Home oh Sweet Home

So Friday I finished my last final. And I feel like I passed Anatomy. I don't want to get my hopes up or anything, but I'm feeling pretty good about it.

Right after I finished writing I hit the road running, and was back in saskatoon by five. No one was home though haha so I went around and did the secret santa draw.

Met Johnny and Josh Nargang at Winstons for a drink which was wonderful, I missed everyone to death. Then James, Sean, Chris Hilish, and Thomas showed up and it soon became clear to me that I was getting drunk when I found 40 bucks on the floor. It was a sign!

So we went to Scratch where the first person I see is my cousin Jon. Did a shot with him while he questioned why I was at the bar with six guys, none of whom were Cortlin haha. He was funny.

We danced, we drank, we all had a wonderful time. Then I went home.

Got to sleeparound four, and for some God awful reason I was up at seven, checking SIAST to see if my Anatomy mark was posted. Of course it wasn't, its only the only grade I care about. Everything else I kicked ass in.

Oh, and I found out that I'll be going to North Batleford next year! Yeah, it sucks. None of the options are good to be honest. But I'll be there with two of my friends from class, Kristin and Kayla, so we'll live together.

Sat morning I went Christmas shopping with Johnny. I didn't get alot done cause I have no idea what to get anyone. But I got like two people done so that's a start at least. We went to this board game store and I found that crocodile dentist game from when we were kids. You know, where you push down his teeth one by one until he bites you? Haha, my mom squealed like a school girl when we played it later haha.

Went home, had a bologna sandwich :) then mom wanted company on her outtings so I went out once again. Got a couple more Christmas presents, and ran into like three people from high school.

Then I took a little nap until Kat came over to pick me up to got catch up. She was in my house for literally three minutes, and when we went out, her car had been egegd twice.
Jokes on them though, cause we got it all on camera. Bam. Now....just gotta wait for Bob to get home so we can look at it haha cause neither mom or I know how to work this new receiver.
So I drove, and we went to Flint. I miss Kat, I don't see her nearly enough. So we caught up until about eleven then went back to the house only to find that her car got egged two more times. So we laughed our asses off, took some pictures.

And today I got up at seven again. What the hell man.

So I think I'm gonna hit broadway and look for more xmas gifts, then decorate cookies with Kat, then go visit my inlaws, then go to my cousins piano recital.
Busy ass day

D-Day

Tomorrow is the day....
the day it is all decided....
where fate will determine....
if I jump off the SIAST roof or not...

Anatomy...

I will defeat you

All this hard work had better pay off

This past week was a busy one. Had all my final projects, plus my anatomy test which owned me. Then on Thursday I made the big move to my new place. OMG i love it, the two girls I live with are amazing, the house is nice and clean, and it's quiet so I can actually study.

Friday was interesting. I went out to Kristin's birthday at about 730, and I had barely walked in the door when Erin (new roommate) txt me saying I should come home and chill with them. I say that I want to stay for a little bit but i'll come home soon because I didn't really know anyone at this party plus I just wanted to study.
Erin keeps texting me, saying its important and I need to come home. I was kinda wondering wtf was happening that it was so important.
So I go back, walk in the door, and there is Cortlin sitting on the couch, goofy grin on his face. Not gonna lie, after this past week of stress, the surprise of seeing him was wonderful. I was pretty happy.

So the weekend was overall pretty chill, I studied alot while Cortlin either slept or played my roommates xbox. We hun gout with his cousin for a bit, and went to my class xmas party for about two hours last night. It was good though. But now I am in study mode, gonna go hard for the next week.

I found out on Friday that if I don't pass anatomy, they will only allow me to take two of the five classes I'm scheduled for next term, plus I won't be able to do clinical come May. So, least to say I spent the majority of Friday morning crying and freaking out. I have a meeting with my teacher tomorrow to see what my chances are. I did the math, and if I can get a 60 on the final I should be fine, which sounds attainable but fuck am i scared. If I hadn't have spent the last weekend in and out of the hospital I'd probably be in a totally different position with my last exam.
Ugh, the stress.

Back to the books.

See you all in five more sleeps!

Stress is the Theme...

This week has been uber ugh. Just can't wait for it to be the 9th so I can go home and do jack shit for a whole month!

This week has been hard in alot of ways. I had (apparently) some fluid retention in my knee over the past week or so that was, I swear to God, unbearable. Ask Kayla, I was constantly pissed or crying. So I spent the weekend trying to figure that out, and in the end even they were uber confused. So I'm on some heavy drugs and I think they may be doing the trick (fingers crossed)

I went and picked up my house key from my new roommate :D I move in on Thursday! I am beyond excited. This house im currently at is spiraling into a landfil. Dog poo smeared on the floor, dishes piled high, oh, and the dog had puppies too. NICE.

I got to have supper with my mom who was in town last night. We went to Michi cause their sushi is just grand. oh so grand. And today Bob was in town, so I had lunch with him. So lots of good visitors haha.

I did killer on my essay on client sexuality though, 87. Bam, so happy about that. The anatomy test I just wrote today may kill that joy though

Schedule for the next week or so consists of:
Wed: 101 presentation
Thurs: Client presentation
Friday: Kristin's birthday
Saturday: Xmas party/STUDY
Sunday:STUDY
Monday: 102 final
Tuesday: Micro 160 final
Wednesday: Micro 161 final
Thursday: Anatomy review
Friday: Antomy final/lab final
THEN HOME

It's gonna be one of those things...

I Remember you said...

This weekend was overall very good.

Friday I bused back to S'toon because the road conditions were apparently shit. But of course as soon as we hit the highway everything was just freaking clear and fine. So I felt like a derp, but I did get some homework done so that was good.

Got in, shower at the most awkward angle thanks to the new tattoo. Then I went to Avocados for supper with a couple of my all time favorite people, James and Sam :) Sam dyed her hair dark brown for the winter! That with her black leather jacket made her into a crazy bombshell people, dangerous. Hot hot hot.

After supper Sam and I went over to Ambers to pre-drink while the bros went and hung out. Once Hailey showed up we went to Outlaws to party it up. Man, not gonna lie, I always have a good time with the girls at Outlaws. Plus I always see my old boss' son Brandon which is awesome haha. He can country dance like no ones business.

Saturday I woke up way earlier then I thought I ever would considering I apparently didn't go to sleep until five according to my mother. So I called Cortlin and woke him up, how nice am I. He came back to town after his first week of work out at Spectra. So he picked me up and we went to his house and made hashbrowns and bacon. Nommers.

Chilled unil 6 ish when Brittney came and got me to be the moral support while she got her first tattoo! Yay! It was sweet watching it be done actually. And man, what a champion, Britt didn't wince at all, just the stone face of a champion. After we went and grabbed a quick tea then she took me back to Cortlin's so we could catch a movie.

Went and saw the new Harold and Kumar. It was ok, not really my kind of humor though.

After that we went and chilled at Johnny's for about an hour with Dave and Boots. I enjoyed it :) but my eyes were drooping so we decided to peace. Made a U-turn by Johnny's to go back down 8th street....totally got pulled over by the popo. But he just gave us a warning for the "illegal" u-turn. I hate u-turn rules. They are dumb.

Sunday Cortlin had to take off early so I went home to spend some lovely time with my mother. She found out about my tattoo by stupid silly ways so I showed her. Which I was always going to, I just had wanted it to heal up first so it didn't look all fuzzy and new. Her initial reaction was that of utter sadness and dissapointment. But after she read it a few times and accepted the meaning behind it, I think she liked it? As much as any mother can like a tattoo anyway :-p

Caught a quick lunch with my dad at Fuddruckers. If you don't love that place, then I just can't be friends with you. Its amazing. End of story

Went home, made cupcakes for the bake sale I organized for the class at school. Then I hopped on a bus and went back to Regina! Thank God Shannon was on that bus too, otherwise the boredom would have gotten me.

Monday was...oh yeah, had a test.
Lame
Tuesday was the bakesale :) raised 150$ and we still have more then half the baking left! Today's the last day but I have a feeling we are going ot have a ton of left overs :(

Oh, and tattoo update. It's already at the peeling stage. And this time I got a new bonus....it itches. Like. Fucking. Mad. You know that satisfying feeling you get after scratching a mosquito bite?
I want that
I would kill for that
Alas, I don't want to ruin it. So I shall endure.

Inked

So I ended up getting my second tattoo today. Not only that, but I overcame my fear of needles!!! yay!! I didn't pass out haha. Props to me.
It was 45 minutes of pain though. Yes, I'm a baby. But even though it was on my lower back,, anytime she got close to the spine or rib I wanted to roll off the table haha.

I'm happy with it though.
Just eager for the swelling to go down

Home tomorrow!

Long ass day

Tuesday in anatomy I got to dissect a pig heart, it was so dope. The heart is super sweet I promise. So much detail, and the muscles are hella strong, like I tried to rip it apart cause I'm weird and I couldn't.
I skipped the afternoon like a total champion, got some homework done. But mostly I did nothing, as per usual.

Yesterday was the longest day ever. We had our essay presentations. I wanted so badly to just do mine and get it over with, but we only do four a week so I didn't get to go :( tres sad.
The afternoon was stressful as hell. We had Micro testing, where we had two time slots where we had to go in and show the teachers our catheter and simple dressing skills. It was pass or fail. Here I thought catheters would be crazy hard, but I passed that easy. But then I waited an hour and a half to do my simple dressing, which way too many people were failing. So I was crazy nervous. But I passed, bam. I bet it was because I was sickly sweet and polite when I came in. ALL SMILES.

But yes, today is Wed and I am getting ready for my high fidelity lab. Thats the one where they program the mannequins, and they move and talk and react to whatever you do to them haha. So I'm pretty pumped.

And this afternoon I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be impulsive and get my tattoo that represents my sister :) I called around and one place is taking walk ins, so hmmmm

I'm coming home this weekend bitches
Lets dance.

For the Man of my Dreams

So by special request of Joshua I will update my blog. It's been far overdue anyway!

My last blog was about my epic failure in my last anatomy exam...so what has happened since then...

Did I even talk about my near death experience yet? I was driving back to Regina last weekend, and just outside of Chamberlain I lost control. I don't even remember the moments before it happened. All of a sudden I was just spinning. My first thought was "I should let go of the wheel...let Jesus take it like in that song". Thankfully I didnt haha. Managed to get out of the spins and into some fun fishtails. And by some miracle I stayed on the road and not in the ditch. So I sat there and shock like a leaf for a while, then just kept on going. The rest of the trip was horrible. The roads were slick and no one was doing more then 50, me included. I was not impressed.

Last week was a blur. There's been more drama in the house of course. Kylee ran out of money, shock surprise, and so she's crawling back to get what she needs then fucks off again. So thats been up and down and all over the place. Two more weeks until I move, thank our Lord and savior.

Thursday's clinical was good. I'm growing super fond of my client :) she's just the sweetest thing on this planet. Learning lots too, although no one seems to want to listen to my stories about the stuff I have to do haha. Apparently it's "gross"
lame

After clinical I showered quickly then drove home to Saskatoon :)
I miss home, just being back in the city and having things be familiar is wonderful. I can't wait for December.

That night was Cortlin's farewell among the friends at Bugsys. It was fun, nice and chill. I was craving the wings for weeks until I actually ate them haha. Just not that great anymore.
Around nine Cortlin, Kayla and I went to the airport to pick up my mom who was flying in from Arizona. She didn't know that Kayla had made the trip to town so she was pretty thrilled to see her. Until she found out that Kayla had drove on her own haha then the worry kicked in.

Friday morning Kayla and I went out and about for a bit, didn't accomplish anything though haha. Then I met the love of my life Brittney for coffee :D it was grand. Lots of laughs were had by all haha.
Friday night was my uncle's 50th birthday and they wanted me and my sister and cousins to bartend. Cortlin came as well which was good. I had alot of fun, there was a ton of people there and it was catered by some place that only does appetizers. I freaking love finger food. To death.

Saturday morning I didn't do too much. Hung around, then went and made an artichoke dip for Cortlin's family going away dinner. That started around six. Matt and Boots came as well which was nice, and the Germans and Hendriks. I miss those guys lol. Played lots of catch phrase, drank lots of terrible martinis. It was grand.
Best part was that I was allowed to sleep over on account of it being Cortlin's last night. SO we watched the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows prt 2 haha. Best. Time. Ever.

If anyone is not yet aware, Cortlin got a job in Burstal, just outside of Medicine Hat. Which sucks. I'm happy that he found a job, but I decided I accept my selfish feelings that this is a terrible occurrence as I am a total pessimist and expect the worst for us. But with constant reassurance that everything will work out I am trying to cope with it.

So Sunday was a little tearful for me, which Corltin just laughed at. Nice guy lol.

drove back to Regina with Paige, who is in my class. It was fun, really fun. I like having someone to talk to on the oh so boring drive.

And now it is Monday and my classes ended at about 12:30 so I now have the afternoon to work on my essay presentation. Mother is coming to Regina for the next couple of days for work so I'm excited to show her the conditions I currently live in and then my new place.

OH
So...this morning I go to take a shower. I have body wash, conditioner and shampoo that I cluster together and then stick my loofah on top of so that it drys. So I go into the bathroom today and my loofah is on the window sill...and its moist. I haven't been home all weekend....fuck off, someone used my god damn fucking loofah. SO I inspect it, only to find a short black hair on it. I don't have fucking god damn short black hair.
So I made a very long, very threatening, unladylike note and stuck it in the bathroom.

I may still have to murder the whole house to make my point though.

Oh, and Joshua. For the Christmas thing this year, what do you think of this idea...instead of drawing names, should we just do a "everyone bring a 20-30 dollar gift" and we can do a exchange randomly? That way if people are gay and don't come, or can't come then we don't have to worry about fixing things. Plus I want a potluck. And if we do it on the 30th or later it can be at my house because my parents are gone.
TEXT ME

Shit on Anatomy

Yeah so my prediction was right, I failed my anatomy exam. Mother fucker. If this was like highschool I would have passed, but alas SIAST demands a 60 as a pass so I am SOL.
I did well enough on my first exam that it won't kill me, so long as I don't repeat my stupidity next exam haha. But still, like wtf man.

I hate the muscular system, its dumb. I hope my teacher pulls a muscle.
Just kidding, thats terrible, she's lovely.

I hope I pull a muscle, and then can identify which muscle I pulled, then she marvels at my brilliance then passes me.

Ugh.

HBD 2 me

It's already Wednesday? Ballin
The week seems shorter because Monday I didn't go to school lol. Decided to stay at the house and study for my anatomy exam all day. I've never studied so much in my life, it was kind of impressive if I do say so myself.
Took a break at 11 and went to Coda for the first time because Kristin recommended it a long time ago and Kayla says it was dope as well. Man, I hate them both. I want everything. Pretty sure I'm going to have to go back and buy a pair of moccasins as well as the big comfy looking sweater. So expensive though.
Then I studied more and eventually told Rob that I was moving out on Dec 1. He was not happy, pulled the "everyone is abandoning me" card, cause Kylee left him. So yeah, that was awkward. Even more awkward when the next day he was basically begging me to stay. I'm a tenant dude, not your friend or girlfriend. Leave me alone for fucks sake.

Tuesday morning started out with the dreaded anatomy exam. I'll be shocked if I pass.
The skeletal system is easy, but the muscular system just destroyed me :( Having to know all the muscles, what muscles they articulate with, and their antagonists is just too much to retain. But we shall see. Marks will be up sometime today I imagine.

Lunch time was when we had to do our wellness day presentations in the cafeteria. I'm just glad its over with. Getting peoples attention about healthy food when all they want to do is eat their fries is painfully hard haha.

But now its 5:11 a.m. and Happy Birthday to me and Kayla :)
22, jesus christ. I don't like saying that number, it feels weird on my tongue.

Almost Friday!

These are the Moments I Hold on to

Ugh this week went by too slow. I discovered that due to privacy issues I'm going to have to censor my blog when it comes to clients. Which is fine, I understand that. But I guess one guy in my class didn't take the censorship too seriously cause now he's in shit with everyone.

The week was ok though. I wish I had accomplished alot more, like my essay :(

I have an anatomy exam on Tuesday that I've barely studied for yet on the bone and muscle systems. And then an essay due on the 7th that I haven't even started. That for sure I need to get done this week. Because I know that when I go home to Stoon this weekend I won't do shit.

Cortlin came down to visit me this weekend :) Sometimes I get so wrapped up in school and stuff that I forget how much I miss him. This long distance isn't fun.
He went and bought me a 32 inch tv for my birthday, that bum haha. Def not the cheap and simple hug and a kiss I had asked for haha. But its sweet, I needed one desperately. Now I don't have to go downstairs at all unless I need to eat.

Friday night we went to go and see In Time, that new Justin Timberlake movie where everyone lives by a clock on their arm. I really liked it actually. It wasn't amazing or anything, but the concept was different.

Saturday morning I made breakfast and then went to the store and bought some Halloween candy. Then we sat on the couch and played Little Big Planet while eating candy. So by one I felt like shit and figured we should accomplish something, so we went to the mall and looked for birthday gifts for Kayla and Curtis. Found a book for Curtis on some hockey guy that Cortlin thought he would like.

Oh and I got this book called "Go the Fuck to Sleep" It's a 'childrens' bedtime story that has cute pictures and rhymes, but the last verse on every page is "go the fuck to sleep". Died laughing.

Then we just watched movies and played more little big planet and drank wine. It was a good time haha.

Now its Sunday and the panic is starting to set in, at the lack of studying I got done this weekend.
Le sigh

Can't wait for Friday! So I can come home!!!!!

I feel like I'm playing Dress-up

This morning was my first day at clinical at Wascana Rehab, its a long term care facility for veterans and physical rehab patients.
So I get up this morning, sure anxious and pumped to go. Have my coffee, get on my scrubs and head out the door....
...only to see that there are no cars parked on the street...
Including my car.

wtf

Dude, where's my car?
This actually came out of my mouth and would have been humorous had it not been for the familiar fuzzy feeling of threatening tears. This couldn't be happening...I just can't be late for my first day.

SO I called a taxi and told them to step on it. Then I called my mommy cause I'm a big baby. So the cab got me there on time thank God.
We did a tour of the building and were all shown our group areas. I'm on 3-3 which is nothing fancy or specific, just old people lol.
Then we got to meet our individual clients.

Rest of the day was all paperwork and more charts. Have to do an research assignment on her illnesses which should be interesting. And I need to google all her meds cause I have no idea what they are.

After that I went on an epic search for my car because apparently the reason my car got towed was because they were cleaning the streets and they just moved it somewhere in the neighborhood.
Eventually found it, with a 65 dollar ticket on the window. That's my second one in the part ten days. yyyaaaa.

Then I had Kayla and Hiro over for supper and Rob joined us as well. I like having everyone sit down at the table and eat. Its just great :)

Oh
And I got to watch Vampire Diaries.
I love it way way wwwaaayyy too much

Dirty SLuts and Midterms

I originally wrote this long, brutally honest, no feelings spared blog about whats been going on in my house these past few nights. Alas I just can't bring myself to post it for the cyberworld. So I'll make it short.
Kylee is a cheating whore who parades her man slut around the house like she expects me to be cool with it when Rob gets back.

Let's just say I'm not touching this situation with a ten foot pole.
But If Rob asks, I aint lyin either.

God fucking damnit.
Who wants to help me find a new place over Christmas? Cause thats whats happening.

In other news, my life has momentarily gotten less stressful in school as I finished midterms on Tuesday. Anatomy I did awesome, NRSG 102 I did ok, NRSG 101 I did ok, and I'm waiting on Microbiology.
But its weird to me, because in high school all the theory and hands on stuff I did super well at and I struggled in sciences. But now its the other way around? Like wtf is this.

Clinical starts tomorrow and I am nervous as hell. Iget to meet my old guy or girl! Gah, so so so nervous. Kinda excited though. My hands are gonna shake like crazy I know it haha.

Otherwise it's been pretty quiet here.
Just counting down the days until november when I'm home again

One of those Days

Ugh this week just needs to end already.

Talked about death in class all morning, which is always a mood raiser >_< not a dry eye in the room by the end of it all.

Starting to feel pretty insecure about some things too.
Just, ugh. I wanna sleep it all off and have someone else figure shit out for me.

Good news though, I don't have to get any shots
BAM
Apparently I've been up to date and never knew it?
Thanks grade seven Megan, way to take one for the team

Thank God Vampire Diaries in on tonight.
Don't judge me.

I always say I need to Blog more

Last week was a blur of happiness. Anatomy was pie. Presentation was postponed to November due to a power outage. And I got to skip friday to go home early.

The weekend was excellent. Thursday I got to see Marge and Curtis and the Germans :) Baby Konrad is ssssoooo cute. I want a baby. But just a loaner, for just a day haha.
Boots, Cortlin, Josh Nargang and I went bowling haha. Cause I guess thats fun. It was decent though. Everyone had to buy a bucket of beer, so by eleven I was pretty done.

Friday I spent with Kayla and mom. Went and checked out the new Sephora in the mall. Stood in line for 40 minutes just to get into the god damn place. Then I proved why women are dumb by spending more then 100 bucks on freaking makeup >_< good god WHY. I wish credit cards would look at what your buying and demand you think about it for three minutes.
My next purchase there is going to be Body by Burberry though. I love that perfume more then anything.

Friday night was Matts big day so we all went to Winstons to celebrate. I was a big gay and got all tired and scared of drinking/spending so Cortlin and I left early. Got Wingnuts. Don't you dare judge me, my gut judged me enough haha. It was pleasantly terrible.
Cortlin made me an omlette in the morning cause hes pretty sweet like that. I wish I could make omlettes as well as him. Mine always turn into scrambled eggs.

Oh God what else did I do Saturday.....

That night I did nothing lol. Hung out at Cortlins, watched shitty movies and went to sleep.

Sunday Kayla and I went out to my dad;s and brought him fancy Subway Thanksgiving dinner haha. Then that night was traditional dinner in Vonda with moms family.
Too much food was consumed this weekend.
Way too much.
And I'm ok with that.

Today I just went for lunch with Cortlin to Rocky Creek then had a chat with Bob about my student loans. Which he approved of. I don't know why this surprised me so much haha. So I'll get that sent in this week.

Kayla and I got back to Regina around seven and now I'm starting to realize what little I accomplished homework wise this weekend.
God damnit.

Don't Follow me Home

I accomplished pretty much nothing this weekend
Friday my car starter exploded so I had no car until Monday which cost me about $500 bucks to fix. YAY :( So in light of this I have decided that it would be in my best interest to accept the student loans that the gov't has offered me. I just can't afford to live right now to be honest haha.
I'm in trouble.

I found out that I can access all of Rob's media files on my computer so I've been watching Sons of Anarchy like no ones business. Honestly, that show is so amazing it hurts. Watch it.

Oh and Bob has been hunting all weekend and taking Rocky with him. Sunday Rocky went to go and get a duck and never came back. Bob looked for six hours and never found him :( and with Rocky being almost 12, deaf and half blind, it was bad. Mom was in tears because Rocky has been her house buddy when Bob is away for years. It sucked.
Monday Bob was out from 530 am to 530 pm loooking for him again. My mom and aunt decided to join the hunt and Jesus Christ they found him. He just came sauntering up to my mom like it was no big thing. Bugger probably had the greatest adventure.

Today is gonna be a hell of a day. First thing is my first Anatomy exam which Im sure will result in them kicking me out of the program haha.
Then at lunch we have to get into our small groups and present our Mental Health Wellness Day presentations to the entire student body. Whee

Ugh

But then its almost Thursday!

This week in a Nutshell

Hmm, what have I even accomplished so far this week...

Monday was all lecture all day. The Dean of Nursing came and brought us all cupcakes which is always a good way to make us love you :-p Then we had a lawyer come in and explain to us the whole legal process of having someone involuntarily admitted into the psych ward etc etc.
That afternoon this guy came in to teach us the basics of TLR, Transferring Lifting and Repositioning patients. The most I learned was that nurses see more violence in their career then a cop. Don't tell my mother!

Tuesday was a shotty day. Just in a terrible mood and nothing seemed to go right. One thing was that my 100 teacher comes up to my Wellness Day group and says that our presentation with the non alcoholic shooters won't work. I lost my shit. Why the hell did she tell us a week before it was due and we were already well into planning?!?! Why the fuck wouldn't she tell us ten days ago when we pitched the idea to her and she said it was great.
Asshat

Wednesday was a short day. Just had lecture on documentation and then watched a movie called the Weyburn Project. It was about the mental hospital in Weyburn Sask and just its super messed up history. Its a documentary, so I encourage you all to watch it.
Then only thing that I didn't like about it is that it was directed by a bunch of artists and such so it got a little over emotional at times.
Still, watch it, the history is super interesting.

This morning I have a five hour lab on the actual movements of TLR. So I imagine I'll be sore as hell from lifting and moving all morning.
Should be fun!

One more week until Turkey Weekend! Yay!

The Rumors about Psych Nurses are True

You know when people tell you that Psych Nurses know how to party? Well its all too true as I found out on thursday when we went for 5 dollar schooners at Houstens follwed by 1 draft night at...the Hub?...or the Page.
Anyway.
It was a terrible idea, and I'm pretty sure I made a wonderfully terrible drunk impression on everyone haha.
That's all I want to say about that night.
Never again.

Woke up Friday morning 20 minutes before class, wondering where the hell my cell phone was.
Rob drove me to school as my car was still at Houstens and I went to class just to sit and stare at the teacher for three hours but retain absolutely nothing.
Nothing.

Alanna was an angel and drove me to my car, then I went home and went to sleep. Before which I did find my phone. Huzah

Got up around 8 and finally showered.
Then Hiro, Kayla and I went to go and see Straw Dogs. If you dont like Alex Skarsgard (Eric from True Blood) then dont go, because you won't like it at all haha. The story was pretty weak.
But for those of you who are like me and love Alex more then anything, go see it. Cause he's mostly shirtless and glorious and dangerous and beautiful. Minus the part where he crazy rapes the chick....but someone still making it hot.
Sounds terrible, I know.
I'm twisted.

Stayed up until four watching the Lion King and talking to Johnny and Joshua on Skype. It was pretty awesome, not gonna lie :)

Saturday I did some job hunting around my area. Fingers crossed I get something because I will be broke by Halloween at this rate.
Then I slept again
Then I met up with Alanna and we cruised around town for a while
Then met Kayla for timbits because I have been craving them since December
Then continued sleeping

Today I got up at 10:30 then had coffee with dear Kylee as is becoming our tradition. Drove her to work then took Kayla and Hiro to the mall because Kayla wanted some Oxford boots which broke my heart because I want them haha.
Ran into Sarah Longpre who was in town for a hair show haha. She was quite shocked when she heard I was actually living in this dreadful place.

Went home after that and attempted some homework then met Kayla, Hiro and Keisuke at this Vietnamese place a couple blocks from my place. It was delicious. I was going to try pho for the first time but decided that I wanted to save that experience for when I'm back home lol.

Walked around my little neighborhood for a while which I am growing quite fond of. Even if crack heads peer into our windows at night as if they were moths attracted to a light >_<

Now I'm chillin and getting ready for class tomorrow.
Slay me, how is September already almost over. October November then I'm home for a month! Yay

Holy shit
Clinical starts in two weeks.

Two weeks until this blog gets wwwaaayyyy too interesting

Well this is Balls

So it is currently 3 in the morning and I have been awake for a couple of hours now and am unable to fall back asleep. So I figured that a blog update was in order.

Friday was hell, just as I had expected. A full day of Anatomy is no easy task my friends. By the last hour or so I actually began to wonder if this is where mental breakdowns came from. Too much information. Too much sitting. Too much everything. So I got all fidgety and twitchy and had to just close my book and wait for the end.

Once the end came I bolted, went back to the house, stared at my wall for a few minutes then decided to go home to Stoon for the weekend. Again. haha

Got home, said a quick hey to the rents then went to Cortlins for a chill night in. Matt, Boots and Johnny came over and we watched a documentary on the lead singer of Tool who started a vineyard in Arizona of all places. It was pretty interesting actually.
Then for some reason I decided that I wasn't going home and just slept over lol. Which I'm still not sure if I'm allowed to do at the Daniel household, but to be perfectly honest I'm sure its fine.

Went home in the morning for like an hour. Then took Cortlin shopping for a new shirt for his job interview in Medicine Hat on Tuesday. To my utter shock and astonishment he wanted a plaid button up shirt, which looked just awesome.

Then I did what all good students do and picked up Brittney to go have a study/coffee date haha. Changed things up and got coffee instead of tea, which I've been drinking way too much of since becoming a student.

Sat night we hung out at James' with the gang. Went and got pzones then went back to Cocos. Heard a crazy amount of noise coming from the neighbors garage and just had to go investigate. We walk in to streamers and strobe lights and the entire parental occupation on Pezer dressed in 70s garb and drunk as hell. It was awesome, everyone looked so good and was just hilarious. As I stood there watching the madness I couldn't help but tell Cortlin how they partied harder then any of us do. Must come with age I guess? But yeah, they were going hard until 4 am ppl.

Sunday I had brunch with my dad, then basically went back to Regina.

Monday was the day we did a lab on urinary and bowel elimination. Yes, thats exactly what you think it is. Bed pans, condom catheters, and everything else that relates to all that fun stuff. Probably going to be the least fav part of my job...but oh well...

Tuesday was anatomy, micro and the class about feelings (NRSG 100). In 100 we have to do a school wide presentation/info booth on mental health and such. So I came up with the brilliant idea of healthy body/healthy mind and am basically going to put all those shooter parties to practical use. Healthy shooters.
Bam.
Take that student body.

So now its 330 and of course someone in my house is awake and making noise.
Ugh

Today we do vital signs.
get to put that stupid $120 stethoscope to use

This is Unacceptable

Has it really been like 10 days since I posted a blog? Man, what the hell have I been doing with my life. Time to sort out my priorities man.

Hmm, so by looking off my last entry I see that I have alot to catch up on.
SO
Shall we begin?

Last week was absolute poo poo. Remember how I said I was waiting to find out whether or not the teachers went on strike? Well, they did. They were outside being gay all last week. So I accomplished absolutely nothing. I wanted to go home, but the only trouble was that we never knew when the teachers would end the strike, so every morning started with me getting up at 6:30 and checking the website.

It was uber gay.

Thursday was a good day though because my baby boy aka Cortlin came down to visit lil ol me. So I decided to be just awesome and make the house dinner which consisted of italian vodka sausage pasta and garlic bread. Peter didn't eat with us because hes just silly. Kylee was working and Tristian was MIA from his trip to Vancouver.
So when I say I made dinner for the whole house I mean Cortlin, Rob and I got some good bonding time in.

Friday morning I took Cortlin to Deli Lama which is a specialty sandwich store near Cornwall. It was nom noms. Then we did what any good person does and went to Brewsters (which is pretty dope btw) and had some homemade house beer while we waited to go and see Contagion.
Which was meh.

Then that night we went to Pure Ultra lounge with a couple of the roommates. Basically the night went south fast and made the drama we have at home look like a playschool argument over who gets the big shovel in the sand box.
SO the next day Cortlin and I decided to go home to Saskatoon and take a break from Regina so I could clear my head. I was honestly considering moving out of my place to be honest. Overwhelmed is a good word. But I got over it, realized my love for the place was too strong and thus am giving it all a second chance.

But back to the weekend.

Saskatoon was chill as I had hoped. And I got to see brand new baby Konrad, Kirsten and Eckarts baby that they had over the long weekend. He is so beautiful. AWE!
Chilled with the gang for a bit, then just as I was getting settled I got a call saying that the strike was over and I had class on monday. Mother fuckers.

Monday was kinda stressful. We had to figure out with our teachers how we were going to make up the week of shit we had missed out on. I think we have it all figured out though. We put an extra make-up class for 102 on wed, all freaking day of anatomy on friday, and a make-up lab next wed. (fingers crossed they don't strike again next week).

So yeah, I learned how to give bed baths, brush patients teeth, and wash genitalia haha. We did the genitalia part on these rubber moldings of vaginas and penis' which was awkward none the less. But for the bed baths and teeth cleaning we had to practice on each other >_<
Alanna was my partner and I adore this girl. We just laughed the whole time, especially during the brushing of the teeth. So strange.

But otherwise the week has been going by fairly fast. Tomorrow I have the afternoon off. But friday is gonna be balls. Anatomy for freaking seven hours.
SEVEN HOURS.

Meh and thats all I have to report

You spin my Head right Round

Ugh I need to update this thing more. Now I have too much to catch up on.

Rest of the school week was awesome. Now that I kinda have a few people to hang out with its alot more fun. Went to anatomy on friday and I think this class will tear out my soul and replace it with terminology. Looks super hard.

As soon as I finished class on Fri I was on the road and headed back home for the long weekend. The whole way up I just kept thinking how much I wanted to party. But as soon as I got there all my energy was gone haha.

Went over to Ambers after eating a huge meal curtosy of mommy :)
Steff was back in town from Europe so that was sweet to hear some of her stories.
Us and some other girls went out to Outlaws. I was not in the mood haha. SO Chelsea and I went and got Brittney then went to the Skuz to meet Chelsea's new bf. Him and his friends were super shy so we didn't get too much outta them haha. But one of them was Andrew (? Courtney, the redhead who came with Kevin and James. Andrew?), who I used to serve coffee to at Concourse. So it was neat to catch up with him.

Then I went home and slept like a lamo.

Sat night I met up with Brittney at Tequila for the last half of a pub crawl she was on. It was fun :) Got to see Bo Do which was pretty cool as well haha.

Sun morning I was a huge kiss ass and brought coffee and timbits over to Curtis and Marge :)Got to visit with them for a couple of hours which was absolutely wonderful. Kirsten and Echart came over as well, and Kirsten was due on Friday so we talked about the baby a bit.
(She had the baby on Monday night btw, baby boy I KNEW IT, named Konrad <3)

Sunday night I went for dinner with Liz at Moxies :) and she looks super duper hot btw. I missed that girl!
So we got to catch up, then Jordan, his roommate Craig and Brittney met up with us and we went down to Belieys to meet up with Amber, Steff and Hailey.
It was a decent time. Found a new love for CC Phil haha. Such a sweet guy.

ANd yesterday I was a piece of shit and did nothing all day. Hung out at home, then hit the road by 630.

Oh, so as soon as I get back to Regina mom calls me to say that the teachers are going on strike Tuesday morning. To which I respond with a slurry of swears because I could have stayed in Stoon and seen Cortlin who was in Calgary all weekend. God fucking damnit.

SO i am currently up and prepared for class, waiting for an official notice to go up on the website seeing as at the moment its all still up in the air.

Stupid SIAST.

No Shame

Well Wednesday is already done and I feel like I'm starting to find my cofmort zone in class. Met a few really cool girls and everyone else seems pretty sweet too. Except this one girl, who every two minutes puts up her hands and says "I have a question" to which I say (in my head) "of course you do". And its never relevant questions.

Last night Kayla and I hung out, got supper at Table 10 near my place. It was super delicious. Also I got some perogies from a bakery across the street from my place too.

Oh, so Im sitting in class today when our teacher informs us that we need to come to lab next week in our bathing suits.
why?
Because we will be giving each other sponge baths.
Why?
Because apparently its an important nursing skill.
Why don't we use the mannequins?
GOOD FREAKING QUESTION.

I barely get to know these people and we gotta bathe each other.
Ugh

Also, out teachers told us that the notice of a teacher strike is in the works right now...whatever that mean. Cortlin tells me its just a tease, but I'm scared haha. I don't want to have to make-up class time.

Is it Friday yet?
I'm ready to go home.

Oh! and one of the girls in my class, Deejai, lives on Cortlin's street.
Small world?

Another Piece of the Puzzle

Today was my first day back to school since 2008 and let me tell ya, I honestly missed it. As soon as I was walking into the building I was just like...ahh...back in the mix.

Well, until I found out that I was in the wrong building and the nurses had their own building behind the main SIAST campus. Which is going to suck in the winter time because its about a 8-10 walk.

But anyways, my class has only 32 people in it which blows my mind considering the demand for psych nurses is so high. There are only two guys and the rest are girls. Which kinda makes me nervous, because we all know how catty us girls can be haha.

The head of our department came and talked to us for quite a while, just explaining stuff. Found out that even though the first eight months of my second year will still be in one of the four of those shitty towns, the last six months of the program I can basically go anywhere. ANYWHERE. I can go back to Saskatoon if I want, or I can go over to the UK if I want haha.

Did a tour of the main building as well where we will have at leats one class a day. One of our labs is there too, and the entire 8th floor is set up like a real hospital where we will be working with these mannequins that can talk, move their mouths and blink hahah. So that should be extremely creepy, but I'm super pumped.
Plus we get to work on the same floor as the emts as well, and there are some pretty men up there let me tell you.

Got a few of my books but was lucky enough that some third year nurse texted me last night saying she would sell me five books for 120 bucks. Crazy good deal, so that saved me like 300 dollars.

But yeah, overall I left today feeling extremely happy. I haven't felt this good about what I was doing since...well ever really. This career choice just feels so right for me.
I'm content.
Although apparently the first semester is what could kill you haha.

Got to get to know Kylee more when I got home too. She's actually really cool :)

So far so good Regina.

Although I am still counting down the days until I go home on Friday haha

I'll Call this Chapter One

This is my first blog from Regina O_O shitty deal man.

Friday was my going away night so all my fav people came out to help me celebrate :) Cortlin had to work though which was a big bummer. We started out at James', had a drink there then called some cabs and went down to Belieys. It was ladies night which is always awesome plus the lovely Hilah was also also there.

On a side note: my blogger is suddenly doing a spell check for me...this is new.

Anyway, we stayed there for a bit. Dylan who I worked with at Shear Fab came out which was most excellent. Plus I got to see a few other people I used to work with at Concourse as well.
A while later we decided to go to Scratch. Had a few more drinks, danced a bit, and chatted so overall it was pretty awesome. The night ended at the Pita Pit which seems to have become a tradition for the guys haha. Josh made me laugh when he called me a robot because I didnt cry during Harry Potter or on my last night haha.
So besides a attempted sabotage early in the night, I thought that my last night was pretty damn perfect.

The next morning I woke up at nine and realized I hadnt packed anything at all. So Cortlin came over to help pack my car like a champion. Then we met Josh Cole Matt Johnny and Kat for dim sum :) it was delicious and the company was perfect.
After that I went to go and say goodbye to Curtis and Marge :( Marge made me cry when she started crying so that wasn't good haha. SO IM NOT A ROBOT JOSH.
Then I basically just lay next to Cortlin as he was falling asleep and cried like a little bitch haha.

This move is a big change, so yeah, I was sad.

Then I met my dad for a quick lunch, ran home to console my mother, then I was off. It was a long ass drive for some reason. Probably because I just wanted to turn around the whole time.
But as soon as I got to Regina I was too freaking busy to think. Took me ten times longer to unpack then I thought it would, I have way too much shit. Half of which I dont think I even needed in the first place.
Paused at one point to go to Michi for the best sushi I have ever had, thannks to Kayla and Hiro haha. It was so so so so so good.

Slept like the dead until about ten the next morning. Then Kayla and I hung out all day. Had breakfast at Sweet which is too amazing. Wandered the mall for a bit, got some last minute things I needed. Then her, Hiro and I went to Browns Social House for supper. Best burger, right up there with Fudruckkers! So nom nom.

Now I am just chilling for a bit before I go and meet Chelsey and some people for drinks.

Tomorrow is the first day of school....oh good lord.

But I won't Quit, cause I want More

This week has been crazy busy so far. If I'm not packing, I'm working, or trying to catch up with people before I go, or spending time with the families. I can't believe it's alreayd thursday and I only have two days left :( It's all starting to catch up to me and now I'm just sad.

Monday I had a coffee date with James and Brittney which was most excellent :) Big props to James for coming back to join us each time haha. Not many men could handle our 2-3 hour coffee sessions!!

Tuesday night was messy. Went over to Ambers around 6:30 to hang out and have a few drinks. We decided that because it was my last week we were going to go to the Deuce for some good ol Tuesday night dancing. Well, one drink led to way too many shots and yeah. Tipsy on a Tuesday is a terrible idea. Dave, Hailey and Boots also joined us. It was a good group
The Deuce was fun actually. No jail bait which was nice and got to see a few people that we went to highschool with as well.

Wednesday I spent the entire work day feeling like absolute shit while Clayton and Dale giggled at my expense :-p
Wed night was awesome though. Kirsten and Eckart had the Hendriks, Daniels and my mom and I over to supper. This was the first time my mom had really hung out with "my second family" so I was pretty excited for it. By the end of the night she understood why I love them all so much! And Danielle, Marge and Kirsten made me a care package for Regina with some really sweet stuff in it too :)

This morning I trained my replacement, Lolita. She's a sweetheart, and has a strong background in accounting which was awesome because that makes my job ten times easier.
Then Clayton and Dale took me out for lunch :) and it was most wonderful.

Sigh, tomorrow is my last work day.
Tomorrow night is my last party night.

Well, until I come home for the long weekend haha
BUT STILL.

Better see you tomorrow night.
Just sayin.

What Weekend?

I didn't get to do anything I wanted to do this weekend haha. All thanks to the CPR Heartsave course I had to take from school. Ten hours a day, both weekend days. Shoot me.
It was pretty easy though, and somewhat interesting. There was one girl in my class that drove me absolutely insane. She was in the class because she had been accepted into med school (although I don't know how to be honest). At one point we were talking about animal bites and the teacher asked what was the one thing we had to worry about when it comes to animal bites. Everyone is about to say rabis when this girl shouts our "MAD COW". So we laugh a little and say oh no, ur so silly. But then we realized that this chick was dead serious and was willing to defend her answer for the rest of time.

Stupid.

THEN as we were sitting on break she starts complaining "OH MY GOD, this is so boring. I don't want to be here. I mean, this class isn't even relevant to health care providers."
You could have heard a pin drop. Everyone went completely silent and just started at her until I finally say "Are you joking?"
To which once again she defended her statement to the death.

Some people just take up valuable air and resources.
Dispose of.

But yeah. the rest of the weekend was me getting excited to go out and see everyone only to have to go to bed at midnight haha.

Oh well. This week I plan to go hard. Leaving for Regina probably saturday, maybe maybe sunday. Depends how much time I'll need to get settled before the great depression begins on Monday haha.

So. This Friday. No excuses. No going home early.
We party til dawn

This One's for You Baby

Second last week of work! Whoot!
It's been a pretty productive week so far.
Monday I had a coffee date with my lover Brittney :) I'm gonna miss our coffee dates alot :( Not that we'll stop having them, just that they will be less frequent.

Tuesday night was Sam's last night in town so we went to try out the new Pure frozen yogurt bar. SOOOOOOOO GOOOODDDD. They give you like ten different options of yogurt then a million different toppings. I tried the cheesecake flavour :) nom nom. Highly reccomend this place.
Plus I got to show her my scrapbook which I always love to whore out to whoever wants to see it :-p

Last night was the going away dinner for Catherine Bitz and I that Hilah planned :) It was pretty awesome. Courteny, Carsie, her bf Andrew and Cortlin also came and we went to Aroma. It was pretty delicious, all of their pizza's are 7bucks on wednesdays too which is a plus. It was nice seeing everyone again though, we don't get together often enough.

Today is payday, thank you Jesus. Gotta lock that moneys away.
I also applied for student loans this week. I highly doubt that I'll be approved because of that weird thing that Bob did with my income tax, but I figure I should at least try before I give in to poverty.

Oh, and if you see me this weekend and I;m not reading my essay book thats due in three weeks....slap me.
Gotta get that shit done!!

Hay is a Terrible Idea

SO this weekend was a pretty big success in my books. Friday night was Outlaws 1st birthday and Amber, Hailey, Sam and I decided to go down for a girls night. When we get there we noticed that the dancefloor was covered in hay haha. Initially I thought this was a great idea until Amber started throwing hay at all of us and I quickly realized that it was very dirty hay.
At the same time though, it was still super fun. Everyone was just throwing it at eachother, dancing around and having a great time.
Plus it's always nice seeing the people I used to work with. I kinda miss Outlaws, just a little bit haha.
After the bar we did what everyone should do after a successful Friday night.
Get HotnReadys. :)

Saturday I woke up at 6 am feeling like absolute shit. Throat scratchy and no voice.
Thanks hay.
Mom and I decided to hang out for the afternoon, so I took her to go and see Horrible Bosses. Man, it's just as great the second time haha.
Then I went home and napped for a while then went over to Cortlins to watch a movie before I went out to scratch with Sam and the boys.

We watched After Life, with Liam Neison. Its about Liam, whos the guy who prepares the bodies after death for the funeral. One day this girl gets into a car accident and wakes up on Liams table. He tells her that she is dead and he has a gift that allows him to help the dead transcend into the afterlife. Shes in denial, and the majority of the movie is her fighting Liam etc etc. Finally she accepts that she is dead and allows him to prepare her for her funeral.
Shes laying in her coffin as Liam explains that he sees dead peolpe every day, walking around amoung the living, hanging onto a life they never wanted. It was at this point I knew Liam was crazy and the shit was about to hit the fan.
She asks to see herself one last time so he gives her a mirror, and she breathes on it, realizing that she really does have breath and isn't dead. Turns out Liams been pumping her full of drugs that slows her heartrate etc etc.
So she freaks out, tries to get out. Etc etc. I won't ruin it.
Its a slow movie, but the more I think about it, the more I like it.

After that was done I went to pick up Sam and Johnny, James, Chris and Thomas met us at Scratch. The music is always good there. At least I think so. Its just so different.
Stayed until about 1:30 then peaced out.

Sunday I worked at Bobs office for the morning, then ran around and did some errands. Got some pots and pans and all that fun kitchen stuff I know I'm gonna need soon :(

Man, two more weeks and then I get to be a resident of Regina.
Joy.

Oh, and one of my roomates, Mike, moved out this weekend. Hadn't even been there a month. So I'm curious whos coming in next!!

Is it Friday yet?

I have 12 work days left at Shear Fab, and this makes me quite sad. I love my boss', the guys are pretty cool, and I'm going to really miss having an income.
I've been thinking of applying to the new lounge Pure in Regina, so we shall see. It's really close to my place and I think the money would hold my head above water for at least a while.
I did the math and with what I have saved up I will probably last until the new year, don't even talk to me about Christmas haha. I wish I could snag a student loan!

This week has been going by pretty decent so far though. Met Johnnt, Josh, Brittney, Cortlin and Sam and Sushiro on Monday for delicious sushi. It itched the scratch I've had for weeks, so I was rather happy.
Cortlin and I went to go see bridesmaids at ten with Sam and her fam. I didn't mind it. I think everyone hyped it up a bit too much for me though. My expectations were way too high and not quite met. I'm in love with the cop with the hot accent though, so sweet.

Last night I made gnocchi because my mom found some and decided it would make my day. It did :) But it m ade me very sad at the same time because I would basically do anything to wake up in that hotel room with nothing but expectations.
I even miss all those stairs Brittney. No joke. I miss walking everwhere. I worked out for the first time since the trip last night and I was just like...man...if I had walked all day I wouldn't have to be doing this.

Alas, this weekend looks like its going to be beautiful so I am pumped.
Bareass?
I think so.

And I know today is going to be a good day because some guy just got fired and it was entertaining

Too much Love in the Room. Must Cry.

This weekend was spent in the oh so wonderful city of Regina. Drove up with Cortlin after I caught a quick supper with Hannah, which was excellent. I do miss that girl, and I see her so little these days its nice to catch up when we can, even for only a little while.

Got into Regina around 9 and moved some furniture into my new room on Retallack. I was beaming the whole time. I don't know if it was out of nerves or excitement. Probably both.
The thought of moving out is extremely appealing. But the whole two hours away from home thing is not haha. Especially when there is going to be homework and stress involved in the next ten ish months.

After we just dumped everything in my room we went to Bushwakkers to meet Kayla and Hiro for a drink. I haven't seen Kayla since before my trip and her surgery so it was a relief to see that she was doing fairly well.
We visited for a couple hours then went our seperate ways because I was tired as hell and we had a big day on Sat.

Haha so I don't have a bed yet in Regina, so I put down a sleeping bag, a duvet and then a blanket to sleep under. Ugh, not comfy in the least. Next morning my stomach was all cramped and my hip was asleep.
Plus I'm not used to living with other people who move around all hours of the night. Plus with it being an old house, if you sneeze the house shifts. But I'll adjust haha.
Roomates are pretty sweet too. Mike works nights but he has such an awesome sense of humor, very sarcastic. So I think him and I shall mesh well.
Peter is pretty shy. He woke me up at 6:30 on Saturday with his stupid xbox live, so bad start haha. He;s a sweetheart though.

Then next morning Cortlin's cousin Jeredan was getting married to Jillena so we went to the ceremony around noon.
Man, all I did was tear up like a little bitch. She walked in to My Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I died, I just died. It was such a beautiful song I couldn't help but cry.
Then Jeredan gets up with his guitar and sang to her, and he has such a beautiful voice! SO of course I had to tear up again.
The service was really good though, very upbeat and lots of jokes.
And when he got to kiss the bride, I cried again.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME

I am turning into my mother haha.

A bunch of us went to Boston Pizza for lunch because we had a break until the reception at five. I also got to sneak in a nap which was excellent. Although according to Cortlin I'm a scary beast when woken up and told I need to accomplish something. Isn't everyone though? Haha, sorry I don't wake up humming a tune and smiling from ear to ear :-p

The reception was also good. Great supper, hillarious games, good speeches, AND I didn't even cry again.

Once it was all over we went over to Kayla's apartment so I could show her my Europe scrapbook haha. It's like my baby, I want to show everyone.
Hung out there until 12:30 ish then went home to go to sleep.

Next morning caught a quick breakfast with Curtis, Cortlin and Kayla. Then we went to the gift opening to visit with the family and then we drove home.

And that was my weekend. Fairly productive if I do say so myself.

How was yours?

Boxes of Life

So I started to pack up my room a bit last night as I am beginning a tiny bit of the move on Friday.
It was weird. I felt like I was going camping but was getting carried away with everything I was bringing. At one point mom came in and just stared at the chaos all pouty. The look in her eyes was close to "why are you doing this to me" lol.

But yes, I have a wedding in Regina on Sat so I figured I'd set up my place, at least enough for me to have somewhere to sleep.

UGH I DON'T WANT TO MOVE.
Not to Regina anyway haha.

Make it Paris.
Then I'd be excited.

Back in Black, ready to Rock.

Hello blog. How have you been the past two weeks? I hope you are well rested.

Got back from the trip on wed night. It was a bitter sweet return. I was happy to be at home to see all those I love, but I instantly missed the excitement of seeing something new everyday.

I think my quote for the trip was
"I didn't think it'd be this big."
Followed by Brittney telling me to stop underestimating Europe haha.
I knew everything would be huge and gorgeous and wonderful. But you can't really prepare yourself for the first time you see Big Ben, or the Eiffel Tower, or St. Peters church, or the Pantheon. It just forces you to stop in awe.

I loved every city for a different reason, but I must say that I left my heart in Paris. There was just something about the place that I can't get out of my mind.

Rome had the best food though haha. Hands down. I miss Centurion already, the resteraunt we went to practically every night. If you are ever in Rome, go there. Piazza del Popolo. Go now.

The long weekend was awesome though. Went to Greenwater with everyone.
I think I spent 60% of the time sleeping due to me getting over my cold and jet lag. But it was fun. Lots of sun, perhaps too much booze. Chris' mom rocked my world though with her hospitality and cooking.

Ugh, why must it be back to reality already!?!?!

Peace out

So this will be my last blog post on this account before I somehow figure out how to hide it while I'm on my travel blog haha. We'll see how well it works!!!

Even though I don't leave for two more days,
See you in two weeks blog

Four more Days!

Four more days until Europe gah!!!!
I am currently sitting at work somewhat freaking out because of everything I get to do this week to wrap things up at work. Amber is coming in for her first training session in half and hour, and she's bringing coffee so I am quite pumped :)
I love training.

This weekend was pretty good.
Friday Sean had people over in his backyard for some drinking and beer pong. James brought his fancy camera with the whole neck strap and everything. So I pretended to be Josh K with Pilot Productions and just went crazy with the pictures. I enjoyed myself haha.
The best part of the night by far was climbing on the roof and making Dave catch me cause I didn't wanna climb back down haha.
But the tired caught up with me and like a big gay I was home by 11:30 or something stupid like that.
So I taught myself how to use SKype with the help of Sam haha. So we chatted for a bit, and man, I love Skype. It's freaking ten times better then a phone call.

Saturday....I don't remember what I did during the day....
Hmm...
Oh yeah! I went and ran some errands then went and got one of my shots done for school :)
Then I met Cortlin, Chelsea and Johnny at Galaxy to go and watch Horrible Boss'. Man, that show was AWESOME. Must see. It was great from beginning to end. GO SEE IT.
James had people over that night for more beer pong and lolz. It was a good time :)

Sunday I just hung out with Coco and the Food Network.

Room temperature Tea and a Cool breeze.

This week has been a crazy blur.
I shouldn't say craczy though, as nothing really exciting happened. Just that work went by ten time faster then I ever thought it would. I expected my anticipation to make time basically come to a hault just to torture me. So for the opposite, I am gratful :)

Seven days
173 hours
10,4011 minutes
And a bunch more seconds to go until the plane will take me away for a well deserved break haha.

I think I am most looking forward to waking up in the morning, throwing open the curtains, and seeing a place that isn't Saskatoon. Just for a bit.
I know I'm going to be homesick at times, but I also think this trip will go by way too fast.

Last night I got an info package from SIAST telling me whats up. Turns out I have to go update all my immunizations before July 15th :( If you know me, then you know I hate needles. Also, I've been avoiding ones I was supposed to get back in 2009 when I worked at the hospital. The system finally backed me into a corner on this one :(

Also found out that I will have to take a first aid and cpr course before classes start Aug 29th. So that should be fun.?. Plus a criminal records check.
Sounds like a lot of trouble to go to school haha.

The worst bit of news I got in that package was that my second year is going to be in another town other then Regina. My options are North Battleford, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, or Yorkton.
I think I'm going to try for Moosejaw. I haven't been there since I was like 12 but I remember it being kinda cute and quaint or something.
But I asked Bob last night if he could kiss some ass for me at Saskatoon's psych hospital because he's doing their security atm haha. So fingers crossed that that baby may fly?

No idea what I wanna do this weekend.
Was gonna do Regina on Sunday, but I dunno...

All I Need is a Time Machine

I accomplished nothing this weekend, which was exactlly my plan. So success!!

Thursday night I drank too much gin apparently. I didn't think I had but alas I did. Went to Belieys. Nuff said.
Next morning I went for dim sum with Johnny, Josh and Mitch O. I missed Mitch, so I was quite thrilled when I heard he was back in town :)The dim sum was good in theory but I just wanted to die after I ate it.
After that my mom decided I needed some retail therapy so we went to the mall where there were some fantastic sales. Tried not to fall asleep on the floor, got a few little things.
Then I went and brought Corltin some pizza at work. Venice house has the best pizza I think :) So we watched Star Wars, then I went and met Brittney for coffee at 11. Was asleep by 12:30 ish. SO excellent friday haha

Saturday my mom and I went out to Vonda to have lunch with the grandparents and then we did a tour of the town to see all the renovations that were being done to their church and rink center. It was pretty sweet, a nice chill afternoon of nostalgia.
As soon as we got home I hopped in the car, picked up some beer and went to join the boys on James' lawn haha. I felt very pale to say the least haha. But it was fun.
Around five I ran home to shower then went to Cortlin's for supper where his mom made homemade pizza. Nom nom. So we took that over to the Germans and had dinner there. Cortlin had to leave for work so I just hung around with the rents lol. It was grand. Love them all.
Then I went to Ambers for an evening outside with a fire and sociables haha. Haven't played that in ages, and it was supper fun :) Got home and just sat on my driveway for an hour or so while talking to Chelsea. I had the brilliant idea of going to get my car, so I walked all the way to Joes, then Cortlin somehow talked me out of it. So I turned around and went home haha.

Sunday I felt like poo. So I slept until one ish. Attempted to tan, but it was too hot so I just went inside. Brittney came over for dinner to meet my rents haha. They wanted to get to know her before the trip :) I enjoyed that.

Yeah, and now its Monday and there is only 11 days left before the trip!!!

Strings Attached

Ugh I kinda forget what I did this week...

Tuesday night Sam, Johnny, Matt, Cortlin and I went to Amigos because Sam was cravin it like a champion. I tried the torilla pizza with pesto and JESUS CHRIST it was amazing. I think I'd do the vegetarian next time though, with half cheese. It was just too much haha.
Then we went to Rainbow for toonie tuesday and saw Hanna. I've already seen it but it was equally great the second time around. Although I didn't get home until midnight which made me uber sad face :(

So I was tres tired Wednesday. Worked. Left early to go to the doctor to make sure I'm good to go for the trip. He gave me the green flag so off we go!!!
Then I went home to create a fantastic chicken dinner for the family. I had it in the oven for maybe twenty minutes when the god damn power went out and didn't come back on for over an hour.
SO that ruined that.

Sammy Sam Sam stopped by to say a quick goodbye as she left at like 5 am this morning :( I miss her already. Why must she live so damn far away...

Tonight I plan to tear up the town.
It's nice
and it's a long weekend.
Freaking great combination.

Only Love, Lovin you

This weekend was pretty awesome. Friday started out shitty because my body decided to attempt to kill me through a pinched nerve that shut down the left side of my chest, turning my arm completely numb, and bringing tears to my eyes everytime I tried to take a breath. Thank god our neighbour is a doctor. So he came over and checked me out quick, made sure it wasn't anything more then a pinched nerve, then reccomended lots of aleve. So I downed half the bottle, lay down for a bit then around eleven when the pain numbed all of us ladies (Brittney, Kat, Amber, Kimmi, Sam and I ) went to Tequila to go show the dancefloor who was boss.
The dj was kinda not great, but he got the job done. And by job I mean packing the floor with enough people that you actually felt yourself walk through a wall of heat as you got closer to the floor. It was human soup sweat central.
I had alot of fun though. Ran into a guy I grew up with and had the most awkward conversation of my life with just ended in exchanging numbers so we could perhaps attempt a real conversation another day.
Oh, and this guy who spoke french was asking us if we spoke french. Sam decided to tell him I did haha and I made the mistake of telling him "Je ne parle pas français" (I don't speak french) and he immediately got excited and thought I did speak french. God damn.

Saturday morning I had dim sum with Cortlin. He's working overnights for the next ever so I won't get to see much of him on the weekends :( so that was delicious. Then I went home and took a nap, woke up and watched movies until I went to Sam's for a ppool party/bbq
Man, more people need pools. They are just fun. I love them. Even though it rained most the night, then my stupid chest pain kicked in again like a lovely, so it was more pills and out of the pool for me.
It was a good night though, very chill. Oh, and Sam makes THE BEST mojitos. Ever.

Sunday I was a piece of shit.
Went to shoppers and bought travel sized everything to get ready for the trip. Then I went and rented Tron because I had yet to watch it, and bought Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt.1.
Then I just watched movies until supper time. There was a brief attempy to go to Schryers with Johnny but the bastards are closed on SUndays, so that was a bust.
The best part about last night was that the new season of True Blood started. And there are a few things I liked, and a few things I hated:
1. I hate the whole Lafeyette being a witch bullshit. It's a show about vampires, ugh I don't care. Go back to being sassy and gay.
2. Not sure how I feel about the new Fey angle...I'll keep you updated.
3. What's her face is a lesbian now, and I kinda like that idea better then her sour attitude. Plus shes a cage fighter now? bad ass.
4. Eric is still hotter then any man should be. It ended with him surprising Sookie when she's all naked and basically saying he had bought her house now she belongs to him. Then it ended with his lustful approach. Which makes you think...finally, after three seasons they are gonna bang. But I predict that it's not gonna happen. She's gonna talk her way out of it. sigh

This morning I went and dropped of my car at Novakoski to get the ding in the back fixed. Finally. It's only been sitting there since January.
And I love my rental car more then my own. As the lady pointed it out my face lit up. Its blue, which sucks, but its a two door ford focus, and I love it.

And thats my update

Yay for four day weeks!!!

Then there was no Hate

This week has flown by, like every weeks seems to be doing lately. 21 days until the trip!!! BAM. So freaking pumped. I've started my training notes for Amber, and I must say I love the idea of training. I think it will be lots of fun. Found out my mom is a typical mom this morning. She has to be in Regina on the 14th to be with Kayla. But she's planning on packing the poor girl in the car first thing the next morning and dragging her home to see me and Brittney off to the airport haha. Kayla is gonna be sooooo not impressed. AT least I wouldn't be.

98% percent of the guys went fishing this weekend, so there are very few people in the office right now. SO I think it is going to be a very quiet day. *fingers crossed*

Wednesday night Brittney and I went for a walk of epic proportions. From my house, to the zoo and back. It was super fun :)I love walks, although according to Cortlin it's a sure sign that I'm old -_-

Last night Marge made a big nom nom salmon dinner for a belated Cortlin's birthday. So all the neighbours stopped by and we pigged out. Great times were had by all. Then we went to Bugsy's to meet up with Sam and Cortlin's friend Jordon for some chill time and a quick visit.

Now it's friday, and today I went driving around dropping off and picking up cheques thanks to the lovely mail bitches who want to complain and such. Get back to the office with this bad feeling, like I've messed up somehow. Sure enough, get a call from a couple people saying I've mixed up their cheques. Ugh.

Tonight is going to be awesome though! Cheesecake dinner with Sam, then get ready for a girls night at Tequila!
Pretty pumped.

If Only you Knew the Truth

Workdays have been boring and uneventful as hell.
But the evenings have been quite excellent :)

Monday night was Katherine's birthday so we met for coffee and a good catch up. Haven't seen Kat since.....New Years? That's probably not right, but it feels like its been that long anyway.
So we went for coffee for a couple hours and she told me all about ROME!!!! Gah, it just made me more excited. When I asked her what her fav part of Rome was, area wise, she said Trastervere!!!! Which thrilled me because I did some research on it a while ago and was hoping it was as good as it sounds.
So she gave me a bunch of helpful tips and mentioned alot of things that I didn't even think about, like making copies of passports and taking credit cards etc etc.
It was grand :)

Last night I just hung out with Cortlin. He starts his overnight shifts this weekend so I won't see him.
But that's kinda good timing because Sam is in town and I wanna spend a bunch of time with her haha :)

Three more days of work
Three more days of work

25 Days

This weekend was a busy one. But in a very good way.

Friday at work was ok until Dale informed me that he was going to be gone for the next three weeks :( Which make me sad because not only do I adore this man and his company, but now there's a chance that I may not see him until after Europe. Sad panda.

(Current note: This guy at work looks and talks like peewee herman and its creeping me the fuck out)

Anywho, after work I dropped Kayla off with a friend and tried not to drown in the process on account of all the god damn rain we have been getting. Saw a couple of cars that had flooded and stalled in the mini lakes that were all over the place.
Got to Cortlin's for his happy birthday Kegger. Once it picked up it was a pretty damn good time. Although there is something about beer that just doesn't get me drunk. It just makes me feel all full and shitty.
Thomas got Kayla to do a mini keg stand though, so I promised to loev him forever for that haha. It was pretty funny.
I pretty much just tried to take as many pictures as I could, and I think I have to get a new memory card now :(

Got home crazy early in the morning on Sat, slept for a couple more hours then Kayla and I got to work on our father's day gifts which were home made cinnamon buns :) nom nom.
It was a long, three ish hour process but oh so worth it.
So I took some to Curtis because I'm a huge kiss ass like that. Then my mom, my sister and I went and hung out for a bit at the mall. My mom just had a scope done on her knee so she was all limpy and funny :-p
After that I picked up Cortlin and we went to go and see Super 8. I really liked it. The end was kind of dissapointing only because you spend the whole movie in suspense over this creature, and once you see it your interest kind of peaks. But the characters were super well done, so I reccomend seeing it.
Went to Ninos for a late supper aka nom calamari. Said a quick hey to the guys at James' and watched Austin Powers haha. Then I was home and asleep by midnight. I was pooped.

Woke up Sunday feeling like my head was full of fuck. I think all this rain chilled me or something cause I just felt crappy. But Sunday was the busiest day of all so I had to hop to it.
It was fathers day as well as mom and Cortlin's birthday, so I started by making breakfast for Bob and mom.
Then Kayla and I went to the airport to go and pick up Sam who is going t be in town for the next while. I have missed her dearly :)
Met Hiro at the house and then met our dad downtown for shitty saskatoon garden dim sum. I disliked it strongly. After that we went to Midtown so that they could wander around and I could suprise Cortlin with a bday blizzard because he had to work 8-8. Hung around there for a bit then went home to take the shortest nap of my life.
Woke up and went to my aunts where we ate too much food lol but it was fantastic.
THEN i went and picked up Sam and we met dear dear Liz at Mckensie Cole as she was in town from Calgary for only a few days.
It was a nice catch up, and reminded me of the times we used to go there in highschool together. :) awe. I miss all the gals together.

SO
that was my weekend.
How was yours?

Dropping bombs

So here's a little development in life as I know it.
I emailed Lucy on Monday to ask her abou tcoming in for a bit in July while I'm in Europe. Also I reminded her that I was going back to school late august and wanted to know what would be a good restart day for her.

She emails me back today saying that she can't cover for me in July, which is fine. Amber will help me out there.
BUT then she says that she's decided she's not coming back until Oct31st....leaving the office without an admin for two months?
THIS WAS NOT THE GOD DAMN PLAN!!!!!
Gah, I'm freaking out because now I'm expected to find and train someone for two useless months where by the time they get the hang of everything the two months will be up.
Is Lucy pissed or something? She agreed to come back when I went to school...
UGH.
So that sucks.

Now...
....how to tell my boss'
:(

Don't like what I see in the Mirror

This weekend was a blur.
Friday night a bunch of us went to Eastview bowl to do some drunk bowling. I participated in the bowling, not the drunk haha.
But it was the walk home that was the truly good time. I love walking around. Boots ran through bushes and climbed schools and Golf's Car Wash haha. Stopped at pizzahut where we realized his arms were bleeding/?!?!
Almost made it all the way home, but as soon as Josh left us and we realized we still had another hour to walk, we said fuck it and called a cab.

Saturday morning I went out in an effort to find something for Cortlin for his birthday. But no dice :( I know he'd be happy with a new game, but I don't wanna settle for that. I want something special.
But after a while I gave up, so I'll have to try again another time this week.
Went and bought the keg for his birthday. Which I realized was a horrible idea because I hadn't asked Bob yet :( and of course he said no. But no worries, I will find an alternative.
Sat night I went to Kimmis for a nom nom BBQ, then to Seans to say a quick hello as it was his birthday.

Sunday morning Cortlin and I drove out to Regina to get the keys to the place I'll be staying this fall.
It's a big old character house in Cathedral, and I'll be living with four other people. The owner and his fiance are amazing, so nice. The room is small but I'll make it work :)

Man, I don't feel like blogging anymore atm haha. I've been up since one on account of me being shitty. So I r tired.

More another day

This is why I shouldn't get paid this much

Because I don't work. I'm bored as hell and thus I am going to write this blog.
It's a crime how I live my life.

Last night was super laid back in subtle ways. When I got home I made a big bowl of noodles for my mom and I. I put this garlic spice mix into the ground beef as I made a sauce and it just turned it into instant magic. After dinner we made cookies and pretty much just sat there and ate cookie dough. The whole time we took turns saying "Last bite, this is going to make me sick" but of course that didn't happen.
Then I did a half ass work out in an effort to make myself feel like less of a piece of shit. See, the plan is to loose weight before Europe so that I can induge and not return to Canada looking like a balloon. So far it has all been in vain. I was going to write vein...

Then Cortlin calls me from work. He was working an overnight thus brought his xbox to play. But he forgot a controller :-p
So, being the most wonderful girlfriend/push over, I went to his house to get him one haha. Curtis was very dissapointed in me, but lukily he was standing far enough away and without my glasses I couldn't actaully make out his dissapointed expression.
Then I made my way downtown to Cortlin, hung around the empty mall parkade with him for a bit, begging him to steal me one of the confiscated bikes the security guards kept locked up in cages. No dice.

Went home and listened to Young the Giants for a good hour. Listen to them. You may have heard their song My Body on rock102, but man, I love them. They are my lyrical crush of the moment.

Attempted to sleep but kept having the strange feeling that something was in my room so I kept turning my bedside lamp on and off. Lame.
Oh, and KK decided to drunk txt me at all hours of the night -_- remind me to return the favour haha.

46 days until Europe.
I can hardly wait.
I need someone to erase my daydreams from my mind about this trip, because I honestly cannot focus on anything.
It is not good.

Sushi tonight at Sushiro with Brittney and Josh! Whoot!

Remind me to not speak my mind

Good news, I found a place in Regina to live :)
This is kinda bittersweet for me. It's good because now I have a place to go and Bob can get off my back. But it's bad because now I have to move to Regina :( Ugh.

Its a big character house in Cathedral which is apparently the "trendy" part of Regina. Grain of salt lol.
The owner is 30 and lives there with his 22 year old fiance. They have one other tennant already who is apparently pretty quite and games all the time. So it'll kinda be like home? haha.
There is one more room that they need to fill which will apparently be some guy from Manitoba.
The kitchen is gorgeous, there;s a deck on two of the floors and two bathrooms.
Oh and they have three adorable little dogs according to Kayla.
So I'm super pumped.
I can start moving in in July as thats when I get possesion.

Yup, thats my big news

John Perry

Yesterday as I was driving home from work, my car suddenly made this horrible noise, and then the air conditioning cut out. Ode to Joy. The noise won't stop, it feels like my car is falling apart. Bob says I need a new compressor. So that will be at least 500 bucks. Then he started listing off other things, and it could be closer to 1600.
I swear that the whole world wants me to just be broke and not succeed in life. I'm heart broken :( this really sucks.

A positive: went to Joe Dogs last night to watch the game with Amber, Kimmi, James, Josh, Matt, Cortlin and a couple of the dads haha. It was fun. The food was meh and the beer was cheap, but the company was good.
On the way to Joes Cortlin couldn't figure out which bar he thought we were going to, and he thought it was the Don Cherry bar. But me being a total idiot say "Are you thinking of the John Perry bar?"
Never gonna let me live that one down.

Two more days until the weekend.
I think that I can make it.

Oh, Kevin shaved his mustache off today haha. I didn't even recognise him when I came into work haha. Super looks good though.

Disassemble it all

This weekend had it's ups and downs. Friday was just chill, everyone seemed to have to work early the next morning do not much was accomplished. Although I did take Cortlin to this new restaurant Afghan. It's middle eastern food and also a hookah place at the same time. So it was kinda cool to be able to smoke that in public. After supper we just watched movies. Tada, that was Friday.
Well almost..

Saturday morning I woke up not too happy but I had promised to help mom with some yard stuff, so I went and did that with her and Bob. Then she dragged me to about seven furniture stores to look at kitchen tables because the lovely Kaylee decided to chew ours to splinters.

Sat night started with going to Aaron's house. He's a friend of Cortlin's from school. Man, those guys are just so nice. Especially his girlfriend, Tiffany. Even though I knew no one and it was somewhat awkward, it was still kinda nice.
Aorund nine I went and met the gang at Winstons for a few hours. Had nom nom spring rolls and a super shitty rye and coke .I don't know why I asked for rye. I don't ever drink it :( it sucked.
Then I went back to Aarons to pick up Cortlin, dropped him off and went home to play pokemon yellow on my bb for two hours haha.

Sunday I woke up early, and just wandered. I pretty much was all over the place. Bulk Barn, HomeSense, mall, bookstore, broadway roastery, Michaels.
Just didn't wanna stay in one place, was in a funny mood.
But on the plus I got supplies for my Europe scrapbook.
Yeah, I know, I haven't even gone yet. But I wanted to get a head start on getting the basics done.

Yeah, I accomplished not much this weekend.
I already wish this week was done. I want to go to the Hose on Friday.

46 days

Run to the Hills

I don't know what happened to this week, but I like it haha. I remember Tuesday like it was this morning, yet already it is Friday. This is thrilling :)
It was a pretty quiet week, with Cortlin being in Calgary with the bros. I spent alot of time at the Broadway Roastery on 8th. Three nights in a row I was there, just reading this stupid Atlas Shrugged booked. It is slowly drawing me in though, which is a relief.

Last night though Brittney was oh so lovely as to join me at the BR for our coffee date :)
It was great as always, plus we got to discuss Europe more and more (49 days!)

When I got home I got to talk to Liz for a while which was super awesome :) With her being in Calgary for the summer I get to talk with her less and less. But I'm going to make the effort to keep in touch and make a trip down there at least once this summer! I miss her dearly.

I am in a good mood this morning. Even though revenue canada has been sending me letters that make little to no sense...so I should probably make some phone calls.

Tonight, I am going to take Cortlin out for supper. I haven't told him where because I want it to be a surprise :)
Details later...

Sunny Days

Where do I even begin with this weekend?

Friday:
I was determined to end up at the bar at some point during the night, so I got all dressed up then picked up Boots and Cortlin and we went to James' for what was easily the greatest night we have had in ages.
His mom started to bring out all of the toys from his childhood like Skip-it and batons and chalk and a skooter and a rocket haha. Of course, with it being the rapture Josh and Johnny were drawing pentagrams all over the road. At one point I was tracing johnny in the middle of one when Josh was like OMG. We look up and theres a black cat just sitting there, batting at the air. So we lost our shit.
Enjoyed out time there until about eleven, then we all went to Belieys. It was ladies night, so all the girls got a flower and a glass of champagne. Hilah was working which is always awesome :)
Otherwise the bar was totally empty, but we all just owned the dancefloor anyway.
Cortlin was being mr.sad face so I took him home them went back for a bit, then drove Josh home and that was the end of the great night.

Saturday:
Started with Josh being brilliant and suggesting dim sum. So He, Cortlin and I went and did that. SO delicious.
After that Cortlin and I went to the mall because he needed new pants. Then watched Arrested Development until I had to go to my grandpa's to see my uncle who was in town for the weekend from Winnipeg. He's a different character.
After that I went back to James and we had a fire. But I didn't last long, I was tired as hell for some reason.

Man, I'm sick of writing haha. Sunday was Cortlin's BQQ. I went to go and see Your Highness, it was gay.
Monday I did nothing, and it was amazing.

Short work week!

Oh and the real itinerary went up. And this time it makes sense :)
52 days!

You can be so kind...sometimes

Last night I went to Amigos for supper with Brittney. Yeah, I know, jealous. It was so super delicious. I don't eat there enough I believe. Plus my date my hot.
:)

Got home, made butter tarts and watched Criminal Minds.

Britt txt me to say that our flight itinerary was up! Apparently we leave at 1:40 in the afternoon on the 15th, but then it says that the flight doesn't arrive in Toronto until 6 am? Which makes zero sense. So I hope that the GoAheadTour girl calls me back today and explains...
That'd be nice.

Tomorrow is Friday!
Long weekend!
Fuck ya!

Hey hey..My my

Yesterday dragged and dragged. I think that it had something to do with the sky being so grey and gloomy all day. But after work I went to toonie tuesday with Cortlin and we saw Paul.
It was....likeable. Not great, not bad. Just likeable. Not much else to say about it but on the way home all we did was talk about camping and mischief because the movie had alot of that. :)

Went home and gave Sam a call to do some catching up. Mostly about Vampire Diaries and all that is girly, but it was nice. June can't come fast enough!

This morning I woke up at 5:30 to go for a run haha. I haven't had time to do it at night this week, so I figure that this is the only way to get er done.
Today was the first day of just having Clayton and I in the office, and it's been pretty chill I must say. I love Clayton, where Cortlin's family has become my second family, Clayton and Danielle have become like a second aunt and uncle to me haha. So this week will be good.

Other then that, nothing interesting to report.
I hope there is a package for me to pick up when I get home, from Forever 21. Stupid impulsive purchase, but oh well.

Oh man, so Monday I decided to try and be creative with cooking again. Ended up stuffing chicken breats with cream cheese, tomatoes and...oysters haha. Then I put it in a casserole dish with oil and white wine in the bottom to kinda cook it in.
Man, as soon as I put it in the over I was like....I hate oysters...why the hell did I do that...this is going to be so god damn disgusting.
But it turned out suprisingly good.
Although I would never do it again haha

Time Flys when You Close ur Eyes

The phone keeps on ringing, and everytime I pick it up it's just dial tone. Keeps on happening...freaking me out a bit!

So this weekend was pretty excellent I must say.
Friday at work was great, because I did the April bank rec and it only took me 20 minutes, as apposed to the three weeks it took me to do the March one? So gay, but I am happy to be done.
After work Cortlin and I went to Athenas for supper. It was pretty meh if I do say so myself. Then we picked up the lovely Brittney and went over to Johnny's to pre-drink before Daft Punk at Scratch.
Overall it was a pretty good show. The music was awesome, but WAY TOO LOUD. I like loud music as much as the next young thang, but Friday night was just crazy. One guy was tripping out on either E or good times, but either way he didn't stop his violent dancing all night haha. I enjoyed him, Cortlin just wished he would get punched in the face.
The only bad thing about the show was the "DJs" themselves. It was a Daft Punk tribute band, but they didn't even try. They came out in snowmobile helmets and played off an ipod all night. So they suck as human beings, but the music made up for it.

Saturday morning my mom wanted me to go garage sale sailing with her :) I had more success then she did. Managed to find to men's sweaters that will be comfy as hell, and two vintage waist belts from some old lady near Broadway. All costing 2.50 haha.
Then I made the mistake of going to Tonic, where I got a couple cool pairs of pants for more then I wanted to spend :(
Went to the new Christies bakery on Broadway too. OMG. My mom and I sat in the car eating this fresh croissant and basically died it was so delicious.
Then I went to the Hendrik's with Cortlin's family for an amazing fish fry. Three kinds of fish, all so delicious. Marge made alcoholic smoothies as well, so so good.

After that everyone gathered at James' for the first firepit of the year :) Yay summer! I enjoyed it, it was a good time. But the best time had to be when I took Dave, Doug and Cortlin for Hot-N-Readys. Haven't laughed that hard in my life. The sass, the hate. Oh Doug :)

Sunday morning I had brunch with my dad at Kelly's. It was delicious but it took way too long to cook up just eggs and toast.
Then he took me outta town and showed me this cute little lake house he's thinking of buying. I was surprised that he wanted to move out of the city, but it;s gorgeous and I know he'll love it :)
Plus he said if his offer goes through, that I can bring all my friends up for a weekend and he'll gimme the keys. Bam.
Sunday night I had the intention of taking Cortlin to some secret spot for supper. But he decided to make me supper instead :) It was super delicious, BBQ steak :)
Nom Nom
Then we just watched Heroes. Haha, I've never seen it, but it's pretty damn good.

I looked at my calendar this morning when I got into work, and I can't believe it's already May 16th!
60 days until Europe.
3 months until I'm done working at Shear Fab.
and then school?

Good Lord.

Glee: a breakdown

This one goes out to Josh, as per his request.

So last night I was working out and Glee was on, so I watched it. Before I can begin on the horror that was this episode, I must first recap the rise and fall of Glee, seasons 1 and 2.
Season 1 started out really good. The songs were done in their own original way, and the character development was believable. Plus the humor was kick ass and non stop. It addressed pretty much every highschool challenge that we've almost all have been through.
Then we get to season two. The number of songs per episode went from 6 to 2 or 3, and they seemed to be just karaoke versions of the originals.
Then suddenly Sanatana reveals she's a lesbian, out of no where. Maybe I was the only one who was shocked, but really. It was a bit much. Ever since then, that's all that the episodes seem to focus on, gay/lesbian relationships. Not that I have anything against the subject, it just seemed a bit much.
Storylines are also crumbing around any other character, it's just hard to watch now.
Like for example, what's up with Finn's character? He was the cookie cutter good guy, sweet and thoughtful. And it worked. But in season two he goes into sudden asshole mode where he gets Quinn to cheat on Sam with him. And not one shit is given by him. It's just not like his character...

But you know when I reached my breaking point?
When, in last night's episode, they sang Rebecca Black's Friday song. Really? Really guys?
I don't know if it was meant to be hip or funny...but in an episode that featured Adele and Christina Perri who are legit and really good artists...I'm just like...urgh. You paid money...really money to Rebecca Black just so you could make me loose all faith in pretty much everything. It wasn't even funny to watch....just painful.
Let's not forget the cherry on top, which was the two minutes of going from crying character to crying character as they complained about how much prom sucked and how first thing on Monday they were going to transfer schools due to humiliation.
Shoot me.
Just...shoot me.

Sorry Glee, but I think that it's time that we saw other people.
I'm tradin up.
