We can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do, by what we deny ourselves, by what we resist and who we exclude.

The hood.

So mom and I took a walk around the block, being healthy and all.

And I'll just say if I wasnt from around here I'd wonder if I shouldn't feel completely safe walking in the neighborhood. Half or more of the houses are still as they were before, middle-class American with well kept yards.

The other half? Weeds, trash, paint chipping, cars parked IN THE GRASS, and basically just falling apart.

Very sad to see the neighborhood going so downhill.

Start rotation tomorrow at the rural pharmacy. wooo. Well not excited or anything, but at least I get to wear jeans.

We'll see how tomorrow goes!

Wide open spaces

So.

Finishing up school soon. Thank you Jesus. Well, for this year anyway. But not more classes! Only rotations!!! Again, thank you, Jesus.

Moving back to west texas for 6 weeks........hopefully that will go well. Excited/nervous. I know by the end I'll be ready to come back I'm sure.

So what to do to keep me occupied while I'm there.

1. Try to go through ALL of my notes and review everything to get ready for all the rotations.
2. Work out (and get mom walkin!)
3. Learn how to cook some new stuff
Ummm running out of things to do.....
4. Work in the yard and try to get everything fixed up.
hmmmmmmmmmm

Yeah thats all I can think of. Any ideas Lauren?

Looking forward to it. I hope it goes better than I'm imagining though!


And wondering how the cat will do in the car.....
