Well, once again I had to pay for parking but I got free food for the global health information meeting. AND, I learned that my internal compass is securely in place! parked on the w12th ave parking garage, found out its connected to the hospital, and just walked through it the way I felt I should through the tunnel-like system, through the various offices/departments/food areas, and somehow ended up at the front door near my class! I didn't stop, barely paused, didn't look at maps, just went towards a direction and even though it felt like I randomly turned, it all turned out right! And later, going back to the parking lot, I didn't have a problem going through the building for the equivalent of like 2 blocks or something. I was pretty excited, it might not sound like a big deal to anybody else, but to me, it is. It made me feel good. It's the little things...
I am really excited!
So much to do though, like application, finding a project, finding a place to do the project and a precept for the project...in a developing country over some/all of summer! What is it that I want to do? We'll see!
Went to Giant Eagle, then home. Ended up spending a lot, but I have a lot of projects/food I want to make and stuff...Got whole cloves by accident instead of ground cloves because it was on sale...I don't have anything to grind it with...except maybe stick it in saran wrap/paper bag and smash it on something not valuable with a hammer. I wouldn't smash it hard of course... I also came to the conclusion that even though Giant Eagle isn't a favorite because it doesn't have all that I need when I want it...it's better than the Kroger that is near me which sorta creeps me out thanks to its location. Even though I like the stuff at Whole Foods better, it is so expensive there! and so hard to navigate! and today, I realized why I have trouble navigating it when normally I've been really good about it recently...
Everything in the store looks about the same, they're all about "natural" and "organic" and are all packaged in similar colors and materials... no wonder I get confused, everything looks the same from a distance.
Went to a 4 hour long class, which turned out well apart from feeling REALLY drawn out and LONGGGGG...ugh, 4 hours straight? Well, more like 3 and a half because we got let out early. Anyway, I'm sort of excited because we have presentations coming up and we get to choose a disease and talk about the incidence, prevalence, mortality/morbidity rates, relevance, why we are interested, how it is transmitted and treated, etc. There are a couple I am interested in, and maybe it'll give me a head start or at least help in determining what project I want to do for my practicum/study abroad because it is important to try out what I may possibly want to do with my life to make sure that's where I belong. I am excited! I hope I do not run out of this energy to figure everything out!
After class I made amazing banana-nut bread and it was quick! Delicious. And I made dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's amazing that I keep losing weight because I cook every day and eat a lot...I have the receipts to prove it.
Columbus is good, so many interesting things/experiences to look forward to and plan for, and so many new friends!
