Known Knowns

Good lord. I haven’t posted this few times since…I don’t know, probably since I started blogging. It’s just that the distinction between school and life is becoming less and less clear, no matter how hard I try to keep them separate. It seems that this semester, I have less and less time to think about things other than school, which is funny because I thought things were going to let up once I was done with pharmacology and pathophysiology. Instead, the clinical work is getting more and more detailed. Someday, I may end up merging my blogs, but I really do think that knownknowns.org helps me keep some perspective that isn’t totally based in nursing. I value that a lot.

The sad thing is, I don’t have a lot to say, unless you want to hear about my OB rotation, which is boring as hell. It’s not all bad, it’s just that floppy vaginas aren’t really my thing, and I like sick patients, not healthy ones.

I’ve been paying some attention to the election, although I didn’t get to participate on Super Tuesday for the previously  mentioned reasons. I have to say that I think the democrats would be making a huge mistake to put Hillary up as the candidate, given her incredibly divisive nature, and her propensity to cry on command if it means someone will vote for her. I also have to say that although I hate, hate, hate John McCain’s love of the Bush administration, I would seriously consider jumping ship if it meant I didn’t have to vote for Hillary.

I. Will. Not. Vote. For. Hillary.

I also dislike John McCain’s policy on the war, but the bottom line is, for me this election is all about finding someone who is honest (a total U-turn from what we have now.) I will likely never find a candidate that matches my ideals in every way, so honesty is my compromise. I don’t believe that John McCain is a liar, nor do I believe that  Barack Obama is a liar, although I think he has more potential than John McCain to end up there. I fully believe that Hillary Clinton is typical politician: scheming, conniving,  and a liar. And for once, we need someone to tell us the truth, whether we want to hear it or not.
I still wish Joe Biden was running, though. Or John Edwards. Wah.
