The original text for this post had me all cheerful – it’s Julyyyyyy! – but in light of the past week, I just don’t really think it’s appropriate to feign a positive attitude; I can’t just bury my head in the sand and hope that everything will get better. But I still need to focus on school. I’m headed into a pretty intense six or seven weeks with my final clinical rotation, and that means that I will be in a position to help people with a uterus. I just have to pass the NCLEX.

Sigh.

So I just hit shuffle on my liked videos, resulting in a set of pure randomness, which thankfully had a lot of chill songs. Enjoy.

I am absolutely thrilled that Kate Bush is getting her due. My mom introduced me to her when I was a kid; she has several of her vinyl records, and I remember that she used to wake me up by blasting “Babooshka” (and occasionally “Wild Women Do” from the Pretty Woman soundtrack) at the highest possible decibels her ancient speakers could manage. It annoyed me then, but I can honestly say I kind of miss it?

Anyway, as a celebration of Kate Bush’s successes, I’m doing a whole “on rotation …” of my favorite songs of hers (other than “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)”). Enjoy! And spread the love that is Kate Bush!!

In but two days, it will officially be June 2022, which is so bizarre to me because it was, like, just June 2021. The music I’ve been listening to has definite summer vibes, though, and it’s a place I could live indefinitely. I’m one of those forever summer people, partially because my extremities almost never stay warm, so if I can channel it even a little early, I’m here for it.

And as always, head on over to YouTube for the full May 2022 playlist!

Holy. Shit. I graduated from high school twenty years ago. Somehow.

I mean, I get how time works. But I suppose since I didn’t really know what to do with myself after I turned 30 – never expected to get past that point, I guess – my confusion with what this actually means shouldn’t surprise anyone.

And before you ask, no, I will not be going to my twenty-year reunion. Not because I’m harboring ill will for people that I went to school with; I just … don’t wanna go? Plus, current school is a bit more important to me, so I’ll just have to wax nostalgic by making another playlist.
