For the next 3 weekends I'll be visiting 3 US cities. I never thought I'd spend so little time in Baltimore, hahaha. That's ok, I'll have a couple of weekends to make up. I'm now getting ready, until a car comes and takes me away to some fun.
Next week we'll start working on the dialysis clinics!!!!! And I might finally see a kidney transplant!!!! Oh, the excitement!!!!!

Missing
I haven't written in a while.....blame med school. Now as I'm in my little studio, relocated in Baltimore. I think, and feel the need to share.
Baltimore has been great, met a bunch of people, seeing patients is my favorite part of the day, I'm meeting with my mentor next week and that excites me, can't wait to regularly visit the clinics, public transportation STINKS, and Hopkins has been amazing to me.
Today I was walking somewhere and this feeling of need came over me, I missed a bunch of people. And it's not that to this point I haven't missed anyone but just today is when I felt the magnitude of missing someone, or a lot of people, in my case.
What do people do to not feel this way? Do you just ignore it and occupy your mind with something else? I can't escape it, maybe it was the way I was raised, maybe it was the fact that about 5 years ago was when I started dealing with the fact that life changes, people move and change their minds.
Then I asked myself, well, who do you REALLY miss? The list came quickly. A wonderful group of family, friends and not-anymore-friends. As a typical type A personality I tried to look for the perfect solution to this emotional necessity, but there was none. I couldn't get all those wonderful people in a room together and have a big get-together with them. I couldn't possibly call them all today and tell them how much I missed and loved them. I could just hope that soon enough I'll get to see them again, and I will, for the most part see them in time.
I have to go now, must book a flight! Can't wait!
