    Damn... I have nearly 40 pairs of R&Rs alone, AFTER cutting down my collection. And I haven't even counted my other designer denim yet. And in order to stop my jean addiction, I diverted my attention to... collecting shoes. *rolls eyes*
    Just learned today in psych that high levels of dopamine in women directly correlates to shopping... Well, I guess it is a type of manic behavior, if you have great urges to go shopping.
    It's funny how all my years at UCLA I haven't really had a first hand experience with psych patients; only dealt with the research aspect of the field. And now I'm in the treatment/therapy aspect of the field, and I find it quite... calm. It's not THAT crazy nor is it always quiet, and I'm just waiting for something exciting to happen. I want to try my self-defense moves that we were taught during orientation.

    Still learning the ropes about therapeutic communication. It's pretty basic, but you realize that there is an art to making communication with psych patients. It's a lot like beating around the bush to get at the source of the problem. Well, most of the time, that is. I guess that part I have down pat because the whole Korean culture is like that. It's rude to ask direct questions, so most of the time the conversations are very indirect (which always made me feel falsely cheery and very nervous). Blehhhhhh. But it's ingrained in me, so I can't do anything about it. Well, I could, but I'm lazy.

    Currently watching jdrama "Bara no nai Hanaya" (Roseless Flower Shop? Flower shop without roses?)
    It's kinda awkward in the beginning, but I love the quirky mismatched characters, and the storyline has gotten a lot more interesting since the past few episodes. And of course, I started watching it for Matsuda Shota, but the story has now gotten me HOOKED. The little girl in the drama is SOOOOOO ADORABLE! I just want to hug her to death.
    Also watching Atsuhime, starring Miyazaki Aoi, who makes a great lead in the drama... It's not for everyone, since it's a pretty heavy historical drama, but I think it's very interesting.
