Man, I've been really lax about writing. I suppose its been a mixture of apathy, laziness and some bouts of activity that I should be doing (ex. studying). But, since my sleep schedule is completely messed up right now I thought I'd take a second to blog. I worked four 12 hour shifts over the past 4 nights so I ended up sleeping 12 hours during the day Monday.
I actually had to reset my password since it had been long enough between blog posts for me to forget whatever my old password was. On that note, I usually try and keep the number of my passwords to a minimum because I have a pretty crappy memory. Don't ask me to remember any phone numbers because the only one I can remember is my own. Should I ever be stranded somewhere without my phone and need to get a hold of anyone I'd be pretty screwed.
I overheard some Christmas songs the other night and was just astounded how quickly time is flying. Each day doesn't seem to go too fast but damn, I can't believe we only have 5 weeks left in 2010!
Hmm, what else is new. My mom and grandma are actually visiting me this week. In a sad turn of events my Grandma had to move back to Missouri because of her advancing dementia. Dang, I don't know if its because I'm getting older, or maybe since I've been working with a lot of elderly at the hospital, but I really think losing your mental capacity is so much worse than failing physical health. I guess it could be argued that losing physical abilities while being completely aware of whats happening would suck as well. Dang, when I think about it, I suppose either would suck equally. OK, whoever reads this has my full permission (and request) to end my life should I ever become physically or mentally incapacitated.
Ahahaha, well damn, that's kind of a downer conversation to have with someone huh?
Ok, on to some better conversation topics. My semester is winding down with finals coming in 3 weeks. I have the nursing school applications back in and should hear by the first of next year. We'll see where my studies take me next.
Socially I've come to a near complete stand still. I suppose this shouldn't be a complete surprise since I'm an old man in a college town. I've been invited to a few parties here and there, but politely refuse (on the secret grounds that I would feel really, really old at these parties). I would still go out to dance clubs since I feel that my age would be better camouflaged in these settings.
The only thing that I do on a somewhat regular basis is to go to a weekly Trivia night here at a local bar. I do have fun and its a good excuse to get out of the house and go somewhere other than the library.
I do have the week off from classes due to the holiday break and its going to be spent with the family and actually a lot of moving around. We're getting my grandma's room ready at my aunt's house so there is some furniture to be moved. After that it should just be eating and watching sports...good times!
Ok, its 6 am and I hear my mother stirring downstairs. She wanted to get a big jump on the day so I suppose that's my signal to take a nap. =)
Interesting tidbit about the song lyrics for today's post. Its actually an English version cover of a Korean song by Taeyang. Yes, because of my cousins I do have K-Pop tendencies. HERE is the version of the real song (which sounds good too) but I have no idea what he's saying. I'm pretty sure the guy who made the cover just wrote his own lyrics, but I could be wrong and it could be a translation. Either way I do like the beat.
Till next time!
