Ugh. I haven't written anything in a while, mostly because I spend my days trying make my brain catch up with my body and vice versa. I truly believe that time goes by faster as you get older, and it's not a happy feeling. But it just gives you more perspective and insight about how one should go about structuring their goals, schedules, etc. My 4th week of internship is over, and 2 more to go... I think it is safe to say that this is a love/hate relationship... I love how we get to see the different units but hate the hours. HATE the hours! 12 hour workdays! But now I'm getting used to it, so I don't fall asleep as often as I did the first week of our clinical rotations. I got to see a lot of procedures and actually experience how the RNs work in their natural setting, versus our school clinical rotations. I'm sorry to say, but the school clinicals are not realistic in terms of how the RNs spend their day and manage their duties. I'm not poring over the drug guides fanatically, deciphering physicians' handwriting (although I read it better now), and catering to the whims of every patient. I think that's pretty impossible, actually. But enough of the boring part. What I liked so far was discovering all the different procedures out there, and all the different types of nursing jobs out there. And man, there is A LOT. I just learned yesterday that you can become certified to become a hyperbaric chamber RN... how random is that?? It is a cool place, though... The cardiology RN has it pretty nice, too. All she does is run stress tests and transesophageal echo. And so now when people ask me what specialty I want to go into, I really can't answer that because I know there's so many choices out there. I really feel excited about becoming a nurse now, and this internship was a great opportunity for me. Well, it was also a pain in the neck when we had to study for our EKG classes, but at least we got a certificate out of it... :T So yeah, the past few weeks I was all about nursing, and will be doing so for the remaining 2 weeks.

Okay on to the frivolous stuff. After Iljimae ended, I was kinda bummed, but I still have Shik Gaek (Gourmet) and Every Night going on, so I'm pretty good on my kdrama. What I am waiting for is East of Eden, which is hyped up to the max right now because of the star studded cast: Song Seung Hun, Lee Dae Hae, Han Ji Hye, Yeon Jung Hoon, and Lee Yeon Hee... Of course, I'm biased since it features 2 of my fave actresses (and yes, they're both my age :O *suddenly feels small and unimportant*). Other dramas/movies I'm looking forward to are Iris (2009) and The Good, The Bad, and The Weird (which is gathering huge hype for its cinematography, stellar cast, action scenes, and script... but we'll see about that).

I got a new phone... motorola something... It feels weird to get a new phone after using one for 2 years, but I just could care less about phones... unless it's purple... I nearly caved in to buying a purple razor, but thought better of it. Bah.
