{..::Topic::..}: Two in a Row

Oh right, here's more. So yesterday I was in the OR and the funniest thing happened. First we were told we weren't needed in there any more, so we left. Got back to the portables room and wouldn't you know it, they'd called us back, so we go back. Fluoro'd (motion x-rays, checking to make sure lines are in proper areas and such) for a few minutes and then were told they were finished. We unplug everything and get half the equipment out and low and behold, we get "wait, I think we'll need you." LOL It was getting annoying but not in a horrible hating the surgeon kind of way. So we hauled it back in, plugged it all back in and such and fluoro'd again, but this time we didn't leave until they were really sure they were finished. It was funny by the end. We spent a while in there though. It's actually really interesting being in there and such. Equipment is a pain in the ass to get in the room and such (let's hope the newer equipment is better come spring). So yes that was my funny thing. Although I know I had a better thing to say, I'm blanking (blame my schooling!) hehe.

Oh and I'm really excited. Roswell first season is being released on DVD in February, yippee skippee. Although I've heard there are music changes (which sucks and will change the show a bit - grr to the music industry). But yay roswell dvds!!

{..::Topic::..}: No Longer Pretty In Pink

Well I must take away my blog queen status. I jinxed myself, for I have not posted in more than a week. Tsk, tsk. But sadly enough, life shall proceed without a blink of the eye. So how am I? I'm doing ok right now. Got over my little quarter life breakdown for the time being, but I'm getting better, depending on the day. It ok though.

Not much going on. Preparing for the horrid horrid 3 hour exam next week. I cannot stress how nervous I am about it. It's awful, and of course as of yesterday I've not been in the mood to study, I'm seriously getting lazier and lazier. On top of that I have logbooks tomorrow and do you think I've pulled any of my films to review yet? No, of course not! GRR. I'm screwed again. But on another note, my first week of evenings won't be until the end of January, rather than in December. Yay! An extra month of dreading, woo hoo. It's about to be a bumpy ride next term. We get weekends, evenings, children's hospital rotation, seminars, more tests and exams and papers all due. It's going to kill me. AHHH!!!!!!!!!!

*deep cleansing breath* think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts...puppies, rainbows....oh screw it, I'm doooooooooomed!!!! *pulling of hair commences* ok I digress...

I did have a sort of rant for today, but I can't remember it unforunately. Lucky for all zero readers though. mwhaha But I'm exhausted so i'm heading to bed. Later.

{..::Topic::..}: I am the ranting blog queen!

Conclusion time. Time sucks. Seriously I need more time. Actually today I got to go to school for 0900. Doesn't that rule? Ok it does for me. I got to sleep in later and everything. The only part that sucked what I spent the whole day in the classroom taking notes (so not a pretty thing). Oh well. As a result I came home at 5:30 and couldn't get in the mood to do any homework. I tried, honestly but it was too hard. Not it's almost 10 and I have two weeks until the big test, I'm screwed again. On that note though, I got an extra percent on my previous test, yay! Now I went up a full grade (I think, can't recall the exact mark from before, but I'm sure it was a something-9 percent). So yay!

Not all that much more to report on. Nothing much going on here. Homework, homework and pondering life, as always. But I did start on portables this week. I'm finally on my own again in the department, well just no other students with me. Kind of nice, but we'll see how I think by Friday. Unforunately for me I get some not-so-great co-workers this week, well that's not quite true. They're just a little harsh and short with us, forgetting we're learning and aren't as familiar with the equipment as they are. It's natural to them and they sort of forget or rather take for granted that we're learning. It's all part of the learning process though. Sadly the new fantastic portable machine we had on load left yesterday. Boo! Hopefully the hospital buys those ones, they had pretty buttons and shiny colors and flashing colors lol. All sparkly and shiny, lol. Oh well more to report after tomorrow. I guess that will be my first full day on portables this week. Hmm, wonder what I'll see in the operating room tomorrow. Yesterday I saw a pacemaker and a hand operation, or rather a part of the operations. It's so different than you expect or see on tv (imagine that!, lol). It's cool though. So very interesting. I'm actually glad I didn't really see in the patient though. Hard to explain everything that goes on there, but it's all very interesting. FYI I might not be saying that by Friday. Everyday at the hospital changes, moods change and feelings change. Still have drop-out feelings though, but it's not just me. We're all burnt out already. Tomorrow is our big study group thing, here's hoping it works good *crosses fingers, toes, etc...*

Side note my dog is officially retarded. The phone just rang and she has started to bark at the phone. *shakes head at dog* Sad, sad animal is she.

Well I do type a lot on these things, I should get a prize for it! That or maybe I should just post more... nah! This is worst!bwhahaha, like the whole zero people that visit have an opinion.

On that note. Friends. I was thinking today how fickle people are. My classmates especially. Get this they mock people for backstabbing and talking behind backs and yet again they were doing that. Also projecting their feelings on the rest of us, like we should share those feelings. That annoys me. Personally if the person in subject has always been nice to me, why should I adopt the thought of not liking them because they may have disagreed with the third party. I just don't like that. I'll like or not like whomever I please depending on how I view them, etc.. Friday will be brutal though. Our whole class is meeting for some meet the first year students and then having our own meeting for whatever reason and all hell is going to break loose. Like I said though, the minute that meeting goes into who-did-what-to-whom-and-when etc. I'm out of there. It's just all stupid. I swear my class is like a soap opera, still. It doesn't matter that we're split up into 5 hospitals, they're still all bickering *shakes head at the thought*, so immature. Oh well, that's life :)

{..::Topic::..}: Emergency Rooms Suck

Well I've been a busy little bee. Monday was filled with Buffy game playing. Side note that game is fun, but has no cheats, boo! lol Ok ok but it's really cool, except the Willow voice is just a bit too annoying for me but w/e. Oh and here's the fun part, I tripped on my pants going up my stairs and slammed my hand into the railing, man that hurt. It was still hurting on Tuesday so I dragged my ass downstairs to emergency to get it looked at because the swelling, stinging and bruising didn't bod well. I'd have prefered to see my doctor but they couldn't fit me in, the bastards! Any ways I put my name down and then went to class because as if they'd get me within an hour or less. Wouldn't you know it I didn't get seen until 6:30. I'd put my name down at 12:45, how screwed up is that? I returned to emerg by 4:15 and still had to wait more than 2 hours. I didn't even leave the hospital until 8 o'clock at night. I was exhaused. I'd just spent 12 hours at the hospital and what did I have? No broken fingers but just some nerve irritation/damage slightly. GRRR!!! Oh well, at least they x-rayed it and we're certain there was no break. Just lots of pain, so I'm still having to ice it and take advil to control the pain. But think about it? How many people trip going UP the stairs and slam their hands backwards into the railing. hehe I'm quirky, this goes along with my jumping the coffee table and tearing the ligaments at the top of my foot a few years back. hehe. So yeah that was my early week. Plus you must keep in my mind I'm at wit's end with school right now. This last test was brutal, holy crap. There were only 3 or 4 people who achieved marks higher than 70%. Imagine that? Horrid. So I had to sit in emerg dwelling on how my test mark dropped 7% because they took out questions on the test. I was pissed. Didn't bode well. Oh well, I'm over it now.
So tonight is Trevor's football game at the Stadium. Should be cool, except the weather is freezing out there and I'm frozen already, yikes!! Oh well here's hoping Old Navy is open 'cause I want some shirts! YAY!!! So I'm off to go to the game. Here's hoping they win but damn them maplers (? what do you call maple people? maplers? maplians? clueless here) they're dirty! grr. Toodles

{..::Topic::..}: Fun Times

So yay it's ALIAS night, and I rented the new Buffy game for gamecube! Woo hoo!!! Plus I got a free muffin and a new mouse for the computer so even more yay! How cool is that? I haven't tried the buffy game yet, *glares at the pile of papers for oral report* but I will get there soon. Plus it's ALIAS time right now, sweet!!! I just can't say how much I love this show, even if it confuses the hell out of me and infuriates me at times, it rocks! Any ways I just wanted to be gleeful in my renting of the newer buffy video game. Toodles!!

{..::Topic::..}: Annoyances and wishing tests didn't exist

Well I wrote my test or exam or whatever you want to call it. Personally I prefer horrible-life-draining-bullshit but that's me. Needless to say it was massively brutal. Even that seems like an understatement. It just makes me more mad thinking about it now. I pretty much failed it, which completely sucks. Now I have to met with the instructor and crap *rolls eyes* 'cause you know I just am dumb and stuff. Seesh. Okay maybe, just maybe she'll be able to help but I doubt it. It's just way too much information for me to know and study. I just can't wait for the exam in November (gee, can you hear the sarcasm there?). I'm literally pulling out my hair right now due to frustration. Ugh!!! I'm far too stressed and emotional right now. I even hung up on my mom after school. How bad is that? I'm just mad and annoyed. These tests are made up of stupid questions, we're told certain things aren't on the test and wouldn't you know it like 10 questions at least were on the stuff we didn't know or were told weren't included. That's what pisses me off. Whatever those. Clinical instructors should just burn, that's it! Then techs are complaining we're reading to much (studying because the ward is dead but that's inconsequential obviously, it just means we're lazy and stuff). I'm really questioning why I'm in the program right now. GRRR!! *deep cleansing breath...* Then not only did we not get to write the test first thing in the morning we decided to have an hour long discussion before the test, so we didn't even start until 10am, how messed up is that???!?!?!?! That's twice they've screwed us over. Not to mention that at all sites they get regular classes. Bitches!! *another deep cleansing breath*.....

So our exchange ended today. Our student left to go back to Switzerland today. It was sad though. He was a good kid, except for all the porn sites visited. I didn't get to say good-bye though. That kind of upset me because he was like another brother and I didn't get to say bye or anything. I wrote a little thing on the card we gave him, but it's not the same. All because of that stupid test I didn't get to see him off or say good-bye. DAMN you RRC!!! But now the computer is mine. mwwhahahaha. Of course I still expect him to come around the corner and stuff but sadly it'll be like he was never here. It's really strange to go near his room and see it so empty. It's hard and sad but at least he enjoyed his experience, even though he didn't exactly see much 'cause he was lazy but whatever :)

Ever notice how when you're studying, someone just has to come around and ruin it for you? Well I swear for this test I was doomed not to study. I had visitors stopping by all weekend, Japanese exchange students coming in and out, phone ringing off the hook since Friday and all this crap. So of course studying was pushed by the wayside and boy did I pay for that. But it's not like I didn't study, I just didn't thoroughly study what the test mostly consisted. But out of 8 courses, how do you decide which is more important to know or what? Whatever. Any ways, I sitting at the kitchen table (away from all distrations I might add) and of course my dad decides "Hey, I think I should clean up the kitchen and make as much noise as I can." Worst is he told me to leave because he'll make too much noise. Well where the hell was I supposed to go and study? GRRR!!! MEN!!!! It's times like that where I wish I never get married. I had to put up with more than hour of clanking and scrubbing and telling me to go to bed that I'd studied enough (obviously I was right in telling him I wasn't after the results). GRRR! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! All I ask for is quiet and leave me alone when I'm studying. But not even that was respected, totally pissed me off last night. But I digress...Tomorrow is another day and hopefully it will be a million times better than today (that would just involve not misty when exiting the school). Man I need a vacation...

{..::Topic::..}:

Canadian Geese Suck



As per title, geese are evil spawns of the devil. Yes, and I'll tell you why. I woke up this morning, just like any another Saturday morning. Thrilled there was no school, just studying expected. Instead I woke up to be told I had to bathe the dog. Turns out she decided to go and rub herself in a lot of shit-geese shit to be exact. Isn't that what you want to do first thing in the morning. It was awful. She had a horrible odor to her and she was completely covered in the crap. That was an adventure. At least now she's back to white and smelling as good as a dog can smell. It's all good.
That was just the beginging of my day. It didn't exactly get much better. More exchange BS, what else. If it's frustrating me, I can't imagine how my horrid my mom feels. It's just wearing thin. Only a few more days and then it should alright again. I can't wait.
So the procrastinator in me is popping out again. The older I get, the more lazy I get at studying, it's horrible. I actually sat down in a room with little distrations and wouldn't you know it, my aunt stops by with my cute little baby cousin. Of course I couldn't study at that point. I hadn't seen the little guy since July, he'd grown so much. So studying flew by the wayside. I'm completely screwed for this test now. I wish I weren't a procrastinator. I should be studying now, but this is much more appealing. How bad is that? Yikes! I'm so doomed it's not even funny. I need a massive miracle now. So I must go and study again.....
