Back to the Grind

Grind, oh grind! I'm back! Puerto Rico was a lot of fun, albeit the less-than-ideal weather that was warm and humid, and rainy. But despite all that, I'm so glad I got to hang out with my girls and reminisce on the old times we had back in college. :) More on the trip this weekend.

Some sporadic updates:
Late last night I had a conversation with someone who talked about her retirement plans, what she wanted to do to keep her entertained etc. Listening to her talk requires a lot of patience - she never fails to talk down everyone around her while blowing her own trumpet, she's always right about everything, she's better than everyone else, and if there's anything wrong it's always other people's fault. Every single time! It baffles me that she thinks so highly of herself, and that she sincerely holds true to her beliefs. Being surrounded by great friends who are warm and caring most of the time, friends who think alike and are mostly moderates in their actions and beliefs, I am once again reminded to not judge her or people like her, and take a step back to amuse myself from afar. I love my friends, and especially so the ones who think alike as I do, but not everyone has to be such, and they certainly have all the rights in the world to be opinionated, stubborn and/or radical. After all that's what make the world so colorful. But in all honesty, I'm thankful I don't see her that often and don't need to talk to her on a daily basis. Another plus for working graveyard shift. ;)

Two more weeks and I'll be done with classes, successfully finishing my certificate program on healthcare management. Yay! Only, now I have quite a lot of work to get done before the deadlines. So it's going to be a gruesome two weeks. Hello to more coffee, caffeine, lots of binging, sleepless days and nights, and fast food. After this though, I should focus on more important stuff, like getting my application done and start searching for financial aid.

Where is life going to take me this time? I wonder. This time, however, it's with much anticipation and less of those suffocating angst.
