january update
i made an observation today, and i'm not exactly sure what to make of it.
every time a year ends, i find myself saying "last year was crap! this year will be better. it can't possibly be worse..."
but recently i've looked back and thought, "holy crap, i thought 2007 was bad- 2007 was NOTHING compared with the shittiness of 2008!"
and so with every passing year i learn that no matter how bad things seem, they can always get worse. i also learn that two years ago, things weren't nearly as bad as i thought they were.
it's my morbid take on seeing the bright side, on a two-year delay.
i'm feeling more optimistic that i won't be taking my summer trip to the dominican republic all alone-- i think i'll have a date :)
on the down side, cute physician's assistant with the sexy koi tattoo is married. flirting with that boy has occupied four months of my life, and i don't know how i'll move on! i *nearly* made a fool of myself today; for the first time in history i got ten minutes alone with him and i almost told him, "now's your chance!" 90 minutes later i found out he's married, and i've never been happier that i held my tongue.
dad had another surgery today, this time on his shoulder. it took forever because, well, let's just say there were some minor complications. he's fine, the surgery was a complete success and he's recovering as well as a 60-year-old baby ever will. but i had to pull every doctor and nurse aside to ask them PLEASE not to tell him there was a problem. he can't find out, otherwise he'll be an even bigger baby about his recovery, and he's already thinking about his next surgery. if someone tells him about this, he won't get another surgery ever again and will be in a perpetual state of pain and complaint.
we're keeping it from him for his own good.
i think i've said too much for a public post...but shit, who do i fancy is going to read this? my father? not bloody likely!
ok, time for bed. tomorrow i begin to study in ernest for the LSAT. oh, did i mention law school is a looming possibility?
here's to INSISTING that 2009 shows some real improvement.
