Medical College of Georgia's homepage
Because I have to use the site so often.
I have gotten almost everything I need to get done before school starts. I am discovering that medical schools want you to jump through many more hoops that a regular university. I hope I haven't left anything out.
My old friend from college, Ace, has invited me to Columbia this weekend to meet his girlfriend and hear his band play. I haven't seen him in 12 years, but we've remained in contact all this time. I think I am going to go. I do have things I should be doing here, but I think it would be really good for me to have an adventure this weekend. Weekends are hard for me since Dan died - I'd mostly rather skip them. He died on a Sunday, and just the day before is when we had our now infamous trip to New Orleans. I find I do a lot better on the weekends if I am around people and stay busy.
Today, I am having some tummy issues and I have a headache. I'm just sticking close to the apartment for now. I put a load of laundry in so I can take some of the clothes I want to Columbia if I end up going. My Netflix movies arrived so maybe it's a good sofa day.
What are the 5 words that best describe your life right now?
Question submitted by mojito.
Transitioning - My life has changed so much in the last 10 weeks. My soulmate died unexpectedly, and I moved across state to attend school again in order to make a complete career change. I have no clue where these roads will eventually lead me, but, as they say, that is the journey.
Exciting - This is a new chapter of my life. I am excited about my new apartment, starting school, and meeting new people.
Emotional - Dan died 10 weeks ago today. I miss him so much, and I think of him every day. It's hard to think of how he died and wonder if he was scared or if he suffered. It's also hard to move forward with my future plans without him. They had been our plans, and now I'm going it alone.
Exhausting - With not very much sleep, I've had to keep moving through several major life changes/crisis. Even though many times I felt like hitting the brakes, I'm still moving.
Indulgent - Because I lost 10 lbs from grief after Dan died, I am able to get away with eating whatever I want for the time being. I'd forgotten what that was like!
Glad you're here, Sassysweetheart. Now post something!
It rained here for a little bit and the temp dropped from 102°F to 91°F. Still hot as hell, but slightly more manageable. I really should be farther along on my packing than I actually am. I've been such a slacker! I require more motivation.
I found the email address of the one girl who I know at MCG and sent her a heads up that I am here. She may very well be out of town doing an internship though, so I may never get to see her!
I know several people who are attending Defcon in Las Vegas this weekend. I'd love to be a fly on those walls. I need to try to make it to one of the Cons next year just so I can see everyone. Not that I would know what anyone would be talking about since I am not a techie, but it would still be nice to see familiar faces.
My new apartment is pretty cool. I only dislike the floor. It makes my feet ache. I am used to going barefoot all the time at home, but barefoot on these floors might not be such a good idea. Ah, well.
Saying goodbye to my friends has been harder than I ever imagined it would be. Dan's death has made saying goodbye to anyone unbearable. I have cried on and off all day. I've moved away before, but that was before Dan's death. Normally, I am fiercly independent, but now I'm scared of lonliness. I miss Dan so much, and I miss my friends and I haven't even left town yet. Ugh, I don't know how I am going to get through this....
Well, I've had a weekend full of not going to bed before 4am. I'm seriously too old for this. It's been fun though. I'm really going to miss everyone when I move in a few days.
It's been 9 weeks since Dan died, and it still just doesn't feel as if that much time has passed. I guess it never will. I miss him so much the pain is almost tangible.
Brooke left this morning to move back to Michigan. I miss her already. I can't believe I won't be able to just drive over and see her anymore. I need to get her in touch with some of my Detroit friends. I think she'd really like some of them a great deal. It's too bad she never got to meet Dan...
I can't believe how much I still have to do before I move in 3 days. I've been procrastinating something feirce. It's so hard to move on sometimes. I think that while I am excited about my move and starting MCG, I'm still so aware that I am going without Dan. He was supposed to be here too. Even though he's gone, I guess I still feel as though I am leaving him behind...
My LJ friends are going to be dismayed at how much I am enjoying my Vox blog. I just like the way they let you personalize it with mp3s and videos and such.
I need to get the driver's side window fixed on my car before I move. I refuse to ride with the top down while the window is stuck because that just is absurd looking. I'm missing prime convertible weather, although it has been hot & humid as hell. It's hard to find the motivation to do such luxuriant things these days.
I need to focus on packing up the few belongings I have here for my move on the 2nd. I'm so glad the majority of my things are already packed and ready to go (and have been that way for 2 years). I will be so happy to have my own stuff back. I miss things you take for granted, like my own mattress and box spring.
