さてこれから準夜勤。頑張ろうかね、と思ったその先で…　「あの患者が肺炎になったのはとろみどりのせいだ。」と、問題児女医さんが言ってたと同僚から聞かされた。

ちくり。
はいはい。
好き勝手言えばいい。

不愉快に仕事開始。何の因果か、本日の当直医はその女医。それも緊急入院来て、いっぱい顔を合わす羽目になった。しかしこれから、自分の身は自分で守らなきゃ。

Over the last two days, I have gotten 9 hours of sleep. We had a baseball game, and after conditioning for baseball. I dont know why, but for a day where I should be at my weakest, I was at my strongest! I really pushed myself on the mile run, and lifted a lot heavier than I usually do! I cant really explain it, but somehow I did it.

今日はお休み。怒涛の夜勤クール後の貴重な一日休み。いっぱい息抜き、思いっきりリフレッシュしよう。ダイヤモンドシティをブラブラ。かわいいストールとカチューシャをゲットです。わーい、うれしい。

さて、今日もサークル頑張りましょうか♪　サークル行くのはやっぱ楽しくて、すごくいい息抜きになっています。ライブのプレッシャーもあるけど、みんなでガンバロ〜〜〜　にしても。あと本番まで2回しか練習日がない。課題はまだまだ山積みだぞ〜自己練ガンバロ、ということで本日の練習も終了。

その後は、メンバー4人でご飯食べに行ってきました。とまとらーめんが超美味しいらしい。どんなんやろ？？　真っ赤なスープが一見とうがらしを思わせるけど、このスープ、まさにトマトだぁ。初めての味でおいしい！！　また行こうっと☆

店内で4人でカワイイ（？）恋バナで盛り上がりました。メンバーの女の子が初々しくて、かわいいなぁ。その隣で偉そうに返す自分、すれたな〜（笑）人のことやから偉そうに言えるんですがね（苦笑）

Today’s economy is slowing down, so must be much more on point then usual.  Managers are watching us very closely, to ensure quality of service is not lost.  Tips maybe smaller but quality will not be lost.  They will ensure that we preserve our reputation.  I hope that the economy will bounce back right away our livelihood depends on it.  Recently I made some great friends from Japan in the restaurant.  That’s one the best things about working in the restaurant, you meet new people daily and you can network so that one day you can find something better.  I made many new friends this week hopefully they will remember me when they come back to Hawaii.

毎日何かしらありました。
お疲れ様でした。
看護師の仕事は、重たいね。
身にしみました。

もう一踏ん張りして、委員会の仕事仕上げて、ようやく提出。
病棟会議にはぎりぎり間に合って、よかった。（もっと早く提出しろって感じでしたが…）

ちょっと休みます。 そして、きりかえ。

Thank you Yoko, for the comment and welcoming me back. The one experience that stood out to me the most was the riots in Seoul. While I have lived in big cities before, like Barcelona, Osaka and even visited Tokyo. I have never experienced rioting before. It was a major reason for my return, while no Americans were hurt and the protest against US beef imports was directed more towards their current administrations decisions. It was still an unnerving experience. I was caught off guard when I entered the City Hall area as it was completely surrounded by waves and waves of police in riot gear. The man on the microphone was shouting something in Korean that I could not understand; yet I could understand he was angry. I had never heard someone so upset before, it actually made me upset. Currently I am taking ‘Anthropology of the City’ course at HPU and I hope this helps me to understand more of what I was feeling and how to handle such situations, as I want to get into public diplomacy. I hope to return to Seoul next year for the Harvard Project for International Relations(HPAIR), this time a little more mentally prepared for such extreme situations.

人のいのちの強さを知る時がたくさんある。
今日は…反対。
人が尽きるのってあっという間だ。
あっという間。

私はどうすべきだったのかな。
何かが違えば助かったのかな。
終わってからいろいろ考えるね。

急すぎて。
家族の顔が見られず。
家族の泣き声が耳に残ります。

My girlfriend recently went back to Japan so I have been using skype for my calls.  Last night was the first time I have ever used this program.  I must say it’s pretty amazing!  I think it’s 10 times better than a regular home phone, you have much more options during the call.  Not only do you have almost a face to face meeting but you can talk and type any message you want with no charge.  So far it’s working without a problem.  I think that if they allow a home number to use, I will cancel my home phone service and use the skype phone.  I have seen on their website that they have cell phone version which I am thinking about getting, but it seems to be only for the europeon countries.  If this is available I would suggest this to anyone reading this.  All you need is a wifi conection!  I wonder though if the wifi cards that they have like verizon and at&t if you could plug that into the forementioned phone why not just cancel your cell phone.  All calls would be free.  This something I will ponder, for those of you reading this if you have any information that could help this would be greatly appreciated.

もうすぐ終わっちゃうじゃん！！
本当に就職してからの時間の経過は早い。
うっかり者ですが、ホントにうっかりしてたら、
その内一気に、しわしわのおばあちゃんになってるんじゃないかな。

１０月は逃げ腰で、最後バタバタになっちゃったから…
１１月は計画性を持って動くことを心掛けよう。

I feel that my mom is a little too controlling. While my friends parents let us get together, my mom is always hard to ask. Someitme i migh tnot be able to go to a get together just because she doesnt want me to. If there was a reason I understand, but she does things just because she can. Its gone past a point of annoyance to ridiculous.
