Plan, Perhaps?

Now my mind's clicking and I can't do anything to stop it. I should be trying to get to sleep, since this might be the one time all week that I might get something close to 8 hours straight, but I have no chance of doing that when my mind is running like this. Somewhere in between the gym and the shower today my mood bounced about 400 points upwards (dont ask me what units those are) and now I can't stop thinking and getting excited.

I'm excited for the summer, because I totally forgot about this internship I'm so lucky to have in a hospital. I can spend the entire day working and observing, doing small jobs and maybe research - whatever compels me. Whatever compels me. That phrase itself just makes me smile. I'll be under the eye of one of our neighbors, who's a really cool guy and even though he has two kids and is the head of the burn center at the hospital, you can totally tell that he's the same as he was in college. It will be my first hands-on real experience with a career that I've put so much thoughts and hopes and dreams into - finally, a true beginning.

So the only flaw with this job is that it doesn't pay, which is an issue only whenever I look at my bank account and have to wince. Then I need a night job... nothing that requires too much thought, nothing that I won't be able to handle after a long day at the hospital. Ice cream :-). It's close to home, I could see my friends if they felt like visiting me, I get to smell ice cream all night (granted, I might get sick of it, but I'll suffer), and I'd be done by 11 or 12 every night, giving me enough time to get home and go to sleep before getting up for work the next morning. I'd be working non-stop, but aside from the usual issues I'd have with the work (crabby people, being tired, whatever) I like the way it sounds. Maybe this is me being an idealist and forming a too-perfect image in my head, but it sounds like the plan would allow me to do what I love and learn a TON during the day while getting to do something easier, more mindless and hopefully also fun at night.

I'm working on it... might change a lot by the time summer rolls around, and I might regret ever putting this on record, but I'll take the chance...
