I feel my creativity has all but run dry recently. I have had the energy sucked out of me by keeping it up for everyone around me. I think it's part of being a medical student. I can easily put on the face at the hospital. That's not to say that I don't love what I do. I just find that all of my energies go into being the best I can at the hospital. I just feel like when I'm done with the day, I have little energy for anything else. I wish there was a way to have more energy.
I also feel like I need to write more. I need to do more creative writing. I miss it. I've decided I'm going to start writing stories about my new pet. His name is nugget, and he is a monkey. He's actually a stuffed animal, but I think it would be fun to come up with adventures for this new little guy. He is precious and I'm sure quite mischievous. Right now, though, he is a little subdued. He's trying to get used to his new house. He says that the store where my cousin found him was horrid! He had to sit on a shelf with little food and it would get so cold and dark at night! He is very glad to be here, and has found a favorite spot to sit:
He is still working on getting used to Chewy. He finds that Chewy reminds him a bit of a lion. I keep telling him that Chewy won't eat him and probably doesn't care about him at all, but Nugget doesn't quite believe me yet. I'm sure he'll get used to Chewy, but for now, he much prefers sticking as close to me as possible :) Needless to say, I'm sure he'll have plenty of fun adventures in the new year for me to write about and allow me to use my creative writing minor for something other than a conversation piece.
