Back At It

What the hell is going on in the United States?? Banks are crashing. First Washington Mutual failed last week and Wachovia crashed today. It has literally become a fight to get GAS. Gas people??? If gas goes away, how the hell are people supposed to get to work to make their living? My folks at home are sitting in line for more than an hour to get gas and folks are actually fighting at the pump. People see a gas trunk and stalk the thing to see if it's going to the station. Am I the only one that sees a problem here? Bush proposed his 700 mil bailout deal and Congress failed to pass it today. So now what? I'm starting to get nervous. When housing foreclosures ran through the roof, or course I felt bad about it and said we need to do something. When gas prices started soaring through the roof and it cost me a grip to go anywhere besides work, I was concerned. But now!!! I'm a nervous. I'm living off of loans of at the moment. I'm not as educated as I should be about these matters but I'm sure all these events continuing adding up is not going to make it any easier for me or trying-to-make-it folks out here in the world. It just seems like SO much is going on these days. We need some CHANGE!

Back to my small world... I was ghost a few days. Had to do some "house" cleaning. I think I'm back in the game now and ready to fight for at least another month. I might just need a few days every month to scream, vent and cry. Whatever the remedy is... I'll figure it out.

It has been raining since late Thursday night. I didn't move. I already don't like the walking and then you want me to go somewhere with the possibility that I might get my feet wet. No!! My mood would be so sour. So I stayed in all weekend and did the usual, studied. When I woke up this morning it was pouring. I rolled over and asked the Lord as usual to watch over my loved one, but to please cease the rain until I got to the trolley station. When I opened the door 30 minutes later. LORD JESUS, THANK YOU... the rain had calmed down. I realized that I needed to get some better rain gear right then. When class dismissed R and I went to Target. I got some rain boots. I'll be prepared on Wednesday when the rain is supposed to get started again. I got a few other things at Target too. Of course I wasn't supposed to but when R said she would take me home and thought it was the perfect opportunity to get a few things needed for my new place. I got a lamp and comforter for the cheap. TOO EXCITED. I could not leave them.

I'm thinking there was something else I thought about this morning that I wanted to talk about. OOOOOO... I remember now. I have a heightened sense of smell. Always have... I smell everything. So the addition of rain to some people on public transportation is just too much to bear. The bus smelled like garbage. I smelt chips, funk, dead fruit (LOL), a whole list of things. That's when you kindly stick you nose in the corner of whatever you are wearing. I wanted to ask if we could crack a window of something. All that funk was beginning to curl my hair!

Another thing and then I'll go. My group and I met with Dr. B this morning to get some feedback on our counseling techniques. I wasn't as nervous as I've been in the past and I did my thing without giving a second thought to the idea that Dr. B was over there with his pen and pad scrambling away critique notes about my delivery. In the end he said I did a good job and I think he believes I want to go into the field. He made a comment about his medical science students usually being horrible and I was like... Hey, I'm a medical science student dawg. Feels good to shock folks now and then! There are a few things I have to watch out for and I'll be sure to get those in check before the next mock doctor/patient session.

Ok... let me go. I've got a quiz on Friday, an exam on Monday and another exam on next Friday. It's crunch time ladies and gentleman. Ya'll have a good night or good morning (depending on when you are ready this) Muah!!!! (that's love)!
