Had an interview in a car
Ate a pomegranate that turned my mouth purple
Thought about how much people’s feelings toward me affect my feelings toward them
Lost my glasses and couldn’t find them because I didn’t have my glasses
Had an 87 year old patient tell me I was old when I told her I was 23

My Primetime Addiction
Posted in Uncategorized on November 28, 2006 | 2 Comments »
I’ve never been one to plan life around television. I mostly find myself disillusioned with society when I see the stuff that counts as popular entertainment. Who’s sleeping with who, cheating on who, buying what, degrading their spouse, disrespecting their parents, etc…. I don’t get hooked on shows so intimately I talk [...]
Overwhelmed by Love
Posted in friends, love, thanksgiving on November 22, 2006 | 2 Comments »
Today I have spent much of the day feeling overwhelmed by love. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and my family is far away. Like most hospital employees, I’m required to work Thanksgiving or Christmas. I volunteered for Turkey Day and thus, from 2:45-11:15 pm tomorrow, will be serving the lovely folks at Bryn Mawr [...]

Why is it no matter how much money you make, no matter where you come from, FREE is so irresistible? I got back last night from a two day trip to Harrisburg for a student nurse convention. We left at, no, before the crack of dawn Thursday morning and made our to the [...]
HIV/AIDS in Africa
Posted in AIDS/HIV, Africa, Speakers on November 14, 2006 | 3 Comments »
I want to encourage everyone to come learn more about the AIDS/HIV epidemic in Africa tomorrow. United Nations Secretary General Stephen Lewis will be speaking at a public forum on the Villanova campus and it’s bound to be a thought provoking and informative event. The evening is free and open to the public. [...]
10 Ways I Know I’m a Nursing Student

I’ve been thinking lately about how subcultures can become as much a part of us as we become of them. Sometimes consciously, but more often not, I find myself adapting the ways I speak, think, and act to the subculture I am immersed in. The extent to which this happens varies, but it’s [...]
Grace and Strength
Posted in Uncategorized on November 6, 2006 | 4 Comments »
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. [...]
Swirling leaves and breathlessness
Posted in Uncategorized on November 3, 2006 | 1 Comment »
The colors have become so amazing around here that as I was driving to class today the sight literally took my breath away. It’s been awhile since I’ve had that happen. Been so taken in by the beauty surrounding me that I felt breathless. Usually that’s just my crappy asthma/allergy combo making [...]
