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.

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!
