full-timer

hey everyone - it's been a while since i last wrote. things have been pretty busy in my neck-of-the-woods lately. i moved to boston... i moved to boston... i will say it again - i moved to boston. my south florida school adventures - as sarah likes to nickname my blogg - has brought me to boston. boston - why here you may ask... to slave away the rest of my life is why... i am an extern at mass eye and ear infirmary. it has been a crazy week too. i suprised them on my first day - everyone thought that i had orientation, but i walked in and they sent me to work, and have been going ever since. now, i like it there, i really do and they have this system that just works sometimes... but man, i never realized how tired or exhausted i could be... maybe it's the getting up at 6:15am every morning - or maybe it's how i am always on my feet and i wear sucky shoes....or maybe it's because they work me and keep me busy. when it's not seeing patients, it's checking the mail in, when it's not that it's cleaning a hearing aid, or setting up an FM system bedside at the hospital... who knows - but i have been extremely tired.... or maybe it could be taking the train into downtown.... who knows...
but alas, i am here in boston... things are way different... and the city is nice - there is so much to see and do, but finding your way around can be a big pain... i thought driving was bad in south florida - uh, ah!!! no lines on the road, no street signs, no turning lanes.... no wonder this is the worste city to drive in..... i absolutely hate it... oh and road rage... even though it's totally constituted because the roads suck.... wow, people are nutz!!!
OH and worse thing about boston - wes isn't here. although we had a rocky parting - he made me totally mad the night before he left about a silly little thing and i cried myself to sleep that night oh, and how he was dying to get home by saying "no, offense jen, but i really don't want to be here" the day before - i miss him. ALOT - and it's hard to say that, but i totally got used to him being around and now he's not. it totally sucks and i am even forgetting what he looks like, how he smiles, that seducctive look he gives me when he wants to kiss me... it's harder than i thought it was going to be. the hardest part of missing him is not having him here at church - we have been sitting next to each other in church for months and not now is just killing me. he is the out-going one... he is into introductions and meeting people and being comfortable around new people...which is NOT me... i am missing my ysa ward like crazy and him. juliann - a friend i used to VTeach who lived apart from her now husband for a year and who was giving me advice about distance relationships - said "you'll cry alot and you will feel horribly lonely". I do...and it's rough... and i hate it.
anyway - what a page full... i have to be getting ready for tomorrow... at least i have orientation and then OR training.... that should be fun... good night.... :(
