Busy.

I have so much to do in the next one to three weeks, mostly all school. Time to start buckling down.
 
Tired and definitely wishing I would have thought earlier and taken today off of work. The good thing though is that I have two midterms down and only one left to go on Tuesday! :)
 
Phwoar that's insane.. I'm sure if you lay low you will be fine :-)
Where is this anyway??


I'm excited..
Get to see The Offspring in 5 hours time.
<3
 
Oh my, re-distributed! That's awful. The call center i work at has 2 locations in 2 neighboring states, and a couple weeks ago one of the offices (not mine) got a bomb threat and everyone had to evacuate and stand in the snow for about 1 hour until state police showed up and cleared the building. Everyone was okay, but still scary! Was probably a disgruntled customer who didn't get what they want :|

So jealous, Trip! I LOVE The Offspring. I own all of their albums. "Kristy are you doing okay?" always strikes a chord in me and makes me teary eyed because of the meaning/how close to home it hits. Ah enjoy =D

I'm feeling much malaise.
 
Hey Rx, its going to be awesome. I have also collected all of their albums over the years...
Im not the biggest fan of the new stuff :-/
But tonight they are playing an 'Ignition' set :-)
 
Drained.

Completed the second week of my clinical clerkship here in Japan, and I feel like I could sleep through the whole weekend. Working here is so exhausting, 10-12 hours a day as a student (no payment), most of the time I can't do much but just observe sophisticated procedures, and communication is difficult because I don't speak a lot of Japanese, and most Japanese people speak little to no English. We get along somehow, but I always have to guess what they want to say which consumes lots and lots of concentration. I'm afraid that people percieve me as rude because sometimes I'm too fried in my head to return a salute. One moment I just want to vanish because I can't take it anymore, the next moment I'm totally amazed that I'm here, it's an awesome adventure for me to live in Japan, and at the same time incredibly exhausting. I hope I'll get accustomed to that soon...
 
My word: relaxed.

It still sounds like an amazing opportunity though Van Weyden!

I'm sure you're going to be doing something even greater after your clinical clerkship is over with? :)
 
VanWeyden, great to read that. Saw your pics go up, looks like an incredible, exhilarating, exhausting ride. I am not in the least envious of you. :sus: Teaching English in Japan something I've often thought about doing but I think the moment gone. Enjoy it. :)
 
Focused

Trying to organize my work load for crunch time at school.

Calm. Content. Finally got rid of that headache.

Sad and Angry,

Just got home from work and i see paramedic cars outside of my house, i run inside and i find out my mother fell down the stairs and she was rushed to the hospital...now im left cleaning up her blood off the floor. No one will tell me her condition so i have to sit this out and wait. Fucking life will always throw me curve balls.

That is just awful - I am sure I would have broke down completely if I was in your position - I can't imagine what a shock that must have been, especially since it just happened out of nowhere. I hope your mother will be okay and I hope you are managing to hold up through this.

Please let us know how she is when you are able to, and let us know how you are doing. <3
