so my thoughts for the week:

- rain is nice after being sunny for a week straight. and it's also nice that i can depend on georgia to bring the sun back to me.

- i realized that i don't actually enjoy hiking. and i don't think anyone really does. i mean really, who says, "man. climbing up a steep hill with lots of gear is a blast. i love being sweaty, out of breath, and sore. it's the best" ? I mean really, that just isn't realistic. I like feeling like a beast after conquering a mountain. I love the scenery. I like the smell of the trail. But the actual act of hiking? Yuck. I do however, very much enjoy camping. I like smelling like campfire. I like sleeping in a sleeping bag. I like waking up by sunlight. All great things. So conclusion? Hiking=Sucky. Camping=Awesome.

- taking a drain out of a patient's neck is not what made me pass out last week at clinical. cuz i saw one taken out this week (a bigger drain might i add) and i was fine. didnt feel the slightest bit lightheaded.

- speaking of clinicals, this was my last week on the floor of the hospital. so that was exciting. next week i'll be observing at a rehab facility.

- benadryl works pretty dang well for allergies/colds. but man, sleep will engulf you.

- i get to model a back brace this sunday. i'll make 150 bucks for only 3 hours. so awesome!

- i miss sketching. i'm too busy to do it right now.

- i can't wait to be old enough to adopt and do foster care. i want those kids to know that they are wanted and loved. and they should have a safe, loving home. always.

- i really would like another good dream soon. i love having dreams. i'm always surprised at what my brain comes up with.

- here are a few of my sketches:
