Good news! I've still got a chance to get back into med school! My supes and therapist all sent admirable (I assume) comments to the Vice Dean of Academic Affairs and he met up with the two other deans I met with yesterday and they decided to have me meet the Faculty Council tomorrow, formally, to petition for reinstatement.
Wow! I'm just humbled. And a...

that is great news!
Today was a long and grueling one.
I met with the deans after much anxiety. I presented myself rather well. They didn't turn me down right away, they just wanted more info later. I found that out as I was on my way home and one called me to really put some pressure on. He said he needed statements from me, my therapist, and supervisors...

so--
are you happy that you've got more time to explain the situation, or is this just a lot of added stress to this situation?
i hope, for all the hard work you've done today, and the realizations you've made about your life and youself has done you some good.

Well, it's time and I'm a bit nervous, understandably so. In less than three hours I will meet three deans from the UWSOM with the hopes of convincing them that I should be allowed to procede with my medical education. I've so got to conquer my emotions and think, speak and act like an effective individual. I've got to throw myself into the moment and...

Well June 6th of next week will really be D-day for me in a totally different context. I'll be meeting with the Deans of the School of Medicine to petition for reinstatement into it as a first year. The moment is finally here and if I'm not reinstated, medicine will not be my calling. Perhaps nursing will. Or something. I don't exactly know. I just...

Yes, you and I both. I seem to have a penchant for having nervous breakdowns every third day.
Hope you're more successful than I!

What's happenin' hot stuff? Goodluck with the Deans!
Folklife was crowded! Holy hell there were a lot of people. I only got to hang out for a hour or so. Pity, because the weather is so nice for once this weekend.
I'm just exhausted right now. I can't wait to go to bed tonight. I wish I could go right now, but the restaurant is actually open today and duty calls.
peace, joy...

Thanks for the birthday message. I hope Folklife was fun.
I was pissed before, but I'm over it now. I thought the worst about BB for a few days, but my buddy Mike regrounded me in rational thought and when I brought my laptop in to the store it only took a little bit of pleading to get the 60G replaced with a 100GB harddrive. The next time my harddrive goes Best Buy will have...

Best Buy sucks. I just got my laptop today and instead of just fixing my CPU fan they ended up swapping out harddrives and replaced my 100G with a 60G. Initially I had an 80G and when it went belly up the switched it for the 100 b/c all they had were 100s and 60s. Now they're gonna swap out the 60 and put in...

Blah. My laptop's in the shop for the next two weeks, so I won't be around much until it gets back to me. Bummer. I miss my baby!
Just doing the daily grind otherwise. I feel like swimming tonight! I swear, if I've got the bay to myself after work tonight, I'm gonna jump in! Yeah! I love skinny dippin' in Portage Bay at night....

It's a Dell inspiration...not super amazing but it does the job. I just got it in yesterday!
I just love this weather. It's perfect. Just perfect.
I may get out and enjoy some of it too, but for now there's work to do at the house and I've gotta get a little bit more sleep. I put in about 70 hours this past week and I'm wore out. All is going really well however. It's great.
Enjoy the day! The beauty of...

I'm loving it too. Things are hot as hell in the shipyard though.

I've been spoiled, riding around on my bike in my summer weight stuff. I keep reminding myself that this is Seattle, and spring could return next week.
I'm in a rutt, emotionally. My favorite words are "I'm working on it." And I am. I working on getting out of this rutt. I feel like I'm making some progress lately. I'm getting organized, treating people better, becoming a nice guy again. I've just got to keep avoiding avoiding and stay in one moment at a time. I'm also trying to not get upset...

Thanks for wishing my dog well. He came home for six days and then started weazing so I took him back in to get checked. Now he's staying over 24hrs a day again because his lungs are filled with mucus which can lead to pneumonia. Not a good thing to have when he's on medication to supress his immune system. I'm not going to give up on him yet, but if it comes down to him living but not having quality of life I will have to let him go. It's really hard because my dogs are my kids.
I'm a fortunate/lucky mofo!!! I got to see Paper Moon here in Seattle and they ROCKED THE HOUSE!!! It was so awesome.
that is all for now. I've gotta go to bed and get up in 5 hours or so.
oH! i DID get a new toy today. a razr, but I don't know how to use it all that well just yet. I tried...

I didn't even see this entry! Thanks so much for coming, it was so aweseome to meet you, and I really appreciate your buying a cd and taking the photos of us on my camera!
Oh, and for your crushing hug, too. That was cute!

I had the best time with my daughter this past week. Now she's flying back to her mom's in the pitiful midwest.
I miss her, SO MUCH. We had such a great time together and we did so many things and yet there was so much more we could have done. I can't wait for her to visit me again.

So what was the tour like? I'm just curious since it looked interesting on TV. Then again they make everything interesting on TV.
nikonjustice:
hey, Colette79 wants you to know that her band (Paper Moon) is playing in Seattle at Sunset Tavern on Ballard. She also apologizes for the short notice and understands if you can't be there....
