fortunately however, school is finally over, and i will soon get to put my deviant obsession to good use. but sadly not today, though i do understand. the first day of externship naturally mandates defining the pecking order, and the hours of orientation paperwork and grunt filing gently demonstrated that i am last in it. but i suppose it's good for me. it'll help build the character i so desperately lack, as will the externship site itself. working at the international district community health center, i am a lone mexican in a sea of asian women. all of whom are way skinnier than me and talk in several languages i cannot understand. the upside of course is that i'm slightly taller than at least a handful of them and thus, i am slightly more smug. which i suppose neutralizes some of the character building i was aiming for, but i accept the loss willingly.
overall, i'm pretty stoked on where things are in life right now. there's been some adjustments i've had to make lately, and i miss my friends both from home and from school. but as my second favorite minnesotan says, "it's a good day to face the hard things...each day i will try to do better, right now is where i guess i belong." (and yes, gina, that makes you my first favorite minnesotan.)
now that i have some actual breathing room, expect more disjointed rantings here in the future! huzzah! with that i leave you, your found item of the day:
true that.
