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.
