so, i got the tutor job! (well, i guess it's not a "job" b/c i don't get paid, but i'm not exactly getting paid to be a campus minister either.)
i was walking back from the interview (which was GREAT by the way), and i realized that i'm excited. i'm excited to be here, to be starting a campus ministry/church, and now to be tutoring inner-city teenagers. it's like i'm living out my dream...i'm pretty blown away by that.
and i realized something else. while i do have this passion for medicine, i think the whole nursing school thing can wait. i figured out that i have a good 1.5 years before i need to act on applying for the master's program at BC. and...i know my deeper passion is for campus ministry and teenagers and education. so maybe grad school for education at some point?
for now, i'm happy with no school. :)

okay...
so, i've given in to this whole blogging thing. partially out of boredom, but mainly to share what's going on out here with all of you, whoever and wherever you are! so whether you are back in the Midwest, or you are overseas, or even if you are my neighbor here in Boston, you get to know just a little bit of what's happening with me.
today. it's rainy, but i like it. i've been checking out more options for school...this morning i talked to some people at BU. i don't know, i keep going back and forth with what to do. take classes? apply to grad school? take classes so i can apply to grad school? i need to make a decision pretty soon...classes start next tuesday. so much of me just wants to take some fun classes, like ones i never got to take in college. but, most of the fun classes are not available at night, which would be fine for me, except that night classes are 1/4 the cost of "normal" classes. and i have no money.
anyway, so after i perused around BU, this guy named michael stops me on the sidewalk and tells me about his views on LaRouche and Cheney and Iran and economic policy. it was great. one of many things i love about boston: people actually utilitize their freedom of speech, and they give a crap about politics. i will admit, i'm pretty ignorant when it comes to politics, but that's the reason i stopped. i want to learn. so we talked for a good 20 minutes. i learned a lot.
i've been at the espresso royale cafe for a couple hours. it reminds me of vienna. but without the vienna smell. :) and they played ben folds' annie waits. and they have great mango green iced tea.
next up: interview for volunteer tutoring!
