you never know who might pass you on the street

i won't bore you with the details of my first two weeks of nursing school, mainly because it has been such a blur that i'm not even exactly sure what has happened. all i can remember at this point is that i've squeezed the heck out of brett's arm, taking his blood pressure more times than what probably is healthy and i had my chest examined by one of my male collegues. yeah, THAT was fun...and awkward.

but there is one event that clearly stands out in my mind and i would like to share it. it's one of those "God moments" that you just can't keep to yourself. it happened today, just after finishing my 7 (long) hours of class. i park about a mile away from my building and on my way back to my car I was trying to give myself a pep talk to mask my exhaustion. that's when i felt a light brush against my arm. my first thought was that someone from my class was trying to pull me back to watch yet another video on health assessment. my second thought was that it was a passing runner who was trying to rub all of his energy in my face, but instead it was a man on a unicycle.

that man gave me reason to go on. thank you unicycle man, wherever you are. keep peddling. -sn
