The oddest thing so far
about working the night shift, honestly, is waking up in the evening to find there is a blizzard outside. It’s been snowing all day Sarah.
This is the 2nd time this has happened. I don’t even know how to explain why this is so weird. It’s like, I know I’m semi-nocturnal now and it’s not natural or normal and I’m sleeping when the rest of the world is working or...

You cannot judge a person until you’re in their shoes. You cannot judge a situation until it happens to you. You cannot judge a decision until you’re faced with the same one. You cannot cannot cannot.
But when it does happen to you, you better judge yourself.

There's a strangeness
in feeling alone in the world. When you think about it, almost every person on earth has experienced this. In a way it’s one of the few things that bind humankind together, in this unspoken, taboo kind of way. One of those things that allow us to relate to each other on such a deep level of understanding, no matter what our background is, no matter how different we are from the next person,...

You know how they say rapists and murderers take a recording of a baby crying and play it outside a window to lure women out of their houses? What if they did the same thing with cats meowing? Because there’s a cat meowing right outside our window right now and naturally, that is the first I think of.
Or, ya know, maybe it’s just…a cat meowing.

I found myself yelling at that makeup remover commercial with Jennifer Garner, insisting my makeup remover is not only just as good, but better. Until I realized the makeup remover she’s promoting is mine.
And to answer your question, yes. I’m officially changing the title of this blog to “Sarah Reacts to Commercials”.

I don’t care about Shannon Doherty in the slightest, but there was something so depressing about watching her promote online college on a commercial at 1:30am.
Just…retire Shannon. Have some dignity.

Been kinda MIA on a blog-level.
Just a quick update on my clinicals:
• I just finished my second week/4th night.
• I’m starting to feel a little less so dang nervous I want to barf.
• I think I’m getting the hang of hooking up patients with a million wires and electrodes.
• 12 hour night shifts are much more doable than they sound.
• 12 hour night shifts mean a LOT of coffee.
• 12 hour night shifts also mean a...

Being a person.
Being a person means we’re capable of doing and seeing and feeling so much good. We’re free to have unbelievable experiences. The kind we may feel we’re not worthy of, they’re so unreal. We have the luxury to even alter them to suit our fancies. Humans are so spoiled in that we breathe and eat and drink to survive, like every other living thing. But we can actually use our...

I hate it when
I’m carded and they look at me and go “Aww, you’re new!” or something.
Shocking, I know!
It’s been over 5 months. Get over it. I’m not a newborn baby. Give me my drink and let’s both get on with our lives.

When Worlds Collide.
Dad: I really like this show 30 Rock.
Me: That's weird.
Dad: Why?
Me: We're not supposed to like the same shows. You're old. How do you like a show me and my friends like? We have such different senses of humor.
Dad: Well I do. It's my favorite show at the moment. I watch it all the time.
Me: That's so weird.
Dad: o_o
Me: o_o

M.A.S.H.
Remember that game you played when you were a little kid? To see who you were gonna marry, whether you’d live in a mansion or a shack, how many kids you’d have, what your job would be, etc, etc? Well I, a 21 year old lady, spent the majority of my afternoon playing this and other dumb ~soulmate games with my friends and had WAY too much fun.
For the record, I’m gonna have 10...

Sometimes I'm dramatic.
Kristie: ....and then he was like "I used your name, I hope you don't mind." Um...yes! I mind!
Me: What the heck is the point of saying that after the fact? It really doesn't matter NOW if you mind or not , the deed is done.
Kristie: Exactly.
Me: That's like being all, "I killed your uncle....Hope you don't mind!"

Friend's name has been redacted for their own...
Setting: After I mention how bad Adam Sandler's movies have progressively become in the past few years.
Redacted: Grown Ups was great!
Me: We're done here.
Redacted: Are you kidding me that movie was good!
Me: Sorry, I didn't see it because I don't hate myself.
Redacted: Omg all the great comedians are in that movie!
Me: You're digging a really deep hole for yourself here.
Me: Don't Mess with the Zohan is literally the most horrible thing I've ever seen. I couldn't even finish it.. How do you explain that? And Jack and Jill?? WHAT IS THAT????
Redacted: Ok I'm not talking about those movies I'm talking about Grown Ups. And Jack and Jill looked funny!
Me: WhhhhhHHHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT I AM SOBBING!!!
Redacted: Omg just stop.
Me: Tears on my pillow right now.

This time next year.
Looking back on an entire year. It’s always a really surreal thing. Like clockwork, January has creeped up on me yet again. And it always feels like the year flew by. But this year especially feels just a little faster than those in the past. I feel like I’ve grown a lot. Not in a cliche found-myself way. Or some more-wise-than-I-was-in-2010 way. I still have no clue as to who the...
