the last few days I've been a complete funk - bad mood, aggravated, upset, just plain frustrated. I will have to attribute some of that to a good friend - a La Salle student Greg Green - being in the hospital and being very sick - please keep him in your prayers - and it really worries me - but I haven't heard much lately so I guess you could say no news is good news.

on a lighter note - I don't have much work the next few weeks which has given me the chance to get a good start on a final paper for my ethics class. however, despite all the free time I just seem to get more frustrated with being here. I just want to pack up all my things and go home. I just want to hand in all my papers, take all the tests, and take all the finals and get out of here. I'm going to Miami for 5 weeks from may to June to shadow and anesthesiologist and all I can think about is sunny, warm Florida, and the pool in my aunt and uncles back yard and the beach 15 minutes away and tanning. even more than that I'm excited to participate in research at the hospital and watch tons of surgeries - I want to go to medical school when I graduate La Salle and I think this is a great opportunity for me to see what research and medicine is all about.

hopefully in the next few weeks school won't be so bad - and time will fly - and I'll be in Florida before I know it - and hopefully Greg will get out of the hospital soon because it's really starting to tear me up - I'm sure everyone else has their own problems and misfortunes but I just ask you all to keep Greg in your prayers for me - thank you!
