feta cheese + olives = appetizer?

Here is the deal, I have tons of studying/work to complete of the Chinese and organic chemistry nature (which is really no different than any other time of this semester), but I am so unmotivated to get into the swing of things, so I am posting. Not a freakin' clue what to say, being that my life has been fully consumed by orgo and Chinese. To be honest, despite all the stress and not socializing, there are moments when I am doing orgo and get really excited when I get a homework problem right, or in lab when the experiment goes my way or when I just totally grasp a concept--it is an amazing feeling and I love being an orgo dork. And, the other day Christina Comfort and I were asking orgo questions back and forth, and I started explaining one in Chinese, it was sooo creepy! Later in the day, I found a website that had orgo in Chinese, which also made me happy.

I started volunteering at Backus Hospital, which as of right now, entails me escorting patients to and fro various points in the hospital. I have my own volunteer badge and jacket! It is not as easy as it may look to push a person in a wheelchair (not that I have had any doorway bumpings or anything...). I work with a bunch of elderly women, who have made me want to go to Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun to play the slots, darn me not being 21 for another 7 months! I really love that I am back doing community service, I feel less selfish, and being in the hospital has made me realize that I could see myself in that type of setting, or something of that nature. Which means I think I am finally happy with the path that I am taking, major wise, and well as much as I love art, it just a passion in which I will continue on the side. My 3D art class has been a good learning experience, though I have not been all that proud of any of my projects (don't worry Drew, I won't throw them away, and I will still show them to you), but I do hope to take a drawing class senior year.

Well, I think I have gotten all my unmotivated energy out and I am ready to buckle down, so I am signing off. Enjoy the last month or so abroad, can't wait until you all return, for I can only see craziness ensuing.

Peace and Love!
