trek to public health
today was my first day at school to handle all my "stuff." i met with the nurse who, when i handed her my immunization papers said, "what is this, this is nothing, you have nothing." i wasn't going to argue. she was still nice though, felt sorry for me i think. she ordered me to the "nice" indoor cafeteria to relax, so that i could fill out one million forms, verifying that i had my vaccinations. i rebelled by sitting in the lobby. and i can't believe this. is this what public health is all about? i can't get too upset with her though, when i was walking around the medical campus, people were sick with all kinds of stuff. there was spit up lung butter all over the streets, amputees with gangrene and the air was filled with the smell of hot dogs, philly cheese steaks, gyros and roasted nuts. it was all so confusing. how can it smell so good, yet everything all around is so bad? it reminds me of new delhi, india. nyc has to be the only place in the US, that is similar to other metro centers in the world. candyland existing side by side with reality.
while waiting at the student health services, i met a fellow student, she was very cool. i heard that half the public health students did not get housing and are couch surfing. we are sooo lucky. the anxiety is slowly easing its way out of my system. i have a physical on monday, with a man. i am NOT looking forward to that.
in the subway today, i met another creature, a subway pigeon. it was scruffy, dirty and feasting on poop and rotting gyros. i nearly vomited. i looked into its eyes, to connect with it, to learn more. i think it had a cataract. are there any services in this city for their population? there are just so many of them being ignored...
the apt is shaping up and should be ready for public exhibition in a few days. our first house guest arrives on the 12th and we are so excited to fill our house with people. i miss that about our old place-we always had great people at our house all the time, and now its just the two of us. kinda lonely in the big city.
we are off to NJ, to see my parents. my mother's parents are coming tomorrow to visit, they will be here for a month. i can't wait to see them. rahul has always wanted to create a cookbook of my grandmother's recipies. this could be the perfect time. she loves, i mean loves the rahooli. its nice to watch them bond in the kitchen.
in gossip news, i set up some friends in seattle, i wonder if it will work out. its one of the best matches i think i have come up with. here's hoping for a love connection.

lung butter? that is gross. hmmm. i seemed to have created a blog trying to post here.
just wanted to say that i read your last two posts. but the best part of Little A's blog is the inane posts from earl the home water filtration man, or melloman and his picture frame site. what is up with these people?
why can't i comment on your current post? did you take that feature off? tired of earl and melloman already?
i wanted to share that i had my pap today too! apparently the provider did everything right...everything that your man didn't do...the office just failed to bill my insurance. ggrrrr. said that i needed a referral when i knew that i didn't.
do you know who this is? you should, you gave me this name.
