Random thoughts for a Tuesday morning....

I felt like screaming in Con hall yesterday. You know what i felt like screaming? "All of you assholes that want to be doctors and can't even muster up enough compassion to treat each other like human beings, let alone give the Prof the respect she deserves to be listened to!!!"
This is why I take effexor.

I am so thankful for the people without hidden agendas in my life, (you know who you are) and so dubious of the people who do have them. This dude added me to his MSN and got me talking one evening... and ever since then has decided it's his own personal mission to save me. I don't need saving. It's him that needs saving.... from this brainwashed born again morality play that says anyone who doesn't think exactly like him is shit.

There seems to be fewer and fewer moderates that I encounter on a daily basis. Why is extremism rearing its ugly head more often, I'll never know.

Then again, there are very few people who would accuse me of being a moderate.

I wonder if I've majorly screwed myself when it comes to my education by coming here for the program I've chosen. It was (and still is) a risk, as it doesn't lead to anything tangible at the end. At least with an RN I know that I can get a job after four years. This life science distinction doesn't mean a whole lot... so I wonder if this is going to get me nothing but 80 000 dollars of debt at the end. At the end of second year it will be more clear, I think... and if I still suspect as much, it's only a matter of transferring and doing 18 months to become a nurse... nice, safe, nursing. Good place for me -- out of the way, typical, easily quantifiable to my peers, can't kick up a lot of fuss and even if I did, not listened to because I'm "just a nurse." Not that I'd ever be happy being that complacent, but hey....

I wanted for years to do a photo shoot of "squat toilets of europe" ala those "Doors of Ireland" posters that you see in poshy hippies houses....

K, must go struggle with physics for several hours now. This has been a good procrastination exercise, but like all good things, it must come to an end. :)
