Random thoughts about Facebook and life...

I have been thinking a lot about some of the people that have "friend requested" me over the past few months. They are people that I went to middle and high school with, and a few of them were pretty mean to me back in the day. Now I know everyone grows up and changes, but how is it that the old scars (that should be distant and trivial memories) never seem to completely fade away. How is it that we can't simply let some things go? How is it that some people never seem to leave our memories, and others vanish so easily?

I was given the answer the other day... "That's just the way it is," and it instantly reminded me of The Rembrandts hit song "Just The Way It Is, Baby"

Do you remember once upon a time, when you were mine?
The stars above were bright and new
I pulled them down for you, just when I fell in love again
You said that all good things must end

Baby, that's just the way it is baby
Baby, that's just the way it is baby

I've never had a hand for solitaire, it's so unfair
That I should have my chance and lose
I feel like I've been used to help you through another night
You spelled it out in black and white

Baby, that's just the way it is baby
Baby, that's just the way it is baby

The tides that once had carried you away
That bring you back today
The time has washed away my pain
You'll find that things have changed and disappeared without a trace
You can't get back what you've erased
And I say

Baby, that's just the way it is baby - that's just the way it is
Baby, that's just the way it is baby - oh that's just the way it is
Baby, that's just the way it is baby
Baby, that's just the way it is baby - just the way it is
Baby, that's just the way it is baby
Baby, that's just the way it is baby, baby
Baby, that's just the way it is baby
Baby, that's just the way it is baby
Baby, baby, that's just the way it is baby

I guess it will always stay just the way it is...

Six years and counting...

That I have been in the Army now. SIX YEARS! How does that happen?! I swear that I just graduated and commissioned like last week. I am now at my third duty station, back in school, married, a veteran, and six years older. Time flies when the Army keeps you on the move!

As for what has been going on for the last two months... School flew right along and now I have finished my first year of grad school. I start my preceptorship at San Francisco General Hospital in a week and I am so excited to get back to the ED! Hopefully I will get to see some good trauma and get a solid idea of what being a CNS is all about.

Other than that, Michael and I have been hanging out in a great city and being grateful that we are living in the same place for once!
