Familiar, But Not Quite Normal

When I got home, everything was really familiar, but not normal. I would make a phone call to say, AT&T and try to greet everyone that answered realizing later that I should just get to the point. Sounds silly, but I came home pretty socially awkward. It's amazing how many social ettiquettes there are in every new place you go.

Well, I recovered quick and now life feels pretty normal. Since home, I've taken the GRE, applied to UW-Milwaukee and enrolled in 2 Anatomy and Physiology classes and a statistics class for the summer, organized a sublet in Milwaukee and ran errands. Lots of errands. I'm applying to a master's program to become a Nurse Midwife. Not sure if I'll get in, but I'm hopeful.

Tomorrow I leave for Costa Rica to accompany my mom down to her hand clinic Nicaragua trip. I won't actually attend the hand clinic, but I'll do a couple days of traveling with her from Costa Rica to Nicaragua. We're planning on stopping at 2 cities on the way and then I'll fly home and she'll hold her clinic in a few hospitals in Managua. Quick trip, but it'll be fun for the last week before school.

I've been really lucky since I've been home; I've been able to see a lot of my family and friends. They've been so supportive and I've loved hearing about everything that's happened since I left. Hope all is well in everyone else's lives. Can't wait to see and hear from everyone.
