Uhhhhh can I buy this as a set with instructions?

[kokorodaki-deactivated20190609]

It’d probably cost you like $700

“My husband and I sold everything we had to afford the journey. We worked 15 hours a day in Turkey until we had enough money to leave. The smuggler put 152 of us on a boat. Once we saw the boat, many of us wanted to go back, but he told us that anyone who turned back would not get a refund. We had no choice. Both the lower compartment and the deck were filled with people. Waves began to come into the boat so the captain told everyone to throw their baggage into the sea. In the ocean we hit a rock, but the captain told us not to worry. Water began to come into the boat, but again he told us not to worry. We were in the lower compartment and it began to fill with water. It was too tight to move. Everyone began to scream. We were the last ones to get out alive. My husband pulled me out of the window. In the ocean, he took off his life jacket and gave it to a woman. We swam for as long as possible. After several hours he told me he that he was too tired to swim and that he was going to float on his back and rest. It was so dark we could not see. The waves were high. I could hear him calling me but he got further and further away. Eventually a boat found me. They never found my husband.” (Kos, Greece)

I AM SO SORRY I HAVE BEEN MIA.

-I have two exams this week. As soon as this week starts, the semester is essentially over. 

-I am currently doing a pediatric rotation in a FUCKING FANTASTIC hospital in the middle of a city. It’s spectacular. I MUST find work here.  The population that one sees in these types of hospital is astounding. The diversity is overwhelming. I LOVE IT.

-Future pediatric cicu nurse?!?!?! LET’S FUCKING HOPE SO. (ugh man, i do love my geriatrics tho....)

-I’m honestly open to being a medical icu. Kidneys and livers and still fucking cool.

-Okay, I don’t even think I have ranted about my decisions to only apply to critical care units. BUT this little tiny baby nurse knows she has the brains to be one. HOWEVER, her confidence is literally in the trash. So many days I just wanna cry, as my anxiety crushes me into a deep dark hole. 

-I still need to work on my resume, so when the times come (t minus like ~3 months?!?!?!?!?!?) I can get a KICK ASS JOB, with a kick ass new grad residency program.

-honesty hour: I have barely had ANY exposure to higher acuity nursing, but honestly, this is what I want to do. This is fucking it. 

-I’ve had wonderful professors that have truly made me feel empowered to actually dream of taking this risk. And I’m going to run all the way home with it.

when you eat dead plants and animals their molecules are rearranged to make up your body. when you die and decompose, the materials will be used by protists and bacteria and then become parts of plants that are then eaten by other animals. the atoms in your body are reused by other organisms. you have your ancestors inside of you. you have dinosaurs and slaves and slave holders and murderers and saints and everyone making up your body. no one knows what will happen to your consciousness, but the matter that makes up your body will be recycled and reused in the bodies of other organisms.

.....SO REUSE AND RECYCLE PEOPLE. STAY GREEN FOREVER.

I’ve been especially nostalgic this past semester...

On Tuesday, I will start my last “first day the semester” of my undergrad. It just....it just feels strange almost surreal.
