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?

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!?!?!
