its 1:15am

and I'm going to sleep for the first night in my new apartment! I am tired. It took all day to move today. Packing, getting everything downstairs and cleaning up the old place, making the move and then getting it all in my room. The place is super nice with a big balcony that overlooks the park and is walking distance to the hospital which is key. I'm in the middle room (between greg and andrew) and I have a huge window which I love. I am sharing a bathroom with greg which is much better than last year when we had just one bathroom for the four of us. Anyways, I promise I'll put up pictures soon which will be much better than trying to write about it. And, like I said, I'm tired.

Other than that, I just miss home a lot. Like a lot a lot. But I hope that once I feel more settled things will start getting better.

First day of school

You know how it goes. You get all ready the night before, you eat a good breakfast, you get there on time (even a little bit early which is awesome in Ireland cuz everyone gives you free tea!), you sit front and center and pay attention the whole lecture, then you come home and outline all the lectures before you go to bed. Well that was my oh so perfect first day of school. The only thing that sucks is...well...I'm back in school and not only that but I'm also super far away from my loves: sun, surf, and c.

I guess this just means I'll be back writing my blog which I was on a bit of a hiatus from during the past two months while I was at the beach getting amazing at surfing and working on an awesome tan. I miss home like never before and I am gonna start counting the days till Christmas break absurdly early I believe. This year will be exciting and fun as far as school goes though to tell you guys the truth. We are doing rotations all the time in the hospital, getting to go around and observe any procedures we want, watching post mortem, and basically finding out the stuff that can go wrong and learn real doctory-type stuff finally which is a definite yay!
