Gawd, what's it been, like 2 years? You young'uns probably don't even recognize me. Renegade Turner! Viking Zippy! And all of you I knew way back when! Where are the rest of you old folks? I missed all y'all.
I guess I owe it to you to explain where I've been. Well, it's a long series of events, so I'll make a list.
- Since I went missing, I've gone through a few more surgeries to correct complications that arose with my adenoidectomy in my Eustachian tubes, so that took up a big chunk of my time.
- I bought a 360 and got hooked on it, then got un-hooked.
- I went through junior year, and 'twas quite poor a year indeed.
- I worked my butt off as a lifeguard at the Ithaca YMCA for $7.60 until a week ago, when I got a raise to $7.80, joy.
- I got a job lifeguarding at a local lakefront beach for $8.75 an hour, and no one ever went to the beach (it was the best job EVER)
- This year I've decided that I'm extremely interested in medicine, so I applied to and got into in a program called New Visions, where 14 seniors from the surrounding district take morning classes at their respective high schools, then commute to the local medical center to either take more classes (on mondays and fridays) or shadow doctors in basically every department in the hospital. I've had a TON of fun, I've learned so much, and my interest in medicine has only increased! Stories to follow if requested (I've been to surgery and the ER and have a few
)
It's good to be back.
