....

In response to a melodramatic email I received today, I am not dead, or dying or eloped with him to the Bahamas. I am not in jail either. I am settling in at Armstrong Atlantic State University, still finding my way from parking lot to the multiple venues professors delight themselves with during summer semester. Transitioning is not much fun, but the environment is pro-learning. I found that the only couch on campus is at the front of the library and this defeats the point of having a couch on campus because that is all together not a very conducive place to take the much needed nap! The Nuc. Med majors here are a funny group...we are all different, but the same in many ways. I still have to get to know everyone better, but i think I already like them, I think even you would like them. The professor is an enthusiastic sugar bear to put it mildly, and I am already wondering what I'll do without her when graduation is here. (obviously I haven't learned rule #1 yet: Thou shalt not attach to those from whom you will have to unattach in the near future)
You will also be pleased to know that the guys here open doors and pull out chairs, sort of like an old British movie. We are however not characters in a black and white movie. Our lives are real, complete with unnecessary fears, traumatizing unannounced tests, long days, late nights, and moments of utterly overwhelming despair. Underneath all that though, we are loving it! Because when you finally find your calling, all the huddles are only bends in the road to your happily ever after.
Because the 14 week material is being crammed into 8 weeks,I am incredibly busy, I am in fact surprised by the length of what was supposed to be a space filler post. I don't know how often I will write, I honestly haven't had the clarity lately to write anything longer than a text message( I told you a have text messaging problems!!)
Sometimes in the middle of a boring path. report I realize how much I miss blogging, and then I am swept back into the world of due dates and painful research. I will return soon though, sooner than I know, because we all know, I never run off for too long.
