More randomness

I think I finally impressed my preceptor (the doctor I'm working under) enough that she's no longer treating me like I'm a total idiot.

The shower in this apartment could double as a car wash. You know how when you drive through car washes and you're in your car and you swear the pressure from the water could very well flip your car over? I think this shower could do that. I usually love to shower, but this one, I swear it knocks the wind out of me, besides the fact that there's no circulation in that room, it becomes a sauna... so I take very quick showers and subsequently rush into the other room so I can breathe. I think God is teaching me to conserve water...

As of today, nobody can worry about me working out alone outside anymore. I got road safety stuff. I got an ID thing that attaches via velcro to my shoe that states my name, home town, and 3 emergency contact numbers. And because it's velcro, it can be transfered between shoes (e.g. running shoes, hiking boots, cycling shoes)... it's a good deal for people like me who can't just afford to buy 3 of them. I also got glow in the dark reflective shoe laces. AND, last but surely not least, a flashing green light that clips to your waistband that can been seen for a whole mile and one battery lasts 250 hours. How cool. :)

I found a second reason to like New Jersey (even though there's many more reasons not to...). Number one was that it is my gateway to the ocean. Number two is that currently gas in Philly is $2.29 and it's self-serve. It is illegal to pump your own gas in New Jersey (soemthing about supplying jobs for it's residents) and gas is only $1.97. And someone else pumps it for you, you don't have to get out of your car. Two points for New Jersey.
