What About Everything

What about aeroplanes? And what about ships that drank the sea? What about... What about the moon and stars? What about soldier battle scars And all the anger that they eat? What about... What about aliens? What about you and me and... What about gold beneath the sea? What about... What about when buildings fall? What about that midnight phone call... The one that wakes you from your peace? Well, I am not, I am not, I am not in need - Carbon Leaf "What About Everything"

Bye bye baby, baby good bye...

Dropped my younger sister, Nadya, at the airport today. She will be studying in Firenze, Italia for the next school year and then traveling after. It was...rough. For those of you who don't know, she is and will always be my best friend and I really don't know what to do without her. I guess I should be glad that things all went crazy in Kenya and I ended up back here months early so I could hang out with her...but still. Who will hang out with me and watch hours of Scrubs/The Office? Who will laugh at all of my jokes!?

Things are good other than that...I am working as a pharmacy technician, which is actually pretty fun. Nothing as exciting as being Dr. Mzungu but still, its very interesting. I got this awesome little book about the 200 most common prescriptions and their uses/effects which is really really sweet - it beats my little notebook that I was scribbling notes in from my times in the KENWA pharmacy. I think I just like working with health in general. I just turned 22 a week and a half ago and it really got me thinking about what I want to do with my life...I guess you could say I am officially an adult. Ugh.

I am antsy to travel again...which honestly, is a good thing I think. I was afraid I would not be excited to travel after my last little crazy adventure, but I truly want to get out of here. I am going to roadtrip it for the weekend to Rapid City, SD to see Jeffrey so hopefully that will get some of it out of my system.
