...My people I just wanna disconnect it
Find something to nourish the pain...
(hi).
i know it's been awhile. i've been off the grid a bit. but i feel like it's time to start writing again. if nothing else, there's going to be a lot of change happening over the next year and i figure i might need some space to verbalize it all. and not that this past year hasn't been a lot of change, what with back surgery and moving, but i'm not going to review. gotta keep on moving...
at the moment i'm in a strange place. not literally (literally i'm sitting in bed on a sunday morning with puma curled up at my feet) but mentally. i've been feeling really overwhelmed recently. not with school (though my schedule is crazy!) but with the fact that in 12 weeks (12 WEEKS!) i will be done. no more school. possibly ever. weird, eh? and this 4 year process that felt like forever (still does, some days i think the 12 week thing is a myth!) is actually ending. and then what? exactly. i'll be in SD for a few more months... i've got a lease through august after all and then i still have to take boards (nationals and possibly states) and it didn't really make sense to move before then. so then life involves getting some type of full-time job that will pay my rent, etc until i move. and studying. lots. and then there's the whole moving thing. (in case you don't know, my plan is to move to portland, OR in sept/oct - check out pictures of my trip this summer if you haven't already) and there's all the chaos with that, somewhere to live, not knowing anyone, finding a job, starting a practice... *sigh* not to mention a ridiculous amount in loans i am expected to pay back. ha! all in all it's making me feel just a little bit stressed (ok, that might be a slight understatement... but you get it). but i'm also excited. have been feeling kind of stuck here, so it will be good to move again, try something new...
other than that... let's see - life is ok. i'm crazy busy this term - i've got 4 classes and 4 clinic shifts, i'm working at blue lotus 2 days and doing a shift at acusport... so the days fill up quickly. thus far i'm liking my clinic shifts a lot, i've got one with Dr. J which should be good - will help me brush up with herbs and then a Japanese shift with Elizabeth - which is great. Then my two other shifts are off campus... i'm back at PB free again which is always an experience and then my last shift is at children's hospital - have only been to orientation thus far, so this week will be my first time treating... it should be really challenging and interesting... but i am really interested to see how acupuncture works in a hospital setting...
and i'll get on the update thing... really. :)
