Tired

So I spent most of my day at the hospital today. From noon to four in the afternoon, I was shadowing at the pediatrics emergency department. There were so many cute children today. One memorable one was a little four year old blonde girl who shoved a little bead up her nose that got stuck. She was so calm and cooperative--something that is rare in the peds ed. The attending finally got the suction and pulled the little bead out of her nose. It was quick and painless. Most of the other cases involved either colds/flu, ear infections or migrains. Typical cases in the peds ed that I go to. Then I went up to the Upper West Side to eat at a Peruvian-Chinese restaurant. Weird combination, but it works. It was tasty and was good to see some old friends. Then afterwards I went down to the Adult ED to volunteer for two hours. It didn't seem very busy but I seemed to have been busy during the whole two hours. Now Im so very tired... Maybe I'll sleep early tonight. We'll see... Good night!

First

I sit in front of my computer under my loft bed. A quiet anxiety has taken over me today. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's my cleaning up that's bothering me. I'm finally sorting through my things thinking about moving back to California. It's been six years since I've left my parents' nest and I will return in a little more than a month. Nostalgia is setting in. I was looking through my old pictures from elementary school and I wonder if my time in New York will once be a fond memory. I title this blog "Silent Chaos" primary due to my current feelings, but I hope it may fit with my overall theme. I just want to write down what my thoughts are when they happen. I write for myself, and not for others to read. However, I welcome anyone who is interested to read on and follow me. I have always had the feeling that my life is too uninteresting for others to care about. This maybe true. Read at your own risk.
