Four’s a Crowd

June 29th, 2007 * Comments(2)

My medical school bed I live in a pretty small one bedroom apartment with my partner, Micah, and two dogs. Let’s just say that things get a bit crowded at times. For example, the four of us generally all sleep in one (slightly larger than twin) bed. The dogs have their very own “luxury sherpa” bed, but for one reason or another, they seem to prefer sleeping (literally on top of our legs) in our bed. Actually, Micah slept for a bit last night on their luxury sherpa bed. I think they were a bit confused. Micah had drank one too many beers, I think.

We also only have one tiny air conditioner that really only cools about a five foot radius around it. Considering that it is generally in the 90’s here every day, and it rarely drops much below 80, even at night, I rarely spend much time in my apartment farther than five feet from our AC. Now, in addition to the AC problem, we also do not have a couch in our apartment. It’s a very long story, but it involves the two aforementioned dogs, a rebellious uprising, and an excess of fecal material.

From Georgetown to Dominica

June 22nd, 2007 * Comments(0)

I just randomly felt like using some old footage that I had when I first got my camera and I was cruising the streets of Georgetown. “What the hell was I doing there? I don’t belong there.” Enjoy.

Secretarial Scope

June 20th, 2007 * Comments(1)

Secretarial Scope Since I had my headphones stolen (along with the other stuff from my backpack), and the Best Buy in Dominica doesn’t actually sell any electronics, I was forced to replace my nice Sony Sport headphones with the only pair they had for sale at the bookstore on campus. Unfortunately, they use a 1972 headphone design and technology, and they are “multimedia” according to the box (they have a microphone built in). Well, not that I really give a hoot about it, but I sure do look very stylish wearing them around on my runs. Because Micah is awesome, he bought me a new pair from the States. But his luggage has still not arrived, so I’m still using my slick “multimedia” headphones for running and listening to music. Tonight, Scope offered to do some secretarial work for me, so I allowed him to wear the headphones to make all my official, super important, business related phonecalls. I think he’s a actually quite a natural. Now if I can just teach him how to watch my lectures and take notes…

This One Goes Out to Pedro

June 18th, 2007 * Comments(0)

Pedro, this one goes out to you. And to anyone else out there who recently took the MCAT, sheared their first sheep, or is learning to play the flute: sometimes, you gotta just keep on truckin.

August Forever, and the Wine Still Sucks

June 14th, 2007 * Comments(4)

The wine still sucks I never thought I was one of those “needs to be around someone all the time” type of persons, but the past few days I’ve been questioning myself. Micah left on Saturday to attend a Mac geek conference in San Francisco, and I’ve been all alone since then. I have to admit; I’ve been feeling kind of lonely. I feel great during the day, but at night I start to miss having someone around to talk to. It’s not even that I need a human touch, but more that I need a human voice. My puppies do make nice surrogates, but unfortunately they haven’t yet learned how to speak English.

I had another epiphany the other day during my daily run. I realized that I have a lot of epiphanies. No, but seriously, I do. For those of you who know me, you can vouch for me on this one. I am what you might call an epiphany addict. I also had another epiphany during my run, which is that I really like living here. I’m starting to realize that I’m not sure if I ever want to live in the States again. Sure, I’d like to visit, but I’m beginning to understand that I don’t miss the traffic. I don’t miss the fast-paced life. I don’t miss the smog and politics.
