Lime’s words a few minutes ago, after checking her grades on the Medical Licensing Exam, were, “Oh my God!” or something close to that. For the record, she was bouncing around with a smile on her face, so I guess she meant it in a good way. Dr. Lee. She did it. :) (For those wishing to congratulate her, you could do it on her site or, well, she’ll see whatever people write here, too.)

Yeah, camp is wearing on me. Wait, I think it’s the accumulated effect of four full camps, with this one being the least-well-organized, that is wearing on me. Things like someone booking buses to the basketball game tonight for 6:00pm but not thinking to move dinnertime earlier than the usual 5:30pm. Things like nobody knowing where this or that thing is. Things like continual revision of exercises and activities ten minutes before they begin, after nobody showed any interest in revising them a month ahead of time. And yeah, though I’ve spent fewer nights in the dorm than last time …

NOTE: I posted this a while back, but it wasn’t published until a few days ago. The “today” mentioned is at least several weeks back. Lime and I were waiting for a cab today, and this twerp came after us, looked at us, and then positioned himself to catch anything that would be coming our way. When a cab pulled up, Lime hollered “Yaaa!” (Hey!) to him, to remind him we’d been waiting first. The word’s not the most polite thing, but on the scale of impoliteness it’s not anywhere near as bad as nabbing someone else’s cab. The bastard …

I don’t know if it’s because of a change in sleep habits, but I’ve been having a lot of vivid dreams. Now, I’m told that I grind my teeth in my sleep, and if these dreams are any indication of my usual dreaming pattern, I can see why. I don’t remember any of my dreams usually, but these days they’re all semi-present when I awaken, and they’re definitely NOT pretty. The snippet I remember at this moment was being at a hospital. A bunch of orphaned Korean children had come through some kind of awfulness — I’m not sure whether …

It’s kind of exhausting. That’s all.

It’s going, it’s going, it’s already been going for two days. That is to say, two days down and… ungh, I don’t want to think about how many more. Highlights: I woke up this morning in a dormitory room with no heat. The heat vent had been blowing tepid air when I went to bed at midnight, but even that cut out sometime in the night and I awoke in a strange bed to a freezing cold dorm room. It was extremely unpleasant, and I cannot imagine how it could happen that with 150 kids plus assorted teachers and teaching …
