This is hilarious! I find it interesting enough that we have the shortest railroad here in downtown LA but now we have goats grazing along the hill by it!
As a fourth year student, grassroots participant in campaigning, and patient advocate I can benefit from the study tour experiences in several ways. Namely through the collection of information and experiences and bringing that back to my medical school, fellow students, and community to further the grassroots efforts in making UHC a reality. Further, as I am intimately involved in the future of medical education at my medical school through committee participation for our new sister campus I not only have the inclination to distribute this information I also have a mechanism and means to do so in a constructive and pragmatic manner. I have just recently completed campaigning for a statewide candidate with a strong grassroots campaign. Through the six weeks I spent with the campaign I have learned more about the campaign process in elections, the importance and struggles of grassroots campaigns, and am energized in pursuing further campaign and possibly candidate training in the near f...
so i am annoyed with several things about...well...work. in order to not to offend anyone in a public forum i will be somewhat cryptic...but if you must know---then ask! someone today made me feel someway today that i did not like and appreciate---or should i say that this person's actions initiated me to get into a particular mood or to 'allow' myself to be annoyed by him or her....and all that psychobabble that i know i believe in yet do not completely buy for all situations...yeah i know doesn't make much sense--but it is not supposed to. needless to say...told was 'the worst' today....of what...figure that one out! and talk about kissing some ass by some people...my god! so here i am tired and should be going to sleep yet writing this to just blab about it one more time...and hopefully not let it continue to 'bug' me! post-post-call day is actually one of the worst feelings you can have.
