The Life of an Egg

"In every child who is born, under no matter what circumstances, and of no matter what parents, the potentiality of the human race is born again." -J.Agee

Name:
Location: Los Angeles, California

I am addicted to Flamin Hot Cheetos, goat cheese, rainbow sherbet, and hummus. I want to meet Paul Farmer. I can't touch library books because they smell. I have a tattoo of the tree of life on my back. I have a problem with picking at my nails when I'm nervous, stressed out, or bored. I am irrationally proud of being from California. One of my main goals in life is to be a good person. And finally, please don't ask for medical advice, especially if it involves any sort of discharge.

The Beginning

of the end? or of the beginning? i'm not sure... but i had my first two days of training for residency. NALS and PALS. (neonatal and pediatric advanced life support) i.e. how to "save" a newborn or kid if they're not breathing or their heart's not pumping.

that was all great and fun and luckily, i passed my certification. go me!
but i met my "residency class" for the first time!! i like them! almost all of them seem REALLY nice. i kept getting this feeling like i've met some of them before and i realized afterward that it must be because i have such a great class... of people that i'm going to get along with and become life-long friends with. of course, i really did meet some of them before, on the interview trail.

on saturday, we went to Piece to see the U.S. vs Italy World Cup game. I'm irate with the ref for the red cards that were so not deserved. but I'm proud of our team for playing strong and keeping the hope alive that we'll advance to the next round. it appears that we now have to beat Ghana and Italy has to beat the Czech Republic. Thursday is a big day. Too bad I'm going to be stuck in orientation.

today, we watched the Korea vs France game at my place. Korea didn't play as well as I would have hoped but they did okay. I'd be mad if I were France though because they totally should have counted that second goal... oops! Oh well for France. :)

it's so f-ing hot here. i just had the most frustrating 3 hours of my life, trying to install a window A/C unit in my bedroom.
