A slice of life
I am about to graduate. Cue the dramatic music.
No, I didn't apply to graduate school for next year. I am taking a year off and then I'm applying. I'm okay with this, because I didn't really know what program to apply for because there are too many things I'm interested in. I was looking at biology, epidemiology, global public health, medical anthropology, physician's assistant, and human rights programs. That's too many. I need to narrow it down a little.
In the meantime, I am trying to finish an H-tag, my senior honors project, my senior bio research and presentation, and find a job. Right. Deep breath, kiddo.
Everything will get done, and I'm not too worried. I was before, but right now I have a peace about everything which I am very thanksful for--praise the Lord.
I'd like to play some laser tag. Hmmm.
I'm also thinking about attempting to write for a newspaper or magazine after I graduate. I would have more spare time, right? If I don't get a job which requires 70-80 hours a week. I'd like to train to be an EMT, because that would be wicked sweet. Health care experience, plus working in challenging situations and helping people? Cool. Except I might kill someone...
Or maybe I'll get one of those internships I've applied to for the Red Cross! One was in Washington DC, the other in Virginia (I don't want to go to Virginia, but hey, I'll take what I can get). DC would be cool. And then maybe they would offer me a full-time job and I'd be set for the next year! I don't want to do paperwork, either, though... I know I'd rather be outside doing trail guide work in Colorado (or being a cave guide, which I almost was two years ago, so cool) or even working at Caribou rather than doing paperwork. But I also want hands-on health care experience, so EMT work would be perfect.
A bit of this depends on whether a certain guy decides he's in love with me or not. We'll see. :)
I'm in the middle of Animal Behavior lab right now, ha ha. We watch videos every week. This is ridiculous.
I scored three goals in a broomball game last Saturday! I've only scored one other goal in my whole life! Why is it that broomball is the only sport I absolutely adore? I would play at a moment's notice, anytime. I usually dislike organized sports... I think it's the fact that a lot of people can't run on ice, so the playing field is leveled and I don't feel as stupid and unskilled.
Okay, lab is almost over... gotta go. Happy, Justin? Now it's your turn, friend.

Ah yes thanks Cara, I am satisfied now.
Looks like you have quite a lot of stuff to do. I don't think I had that much to do my last semester. But then again, you enjoy loading up work for yourself, and I prefer to give myself only what I know to be manageable and not insane :)
You should be an EMT. A friend of mine here at seminary was one for a while. Today on our drive to church he told us about pumping stomachs. sweetness!
now how does this all depend on a guy? I didn't see that theme running through the tale except when it was mentioned.
I'll try to think of some way to update soon.

okay, "depend" isn't really the right word... "will be affected by" is more like it. they've offered me the taylor-and-jamie coordinator position in the dc for next year, and since this guy is a junior right now i'd have more of a motivation to stick around and work in the dc for the next year if we had a relationship. but i have no what's going to happen. i would want to do the emt thing either way (i wouldn't mind having 2 jobs), so i guess it doesn't affect my plans too much after all. maybe it's just on my mind a lot... i would really like to know what he's thinking...
