So the last time I tried to update, this site was undergoing maintenance, so I wasn’t able to post. In the words of Gopher, “Sorry, America.” I am anxiously awaiting the new Dorm Life episode that will be posted at midnight tonight! Prediction: Mystery Hot Girl will be involved!!! Danny B is awesome, but my new and permanent favorite character is Courtney, played by Nora Kirkpatrick. If you need further evidence as to why she is the best on this show, please watch this video. She reminds me of my old neighbor Bonnie Herald Glass for some reason…
Anyway, my body keeps reminding me how old it’s getting. For example, I just ate a bunch of junk food, and my stomach is not happy with me. I think it’s giving me the cold shoulder. I’ll eat some vegetables in a bit to get back on its good side. I was talking to Troy the other night about how old I am getting. I’ll be 23 in a few months. I remember Mark E. complaining to me about how old he felt when he turned 23 and I was 20, and at the time I told him that that was not old, and told myself that I would never complain about getting old when I really wasn’t. But I can’t help myself now. But I’m really excited for this week because Troy is coming to Indy to celebrate his 25th and it should be a great time! He’s telling everyone that it’s his 21st so people will pay more attention to him… He’ll never tell you about the 4 years he took off school to volunteer for the Peace Corps (and that they waived the baccalaureate requirement for him). Anyway, I miss that kid so much, so it will be good to see him and the rest of his buds. I’m thinking about going up to Lafayette the weekend after Memorial Day to go to Northview and maybe hang out. We’ll see…
So yesterday was the first time a real patient called me “doctor.” It was probably the coolest thing ever. In school we mock-call ourselves doctors when we’re doing counseling simulations, but yesterday was the real thing. He said, “Thank you, doctor,” after I’d helped him out. I corrected him and told him that I still have two years of school left, but the truth is that at work people come to me seeking my advice all the time, and they take it. It makes me wish I had a really cool last name like Pepper or Dre…
