Day five away from home.
The difference between these ports and my accustomed city life is already evident as I wander through the streets in search of a ship. What I will make as a ship's surgeon is a pittance compared to what I could do here under my family's name but some air needs cleaning before I will consider seeing some of them again. If my father were still alive, it would be different, but the decadence that has been running loose within the rest of my elders- I am remiss and should say nothing but it prickles my sense of right to see such dishonorable habits taken up by the people who I associate with.
Also, my studies have taken a rather radical turn which requires exploring if I am ever going to come up with a distinguished medical thesis on the use of certain drugs in healing. Experimentation is sadly a necessity and it will be easier to conduct the more questionable bits outside of the eyes of society. If these distasteful things must be seen to, better to bear it alone. It feels like a long time since I was in a school for the mere joy of learning rather than the urgency to be of some use to humanity through careful study.
Haste is being done to find transportation from here. I have the needs of a quality ship with an honorable captain who will look kindly on any stray passengers I will require to continue my work. Hopefully this will be within the week as while I do not believe I will be sorely missed, I have taken quite a few mementos from home to see the raising of several brows. They will have to make due as I believe they are only part of that which is owed to me. My mother and sister have both agreed and have taken shelter with Grandfather during this time. It is only correct and I will do my best to write constantly to let them know of my whereabouts and continued health.
