Midterms, I defeated you

So I just finished my last midterm today, and by some magic I got all my marks back in less than an hour? Passed em all with flying colors. So thats a huge weight off my shoulders. :)

Yesterday was my first day of training at the Knotted Thistle which is a Celtic pub opening up in Regina next week. Man, this place kicks ass. It has the best variety of scotch, whiskey and bourbon in Regina apparently. AND it has yard glasses, which are these things...

60 oz of beer, and i hear almost impossible to finish without wearing half of it.
But yeah, the pub is super badass. Second night of training is tonight and I get to pretty much eat the menu, and test all the beers and wines. Yes please.

Cortlin came down for Valentines Day :) We had a pretty chill night. Went to Beer Bros which is a fancy restaurant that instead of recommending wine pairings with your meal, they recommend beer pairings. So that was pretty fun.
I had blue cheese and mushroom gnocchi :) so nom nom.
Then we went and visited Kayla's new puppy Daigoro, whom Cortlin renamed and got to respond to Diglet. What a cute ass puppy though. Mini dashound

Tomorrow I may or may not have anatomy? My teacher is being very vague about it all.

And with this new job I'm worried about how much time I am going to have to come home for the break, I'll have to check out the schedule tonight. BUT Josh, I promise I will be home for your birthday. Cross my heart!

Floating on Through

Time has been passing quite quickly. On Friday all I had was anatomy, and we got to dissect and eyeball :) As a matter of fact, it was really fun. Kirston managed to squirt herself in the face with some eyeball fluid haha. But ya, if you ever have a chance to dissect an eye, do it. Very interesting.

After that I went back home for the weekend with Kayla. Johnny, Matt, Brittney, Cortlin and I went to see the Woman in Black. I enjoyed it, although it didn't scare me quite as much as I had hoped it would. Still, go see it.
FUN FACT: The original Woman in Black's main character arthur was played by the man who played James Potter in Harry Potter. And Daniel Radcliffe got to play arthur in the remake. Lolz

After the movie we all went to Boston Pizza for some grub. Amber and Boots joined us as well which was lovely.
Then I went home, got changed into dance wear, grabbed Kayla, then headed over to Ambers. We chilled there for a while then went to Tequila haha. Props to Johnny and Matt for coming, I know how much you guys love and adore Tequila. It was ok, way too dead though.

Saturday I got up and went to go see Curtis and Marge who had just gotten back from Jamaica. So we visited for a while then I had to head back to meet up with my mom and Kayla for our girls shopping day.
Got a new blazer, in nude. So now I have a nude, black, and rust one. Holy
Also got another faux leather jacket, this one is goldy.
AND, a faux fur vest. Its Kaylas enemy haha she hates it. I've wanted one forever though, although I'm not sure when I will be able to wear it haha. I WILL MAKE IT WORK.

Took a nap and then woke up to the most delicious dinner curtosy of my mother. Roast chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn and gravy. Ugh, so good.
Then I met up with a bunch of the bros at Osheas for a couple of casual drinks, but I think i had a bit of the itis, cause i found it difficult to stay awake.

So Cortlin and I just went to my house and watched Star Trek.
Correction
I watched star trek
Cortlin just snored in my ear haha

Sunday morning we had brunch with my dad at Original Joes, which is always lovely. Ran a few errands with Cortlin, then I was on the road and back in Regina by six.

Today I had my first midterm, for Interpersonal Partnerships. It was one of those tests that almost insults you based on how easy it was. Here was one of the questions.........

A sign that alerts a seasoned nurse that a nursing student lacks professionalism is:
A)He charts clearly and correctly
B)He talks about personal client information with his classmates
C)He shows up on time to work, tidy and ready
D)He has a pleasant attitude

REALLY?!?!?!

We also got to watch the videos of ourselves in mock counselling sessions that we made last week haha. I can't stand the sound of my own voice on camera.

But yes, that is my update
:)
