Blogging is Hard

Man, where did I leave off?

James' birthday weekend was awesome, we went to the Skuz which was packed for some odd reason? I had fun though, drank too much, which is always fun.
The next day I stayed in and watched a movie with my parents. I dont remember which movie but I want to say.....The Help? No that was over Christmas.
Anyway.

School is school

Two weekends ago I went out with one of my new favorite people, Kristin, from my class. She's amazing. We met up with her boyfriend and his friends then went to The Owl which is the campus bar and just got shitty. It was super fun, her friends are awesome. On the way home we stopped at BK for the Original Chicken sandwich because apparently it is offensive that I have never had one. And you know what? It was amazing. Could have tasted better due to the booze i had drank, but either way. I loved it.
The next night I went with my roommates down to MooseJaw to go to the spa for a nice swim. It was relaxing. Plus after I got boston pizza so that always makes me happy.

School was school.
I passed my first anatomy exam!!!!! hoorah

This weekend I drove all the way over to Burstall SK to go see my bb. Cortlin just moved into his house so I had to go look at it and judge how it smelled like man. We drove to Medicine Hat to get tons of house shit on Friday, but other then that we were super chill. Just watched movies, played mortal combat (i know, even i played, kill me) and cooked copious amounts of bacon wrapped water chestnuts. It was grand, it was a pretty shitty deal when I had to leave Monday morning.
Oh, his house is haunted btw.

But this week is almost over ish. In Interpersonal relationships on Monday we were videotaped counselling each other, which I hate because I cant stand the sound of my own voice on recordings.
Today we learned more about babies.

And I had a job interview at this pub called the Knotted Thistle. Its a freaking four part hiring process and today was part two. The first part was a phone interview, then a face to face interview where they took my picture etc, next is references, then the fourth is a mystery.
Anyway, this pub doesnt open up until mid February. But I must get this job.
Why?
Because its an Irish pub and the uniform involves a kilt. Fuck ya.
Fingers. Are. Crossed.

I;m skeptical though.

Ugh, time to go and get groceries.

The day the Cows ran Away

Bet you think my title has something to do with my blog post.
Well
It doesnt.
Just came to me.

This week has freaking flown by. Monday I learned nothing, got home and went to sleep.
Tuesday I had Healthy Development so we learned about what happens to the female body during pregnancy. If that doesn't cement my legs shut, then sweet lord nothing will. Sounds shitty, looks shitty. No fucking thanks.
After that a bunch of us ladies went over to the UofR campus and went to The Owl for lunch. Kayla joined us and I had delicious sweet potato fires. Probably the best I've ever had. We discussed much important things, like stupid B and living arrangements for next fall. I had fun x 10 :) But then I had to spend 600 bucks on a class i dont even want to take, so the fun ended there.

Wednesday was my first day of our second clinical rotation. This time its pretty low key, and focus; on the relationship aspect of our jobs. SO they set us up with an elderly man or woman and we just have to become bestest friends :)
I was assigned to a gentleman from Rome. Thick accent, total womanizer, amazing. I plan on discussing my summer travels to Rome with him much. But I got to go around and meet the otehr residents. man, they are all so cute and nice. It'll be fun.
Then I went to Coda because I enjoy looking at all the beautiful clothes I will never be ab;e to afford haha. The girl behind the counter brought her dog who is a black corgie/basset hound. SO CUTE. looks like a mini black lab for some reason, with a hot dog looking body.

This morning all I had was physical assessment, which is basically a class dedicated to helping us practice for the OSCE which stands for Objective Structured Clinical Exam. Its a 30 min head to toe general physical exam that we have to perform on a client in April in front of our teachers. High pressure, pass or fail. So its stressful.

Tomorrow I am excited for though. I have class until noon then I am catching a flight back to Saskatoon. Yes. I said flight. How lazy am I?
But Bob had a ticket credit that expires at the end of the month so he suggested I use it. It'll be weird getting home in like half an hour haha.
But then we shall celebrate James' birthday :)
can not wait.
must dance

Why so lonely blog?

Holy shit its almost been a month since I last blogged.
Well, heres a quick recap of what I did over the Christmas break:

- I DID pass anatomy. fuck yeah
-Went to Medicine Hat to visit Cortlin
- Got the mukluks I wanted
- Got a 32 gig Ipod touch. ballin
- Ate lots
- Didn't sleep enough
- Best potluck ever
- Spent love time with Sam
- Bitchin New Years

And thats about it. Now I'm back in school and, man, its crazy already. My classes include:
1. Interpersonal Relationships
2. Anatomy
3. Physical Assessment
4. Human Development
5. Indigenous Studies

I'm pumped about all of them except for indigenous. Its an online course and just doesn't interest me at all. There, I said it.

Already I'm in clinical setting on Tuesday which blows my mind. I'm at a place called Dove House which I'm assuming is long term care again. I get to dress casual though because its more relationship based rather than medical practice.

I just finished applying for some care aid positions as well. Christmas killed my VISA so I need to take care of that ASAP.
So hopefully that happens quickly.

and thats that
