Professional: Work & Writing...

So, working in the Major Children's Hospital ED has proven to be exhausting! And they're only 10 hour shifts...you'd think that I hate work. Well, I do...when it doesn't pertain to an ultimate goal. Now that I know pediatrics is not my goal, every taxing exercise (i.e. any of the seedy underbelly of training, like NICU, away ERs, etc) just makes me angry becuase I'm having to exert effort in something I don't want to do.

So, it's not me being lazy. Like I tell my friends all the time: I'll do the work, but I don't have to like it. It's a pity that some people don't realize how and why I do what I do. In any case, I have another month of Wards to get through before I hit easier street. But there's an added bonus to everything! I get to go to camp this year WITHOUT using a week of vacation! How awesome if that??? I am indebted to the niceness of the scheduling chief so I will have to make sure I get them something extra special from camp.

And now on to writing: who knew it was so difficult! Dremme and I are thinking up all kinds of concepts though I hope to make our big story applicable to real life with an infusion of magic rather than the other way around. I don't think we're on the same page in this regard, so it'll be interested to see how our disagreements pan out thoughout this. One thing that is clear for me; I cherish his friendship waaaaay more than story writing. But I also don't want to do anything halfway. So if it comes down to it, I'll stop writing (at least together) and simply enjoy my final years with him.

But it would be nice to have J.K. Rowling status...wowza. :)
