the world without end is a place where souls are combined

All right, a real update. I'm not doing the nursing program. Frankly, I'm not smart enough. I'm not saying I'm an idiot, because I'm not and I know I'm not. My brain is just not science oriented in even the slightest way. It's much more abstract/artistic/literature/common sense/etc. I thought I could force my brain to work well enough in science to be able to do it but it can't and won't. I've never been good at science, I don't know why I would suddenly start being good at it now.
Instead I'm doing a 17 week Dental Assistant program. I started this week. It's one night a week outside of Boston, and after New Years I'll be working full time. After one class I know it's a pretty good fit. I think I'll be happy with it. In the first meeting he referenced Nip/Tuck and said "if this is your favorite show and you really like the blood and guts stuff, then you should go into oral surgery which covers everything from wisdom teeth to nose jobs." I didn't even know this would be an option. But I am all over that. (shout out to Malia - I CAN'T BELIEVE NIP/TUCK IS OVER UNTIL NEXT FALL AHHHH!) So it'll either be that or pediatric dentistry... not that those two are polar opposites or anything.
I'm happy, pretty healthy (getting over bronchitis), and excited/nervous about Christmas. David meeting my parents should be interesting... but we'll survive.
I'm off to decorate the Christmas tree. Take care.

"I don't know what else to say. I have inside me an overwhelming love for people I've never met. I hope you are all happy and well. I hope you have comfort and peace or at least SOMETHING to get you through tough times. Don't feel stupid or weak to need or want something to help you through. It's okay to be human; we can't be anything else."
