I'm cold but still I wait.
Being cryptic while utilizing bad English is the new sliced bread.

I've finally found a pair of earphones long enough to run from the back of my PC to my seat (thank you, Comic-Con freebie!), and so I'm listening to my stash of downloaded/HD saved music for the first time in months. The selection's not too hot but there are occasional treasures to be found, treasures buried so deep I've yet to find them. My taste is fairly generic and mainstream, but I like what I like.

5 AM found me on the corner waiting for the bus, sleepy as all hell. 7 PM finds me parked in front of my PC *still* sleepy as all hell. I think I was insulted in Spanish and Cantonese by two different little old ladies during my rotation this morning. Joy. In Psych you don't have to worry about verbal assaults so much as the physical ones, and those I can handle. Odd, perhaps, but true. I want to fast-forward to the part where I have my own practice already; delayed gratification has never been my strong-suit.

The interesting part of my day came during pre-conference, when my instructor asked me (in front of my fellow students) whether I enjoyed the Med-Surg rotation. I toyed with lying for a second but decided to be honest, and chalked it up to getting bored way before it was time to leave for post-conference. I then compared Med-Surg to Psych, sharing with everyone how much I enjoyed my time over there. Most of them vocalized their dislike with Psych, and then I was told by my classmates that I have the "right temperment" for Psych work. I'm trying to figure out what exactly they meant by that.

ETA - Doesn't it seem that LJ has had an incredibly large growth spurt, as seen by number of journals? There was something like a one million count increase over... six months? I feel certain there's one angsty teenager out there with a good number of those journals.

I don't really like medical dramas. Before I started nursing school I didn't like the way there was always a crisis every week, and now that I'm in nursing school I don't like the way nurses roles are ignored. I've only seen one episode of Grey's and I found it too quirky for my own good. I chuckled a bit at the blatant medical misinfo, and ultimately found it impossible to sit back and take everything in. It has some lovely love triangles, though. If I was into that sort of show I think I'd like it. I just prefer "real life" medical stuff like Life in the ER and Trauma, that's all.

Ah. Understandable. I'm just so uninformed medically that I don't even notice they're in a hospital most of the time. LOL. I think I'm just caught up in the storylines moreso than the medical stuffs. I like it more than House, though. House bothers me.
