Currently Watching: Scrubs, Season 1

I guess I should squeeze one more entry into the month of May and let you all know what I'm up to. Since my last entry, several things have happened.

1. Classes have started and I am now officially going to school in the summer for the first time. Ever.
2. I have gotten to see many new surgeries including: thyroidectomy, laparoscopic bilateral inguinal hernia repair, and two tubal ligations.
3. I have come to the realization that the corporate behemoth that is Wal-Mart has somehow attached itself permanently to my debit card and leeches money from me like a parasite. Some may argue that this is a symbiotic relationship citing the fact that, in exchange for this drain of my bank account, I am rewarded with various items such as sunscreen, hangers and cinnamon applesauce. I, however, firmly deny such allegations and claim no responsibility for the fact that every time I go into the store, I leave at least $50 poorer than when I entered. I am searching for other, less guilt-inducing explanations.
4. Another very odd realization - my best friend of 14 years will be getting married in less than two weeks. It's entirely too strange to think that my Aunnee, the girl who, at the age of 9 made me dress up in an ill-fitting yellow satin gown (representing the moon ... obviously) and sing "Under the Willows" for her parents while she sat, draped by a white sheet (representing a cloud ... again, so obvious), playing the accompaniment.
5. And some very happy news - I get to be a bridesmaid in my friend Jen's wedding next June. Hooray!

And those are my developments thus far. In a week and a half I finally get to go home - it's been six months and I can't wait to see everyone again. Cheers!

Hopes and Fears

So I'm learning new ways to entertain myself. I am in the middle of my five day break between spring and summer semester classes and, sadly, I am the only one who had to stay in Augusta over break. Everyone else went home while I had no money to do so. Thus, here I am alone in Augusta and, if you've ever been to Augusta, you know that these are dire circumstances indeed.

So far, in order to avoid complete mental breakdown, I have cleaned my apartment from top to bottom, gone shopping, took my loan deferment forms to the registrar (I actually walked the 3 miles to and from school just so it would take longer), watched a lot of VH1, TBS, and Episodes I and II of Star Wars, and finished a portrait. Tomorrow I have big plans to sit by the pool at Alissa's apartment complex (she won't be there but the pool will) and organize the books on my bookshelf according to size. Try not to envy my fabulously exciting life, please.
