The Struggle

Oh, Duke. Why? You had so much potential, what with McRoberts doing some mad dunking, Pocius charging in like a crazy man, and Paulus actually hitting threes. Why'd you have to let it go? Don't you know what you're doing to yourself?!? The brackets get selected Sunday, and you're playing like a bubble team. Not like a team that had won all but 1 of the last 8 ACC tournament title games. When will you step up and reclaim your true self? *sigh.......*

Okay, enough lamenting about that. My last weekend at St. Vincent's is this weekend!! After the atrociousness of my shifts last time I work, when I came home exhausted and literally crying, Dustin and I figured out a plan, and I'm quitting! I already turned in my two weeks' notice a week ago. For the next 14 months, I'm a full-time student and a full-time wife, instead of a part-time everything. Yay!

So I'm giving a little presentation tomorrow about my research project idea. If it goes well, I get to implement my project. Very, very cool stuff. I'm really excited about it, actually. If you see me in person, don't mention cancer or else I will truly go off on a tangent. You've been warned. My tentative project is on quality of life of adolescents who have received a bone marrow transplant. I think it's going to be cool. If I do it right (with the help of my faithful mentors), then it could potentially be published by next year. That's the goal anyways.

Dude, I seriously don't know what I (or my Dad) will do if Duke doesn't get their act together.... I mean, they are almost in question about whether or not they'll even be in the NCAA tournament. It's that bad. Ugh, I can't bear it.
