Its been awhile since my last post. About 7 months to be exact. Much has changed and much has remained the same.
Oh sleep. Its a great thing, although we don't realize it until around that time we go to college how much we want it. And yet I can't sleep. Truly my endocrine system has a sense of humour. I can be nigh unto comatose in class, but when I am in the appropriate time frame, location and mood, ye olde brain decides to stay up all night doing mental gymnastics. Maybe a reset button is needed.
Being into healthcare, I have a certain sense of cleanliness that others may find a bit extreme. I realize this and accept it. But some people are so hygeine unconscious that a 12th century peasant would feel an impulse to watch his hands. At work there was a party for a certain group of people who shall remain unnamed. What shall not remain unnamed is the amount of nasty that these people subjected me to. Pizza slices were on the floor. Bad enough by itself but most of these had been stepped on at some point, grinding their stale greasiness into the floor tiles. How could you STEP on a piece of pizza and not pick it up? Undergarments lying on the floor greeted my eyes, and just when i thought it couldn't get worse, I came to the men's locker room. Horrors greeted my admittedly jaded sensibilities like i couldn't imagine. As the pool is connected to the locker room, a large amount of wet people walked around in the locker room, mixing their runoff with the dirt from other people's shoes. The result was a quarter inch of a muddy sort of slurry covering the floor. Vomit in the trashcans, blood in the sink (how hard is it to rinse that down the drain?), and other unspeakable things as well. Truly, some human beings would be content to sit in the mud all day and pick their nose. Freakin gross.
