Dr's Office

Maybe I'm a little spoiled after being in the military for a few years, but does an appointment at a civilian doctor office always take over an hour just for me to be taken to the second little waiting room where you're all alone? This is pretty ridiculous. I don't want my blog to become some sort of ranting area, but is this a normal thing? Please leave a comment after reading so I'll know whether or not it's just me.

Here are the facts: I'm a new patient here for a basic physical checkup to make sure I'm healthy. They told me to arrive at 11:30, which I did. I filled out their paperwork and have now been waiting for an hour after finishing the paperwork. There have been other patients who have come in and are also waiting. No one has come in after me and been seen yet. So, everyone here is just waiting. That is a relief to me because I would be a little upset if people were coming in after and being seen before myself.

Anyway, I'm here, just waiting and waiting and waiting. I guess I could do something a little more productive than just typing out a rant, but this gets my mind working. So, then I can move on to writing some more of my book.

Besides the book, I've been trying to figure out where my life is headed after I finish my undergraduate degree next semester. There are so many possibilities that I hate to say that I'm not going to be doing something. When I met Starr that I told her I would never go back to school. It's funny to think of now, because she really wanted me to finish my degree. Now that I am finishing up, I'm wondering what kind of job and/or further education I should get. I guess that's another thing that I can do productively until I get called back into the doctor's area.

Wasting time

So, I have two and a half hour lunch break today as a substitute. It's cool, but boring too. Over the past few weeks I've decided to slightly change the direction that I'm heading. It's not a huge difference though, and I'll actually get to my goal sooner this way.

On one of my jobs a couple weeks ago I met a lady who helps work with Metro Nashville school children for better ways to learn. I'm probably going to be working with her to create an Android app for students. We're going to use my ability to program combined with her knowledge of what students need in order to make something great. I think we'll be able to introduce it to Metro schools to see if they want to purchase it. That would be great for everybody. But, even if they don't for whatever reason, it'll be a good resource to put on the market and a way for me to do something worthwhile. With the new program I'm starting next semester, so I can finally get my bachelor's degree, this will be a great semester project. I'll probably try to enlist some of my programmer friends to test it out and give feedback. Thanks in advance for that.

I've also started writing again. Most of you probably have no idea that I've written before, but now you do. I have a couple ideas that I think will make a decent story. I'll need help from a couple of my friends who enjoy reading and are capable of constructive criticism. I know my wife, my sister, and Anthony Davis falls into this category. We'll see about any others.

We'll, I'm about to have another class come in a few minutes. Hope you enjoyed the read. I'll be sure to post more often in case any of you actually enjoy reading about my thoughts :)
