    I am genuinely excited about becoming a nurse. It’s something I have really wanted to do for a little over 10 years now, but I fought it. For a lot of reasons. One, I didn’t want to become my mother. Granted, she’s not a terrible person to emulate – her confusing continued support of Donald…

    Well, school started yesterday, so I’m in full academic mode. For me, this means I’m looking back at the trip-hop/electronica/house/chill from my youth and going full ham. Seriously, this shit is so good. 1 – “THE SEA” BY MORCHEEBA 2 – “LEBANESE BLONDE” BY THIEVERY CORPORATION 3 – “6 UNDERGROUND” BY SNEAKER PIMPS (NELLEE HOOPER…

    So today is the first day of my second semester officially back in school, and you’d think I’d be used to the concept by now. However? Yeah, that’s not the case. Instead, I had a little bit of an emotional breakdown a couple of days ago. I had something similar happen back in September, when…

    Yes, school starts in, like, four days, but I am 100% ready to do my first 2021 challenge. It’ll give me a nice break from studying microbiology for an hour or so. And instead of rehashing something I did a while ago on my old blog, well, it’s a new year, isn’t it? Shedding 2020’s…

    It’s my last week of relative freedom – I still have work, which BOO – so I’ve been doing quite a bit of writing, specifically on my Paradiso project. I haven’t talked a lot about it because it’s still very much in its first stage, but let’s just say I’m super excited about it. Part…

    Happy New Year, everybody! We. Made. It. I’m changing things up a bit for the first “on rotation …” of 2021. It’s the Podcast Edition. I don’t know if this will be a regular thing, seeing as the number of podcasts that people recommend me continues to grow exponentially and I only have so much…

    The semester doesn’t start until the 19th, but last night, I had my first Zoom session about what I have to do over the next month which will make me go crazy. First, I have to get a whole bunch of medical stuff done (titers, physical, TB test, drug screen, etc.). Second, I’ll need to…

    So two weeks ago I did kind of an upbeat, power-walk sort of playlist, so I wanted to go in the opposite direction this time: just ambling down the way and enjoying the chill of the air. I actually took one of those walks a few days ago, giving myself a bit of a breather,…

    Ooooh, I haven’t done one of these in a while. I figure, since it’s my birthday tomorrow, that I should celebrate by regaling you with another super fun story about how vehicular technology hates me. Remember how Mah-gret the Mazda died? Well, her untimely death at the hands of a cherry-red catalytic converter made it…

    I can’t run anymore because my knees are basically shot, but I still like to get out and walk or hike, usually with this dork in tow: His name is Nelson, and he’s one of my sister’s two rescue dogs. And he is a dork. Anyway, now that it’s colder, there are not nearly the…
