I Asked for It

Sometimes, when I'm in class, I almost get a rush. I love virtually everything about what I'm studying here in West Virginia (except statistics). For example, right now I'm taking a class in health policy and the health care system, and other than it further confirming the fact that the scariest thing about the state of health care right now isn't that no one really knows what to do to fix it (which is true) but rather that all anyone is willing to do is fight about what to do, I feel like I'm actually getting something out of my classes. I feel like I'm actually starting to see the bigger picture of how health is as much a reflection of who we are (i.e. our lifestyle) as it is the environment we live in. I know this makes me a giant nerd--which I'm totally okay with--but I like getting excited about my classes.

Unfortunately, though, right now I'm not feeling as excited about class as I am rather overwhelmed. I have a lot of work to do over the next few weeks which really sucks. Mainly because all I really want to do right now is a) go to Pittsburgh and shop and b) hike.
