it is 9 pm in Los Angeles. I havent written in mad long. I have been working, daily, in Harbor City with the Family Medicine Department at Harbor UCLA. Full time work is crazy even though i'm loving it.
I get home, hang out and gossip with my mom, drink some tea, maybe swim and then it is time to eat, then sleep.
The commute is about and hour and a half so my day ends up being from around 730 am to 730 pm even though i am working 9 to 5 or 6.
just put down the skeleton of my life since finals.
I officially passed my first year in med school!!!
I did pretty piss poor on the Neuro final exam but still passed easily and i almost honored Behavioral Science- but no.
Then on June 21st I came to Los Angeles. Straight on Friday night to Rashmi's dance performance. I hadn't seen her in a year, since right before I went to Guatemala and then before that who knows when. She is the only person who has completely fallen out of my life that I was so close to. But the break was unbelievably whack almost 5 yrs ago and we are both in very different places now.
Anyway, she has always been an off the hook in Bharatnatyam and she had organized this benefit for domestic violence where she danced pretty much alone on stage for three hours and got all the rich indian folks to donate money. 15 thousand dollars!!
A good use of art- I gotta figure out a way to talk about medicine in order to tap the wealthy resources in the LA indian community.
Friday was coming home after cramming for finals and June passing away and I started work right on Monday, the 24th.
this internship has gotten my blood pumping and inspired about the possibilities of medicine and good solid work.
ill break down the details soon...
