but there's no way I'm getting on any major freeway during labor day weekend and I'm planning on going down to DC to see Eric one of the two weekends after that. Chrissy is going off to London for the semester so I won't see her until December or January. The same with Megha. Though I don't usually see her very often, I always enjoy talking to her. It just doesn't seem like a lot of people are willing to put forth much effort.
So we're heading out on Tuesday. We'll get to Waltham by the evening of the 27th and then move into the room on the 28th. I'll have to get all my suff from Ben's house, figure out what else we need to buy and then take care of that too.
I've pretty much finished the discussion for that paper I've been working on. I sent it off to the two doctors I'm working with. Unfortunately neither one can be bothered to reply. I find this whole thing incredibly frustrating. It's the same kind of thing that frustrated me last summer. something that should take a week or two will probably end up taking more than a month. I realize they're both really busy but I can't help but feel unappreciated and like what I'm doing has no value to them.
The packing is going well, I have all of my clothes save the coats and jackets packed in my big duffle bag. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so much of a girl and didn't need quite so many pairs of shoes. I tried to cull it back as much as I could but I've still got far too many. I guess it's alright since I'm moving out on my own at the end of the year. And I need to have nice/fancy things if I'm going to go on job interviews. At some point I should probably get like a jacket or blazer or sometihng.
My parents have started bugging me about what I'm going to do after graduation. I think it's enough that I know I want to move to New York or DC and get a job, hopefully in health policy, do that for 1-3 years and then go to grad school at Sarah Lawrence to do a masters in health advocacy. Most of my classmates seem to still be in denial over the whole prospect of graduating. Except the premeds, but I think those kids decided years ago exactly what they wanted to do. Most of them even have a specialty in mind.
They opened an Aroma coffee shop in New York and I REALLY want to go. For those not familiar, Aroma is the largest coffee chain in Israel. It's a proper european style coffee shop with great coffee (they put actual pieces of chocolate in your mocha) good pastries, yummy sandwiches on fresh baked bread and big Israeli salads. I guess I just want to be somewhere familiar and comfortable. I little touch of Israel here. In case anyone is wondering, it's on Houston near Greene street in SoHo. There's also a Max Brenner (Israeli chocolate bar) near union station. Next semester I'll probably make sure to watch Eretz Nehederet every week. I guess going abroad really did have a strong affect on me.
