I don't remember the last time I posted or blogged. Orientation has been brutal. Incredibly tiring. I haven't really learned anything. I've sat there a lot of times wondering if it is really possible to get rid of paper medical records all together. It's scary to think that healthcare could be taken over completely by computers and palm pilots. At the same time, a lot of mistakes could be prevented like prescribing the wrong medication, having to decipher physician handwriting, and losing records in general.

I don't know why I blog at all. I keep hoping a certain someone reads this, but I doubt he ever will. I'd be surprised if he catches me saying that. This summer has been such a learning experience. It's weird to think how much I know I've grown and changed. I'm also becoming more adventurous! Yesterday, I drove home on the highway ALL BY MYSELF. I could have used a drink last night too. A tequila sunrise would have been great. Maybe in two weeks because next week, Papa Lin and Frank are coming up because I'm a dumbass and forgot some stuff at home.

I might go swimming tomorrow. I haven't decided if I want to try out my complex's outdoor pool. Maybe I'll hit up the fitness room. At least there's a TV in the room so you have something to stare at while on the treadmill. I've just been so out of it. I don't know what's gotten in to me.

Yesterday, I had the weirdest experience. I was at this German pub/bar and one of my co-workers asked another co-worker if he was going to the Moon Festival celebration. Apparently, there is a chinese mailing list within my company. I said I got that e-mail too except I wasn't going to associate myself with the Chinese people in the company. My co-worker asked "why" and I replied because they don't speak English (which was evident from the e-mail that was sent out.) Not only that, but I'm not Chinese. Before I could even say THAT, my OTHER co-worker, the one who was asked the first initial question goes "you're not Chinese are you? You're Taiwanese." Flat out, just like that, he knew. First time any one has ever called me out on it. Kind of weird don't you think? He also asked me about someone which I thought was peculiar too, given I haven't divulged any information regarding my personal life. Strange I tell you...

I miss being able to do some stress-relieving shopping. I guess all the more to look forward to in November when I go home... can't wait to see Baby! (and I mean that LITERALLY.) Auntie Kathy is going to bring back LOTS of gifts.... hee hee...

I don't know how much longer I can last with these 8-5 days... *sigh* I feel like I'm a freshman in high school ALL over again. Orientation is NO fun. Neither is finding out that I need to dress up and be somewhere at 7:30 in the morning in 2 weeks! yuck.

I miss Chicago. I found out today that there is only one place that sells Kate Spade in Wisconsin. People here haven't even heard of Seven jeans... I think I'm going to have to take a trip to the J.Crew outlet sometime. I don't know if I can survive shopping in Madison. There is NOTHING here to buy! I wonder how these stores survive...

I won't go into what the last few days have been like or what the first day of work was like. VERY surreal. I've now talked to TWO people though at my company. Woo hoo! and I met my Team Leader. She seemed nice and so did the two new people that I met.

All right, I am POOPED yet again. Happily, tomorrow we don't start until 8:30! yay!

I'm not really sure what to post. I'm happy to be in Madison though, but it's so surreal. It's weird to not be around family right now too. But then again, my parents would probably want me to be focusing on work and getting ready for med school apps. *sigh*

I don't have much to post. I've finally put away all my clothes and almost all of the boxes. My living room is now box-free. It's kind of exciting. I still need another floor lamp though, but I'm getting used to being in the dark at night. It gets so dark here but the nice thing is, when I'm lying in bed and looking up at the skylight, I can see stars. It's kind of cool.

The weather today is beautiful. It feels like fall, which I suppose isn't surprising since summer is nearly over. I hope it's pretty here in the fall. Maybe I'll go to the UW Arboretum when the leaves have started to change colors. It'll probably be really pretty. I wonder if I can find someone to go visit with me... hmmm....

I don't think it's hit me yet either that I've graduated, even though I have pictures from graduation around my apartment. I actually don't have much around my apartment. LOTS of shelf space and actually closet space left. Maybe I'll bring more up here after Thanksgiving.

Okay, I said I was going to clean today and I guess I should begin. Tomorrow there's a Law & Order Marathon on TNT. I don't think there's a better I could spend my last day as unemployed....
