Early Monday morning and its one week down. The lazily comfortable weekend will be counteracted in a few hours with the return of all the docs, resident students, and various weekday groups. I’m looking forward to it though. It’s a good balance. The last 2 days were just enough down time and now I’m ready to get back into the swing of things. Rumor has it that we will be getting a new patient today as well but we wont know for sure until it actually happens. With the entering of someone new though there is and underlying sadness because it means a bed is opening up and someone else is leaving. This time its Sofie.

I don’t know how else to describe Sofie other than that she is a true free spirit is many many ways. Virtually the opposite of me in social aspects she is a boisterous, enigmatic, outgoingly hilarious actress who lives here in New York. I couldn’t be more happy that this, although short, amount of time here overlapped for us. I have the feeling, and her words to back it up, that we wont be seeing the last of each other once she steps through those doors on her way home today. Especially, if nothing else, she has promised that she’ll be around if I want company on one of my many upcoming passes to go out into the city. She’ll be one of the only people I know that lives around here when my time to explore rolls around so I’m definitely looking forward to accepting that olive branch.
