Life is a song, sing it.

went to the blues, brews and BBQ fest up in Beavercreek today. It snowed!! only in colorado…

but i heard some decent blues, got some bomb BBQ and was finally able to get a brew … the guy at the counter looked at my ID and said, “welcome to the club”..

I got a job! at NJH i’ll be doing a lot of things i haven’t done before. I’m very nervous, my worst nightmare is being in a patient’s room when everything goes wrong because of something i did… eh…lets not think about that… but its a relief to finally make some moolah

summer has finally started for me, baltimore finally feels like 1500 miles away.

i have become horribly addicted to gossip girl, i watched 23 episodes in 2.5 days, each is about 45 minutes long, i disgust myself. But summer is about gluttony, no?

i ate so much meat today, i feel ick, but it was worth it. I’ll run it off in the bolder boulder tomorrow anyways

inner harbor

It wasn’t until those last two minutes in my house as dad was rushing me to do one last check that the gravity of the end came. Floods of memories of my life at 3219 Guilford came, and the immense desire to stop time suffocated me. I’ve been done with school for four days, but it just felt like a long weekend. Even as i packed my entire life into a 5X7 storage unit, i still felt the subtle anxiety of studyhomeowrkstudyclass. And then, my dad said lets go. The illusion broke and i was left standing in my completely empty room. It wasn’t fancy and it had 100 year old house problems, but it was my first place. My own. I grew up immensely in that little room. I learned, struggled, had some firsts, doubted, fought, laughed, cried, found turbulence and calm in that room. But without a glance back,i closed the door for the last time.

pops and i hit DC together. I’ve had such an awful amount of meat this weekend, veggies from here on out!

Boarded the plane, it was night so the whole harbor was that spiderweb of orange lights below us. Then the clouds moved in to block my view. Goodnight baltimore.

good to be home. weird. but good. lot of stuff is gonna go down this week which will determine the rest of my summer and even fall…crossin fingers.

IMDONEIMDONEIMDONE!!

my first year at hopkins has flown by so fast (although it definitely crawled at some points too) I’m in shock. I still feel the itch to study or like im forgetting a homework assignment, but thats just it…theres nothing!

Its very fitting that the sun has finally poked its head out for the first time in like a week or so. The temperature is perfect, breeze is light, and my pops is coming to Baldamore to help me move my stuff into storage. Time to fold up my east coast life and unpack my Colorado summer list.

i learned so much these past nine months. More than the last two years of college combined. Academically, i was challenged and required to seriously think critically. I learned alot about people, from different backgrounds, as professionals, as patients, in their weakest and strongest moments; the human mind is beautifully complex. I learned a lot about me as well. My weaknesses became more transparent and I grew because of it. But i feel finally like my future is in focus. I was so unsure for the last 4 years, but now i know what i want. This education has allowed me to learn in the classroom and then cross the street to apply it right before my eyes. And i love it.

always, do what you love.

I have no idea what the next 3, 6 or 12 months will be like, but i know it will be quite the journey..

now its time to, breathe!
