{..::Topic::..}: Rumor's Rocked

Grudgingly I dragged my butt to Rumor's last night. Of course it would have looked bad if I didn't show up and my family did, especially seeing how I had all of their tickets. hehe. It was worth it though. Ryan Belleville was hiliarious. The first two were funny as well. It was well worth the $10. I still ended up with one ticket extra, but oh well.

Got another comp today. YAY!! One of the techs came up to me today and asked me if I just went on a comp spree because now I only have 3 left. I actually got my skull comp. I'm so happy, that one worried me. They were almost perfect. One of the images could have been better but considering the patient it was good. Seems to be a trend with me, but oh well, at least I have it. Sweet!

Busy times up ahead. Yikes! Let's just hope I don't slack on my studying, because I need it.

{..::Topic::..}: He actually did shave it off

Yes you heard me!! James Marster.....yummmmm Jammmmmessssssss Maarrrrrrrrrrssssssssssssstttttttttterrrrrrrs...... *drool*

Ok ok, where was I? Right James Marsters. I actually tuned into On Air with Ryan Seacrest to watch James Marsters shave his hair off. He did have a good cause and he raised $25,000 doing it, so yay for him :) I thought the segment was far too short, but the end results where pretty good. He's not bald (thank god!), just a brush cut. Still looks amazing though :)

Funny thing was he also appeared on Sharon Osbourne recently, obviously before yesterday. I say this because I saw a little bit of him on the SO show and he had all of his bleached hair, where as yesterday I watched him, live, shave his hair off. It was amusing to me. I'm just mad I forgot to set up the VCR for that one, oh well her show reairs a few days later on TalkTV so I'll catch it then. At least I caught the few seconds he was on air shaving his hair off. But he did give hope that there were talks about him playing Spike again (phew! no spike death or maybe re-re-death, right?).

Rumor's tomorrow.... Another event with my class, oh *insert emotionless monotone voice* yippee skipee, I am so excited *remove voice*

Wedding shower this Saturday night. Should be fun, there is going to be Henna. All sounds like fun. Plus it's the first wedding shower for an actual friend of mine, not just a cousin or friend of the family. Very surreal.

Studying, lots of that to do. Plus I have another wedding shower next week, and I just found out that I have another cousin's first birthday party the weekend before the exam. I am seriously starting to get freaked out. So much rides on this exam, it's not even funny. Not to mention that I still have to get 3 more comps. Oh yeah that's right I got two more comps this week. *crosses fingers* hopefully I will get my skull this week.

Plus there is Alias this Sunday *pouts* then nothing until the season finale on May 23. GRR!!! *shakes fists at ABC* damn you and you're playing of Harry Potter and others after that. Alias is far more important than that. CURSE YOU!!!

Any ways, I'm tired and I think I'll go and read a bit later gators.

{..::Topic::..}: People at movies are funny

Well I went and saw "13 Going on 30." It was cute and enjoyable. A little refreshing from some of the crap out there. One of the highlights included when people in the audience were crying, no joke. They were actually sobbing and saying how sad it was. One girl was actually sobbing in an almost hysterical way. Only problem is that it wasn't THAT sad. I don't even think it was sad at all. It was amusing to both Chrissy (no, not me, the other one) and I. Reminds me of all the times that I've seen movies where people have applauded the film. That has always driven me nuts. The most vivid memory I have is when I was D2, and people were just clapping them as if they were real. Just too funny to me. But I digress...

It was good though. The lead guy was cute in a scruffy way. Very enjoyable....

Then after leaving the movie there were girls around 14 that were wearing short pleaded skirts. Seriously, why do you need to wear clothing like that if you're only seeing a movie, what is this world coming to. The younger girls get the less clothing they are wearing. At this rate my unborn 5 year old is already a tramp because she'll be wearing clothes like that by that age. How sad is that that my 5 year old is a tramp and she's not even born, what a shame...

Oh and in other news, I've lost my wallet. Oh, I'm just having a wonderful day. I only figured it out minutes before I was to go to the movies. I still haven't found it and I've torn apart the house so I have no clue and quite pissed off about it. I assume it's in the other car *crosses fingers* here's hoping.

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

Back to my ranting...

Actually no, I'm just thrilled it's the weekend. I didn't get any more comps today though, but I was sort of screwed because the techs there so whatever. Oh well.

Nothing interesting to say though, just sore from my workout...so i think i'll go and find something else to do...maybe ALIAS!!!!!

{..::Topic::..}: My family is obviously on crack!

Another startling conclusion... my family is seriously retarded.

First my mom tells me how my dad has this "brilliant" for me going to Brandon. He's great idea is that I take my mom's car and drive out there. *gasp* What a shock!!... The man's an idiot sometimes. I have no idea what he thought I meant when I said I didn't have a car, d'uh. But he's male so we have to humour him and make him think that's the greatest idea in the world. Seesh.

Then my parents were bickering in the kitchen about something, then my brother was involved and it was just a mess. They're all nuts. Days like these make me count the days until I can move out (only a year). Yup, I've decided that by this time next year I want to be looking for another place to live. Of course that won't happen, but I can dream right?

But the dinner bell tolls so I must go and become jabba....

{..::Topic::..}: What? Only three Aliases left?

Yes I just came this stunning conclusion. Only three episodes, unless they do a 2 hour season finale, then there are only two left. ACK!! What am I going to do? I'll go mad this summer.

In other news, got another comp today. I actually stayed an hour LATER to get it. I lost my precious study time to do my comp. I did try for another but it's not really what the requirements were, so I have to run it by my CI. Of course she'll say no but whatever. Friday I for sure have to get my stretcher chest comp, hopefully a little kid will need an xray (I missed one today because I was upstairs doing another exam I needed just for logbook). Grr!! Oh well no biggie.

So it's spring, which brings me to an interesting topic. The bunny mofia. Yes, you heard me right. The bunny mafia has returned. I found one of the mofia just recently. I have to protect my dog and train her to protect us again. I swear my house is cursed with crazy animals. Last year we had the squirrel that was in love with me, the dumbass robin and of course the bunny mafia. See the squirrel tried to get into my room, I woke up one day to find the squirrel hanging from the screen on my window, very frightening. The robin was an idiot that kept flying into my brother's window. It would spend hours upon hours banging into his window. Now the mafia is back and I can only wait to see what new creatures will be "visiting" us.

Oh well, so tomorrow shall be "fun" because it's the whole class together, yikes!

Any ways I'm off to do some studying. Laters.

{..::Topic::..}: Damn you tv table

Clusmy me, strikes again.

So after another enlightening dinner that ended in me slamming a door at my dumbass father, I ended up bruising up my foot. See I have a tv stand next to my door and with the vibrations and whatnot from the slam the table came flying down right on top of my foot. Major pain has ensued and ice is not helping. Now it's swollen and turning to a nice bruise. This day just keeps getting better.

Ok my day started out fine....
Got to school normal time and then went to the designated room I was supposed to. Of course I've been getting trained on how to work the new digital equipment (which is a blast, plus I got a comp yesterday). But they double booked us today so some of the techs were a little disgruntled and us students eventually just admitted defeat and went to fluoro aprons, as per CI. So i've had barely any time in the new room, and it was a complete waste of my time today. Just totally pissed me off.

Then I find out I still have no ride to Brandon's seminar in may. Neither does lynn and she's worried that her car will crap out or something. But of course everyone else's car is full, so we're screwed. My dad is being a total prick about it, blaming the school and how it's their responsibilty and how we shouldn't have to go to Brandon (regardless that the brandon students have had to come in all the time). Huge fight ensued at the dinner table and me slamming door, and you know the rest.

Plus after a few hours of arriving at home after school, I fall ill. So I try to read but I got so dizzy that I slept for over an hour on the couch, if not more. Any one who knows me, knows I don't like taking naps because I feel worse thereafter. Of course I do. So I feel like I've been ran over by a semi, then I go and smack my foot up. Just wonderful, eh?

Our little grad t-shirt fundraising is a bit of a mess too, but then again anything to do with our grad is a huge mess. Now they're trying to set it up that as a class we go to Celebrations or Murder on the Menu for dinner. I seriously don't care anymore, they are annoying me and not making me want to do anything with them. Of course that is being taken as I don't care about any of it and stupid crap like that. They all seriously need to grow up. Then tomorrow I have to phone my relatives to see if they are still interested in going to our Rumor's grad fundraiser, next week so that I can pay for all my tickets this thursday at another seminar. Mayheim I tell you, mayheim.

Needless to say my day has not been productive or all that great.

{..::Topic::..}: Pyjama days rule!

I just adore pyjama days. Those lazy Sunday days are the best, they always make me feel so comfy and relaxed, until I remember I have to go to school the next day, but regardless I love them.

Well the fondue seems to have been a success, as was the social. Of course the music was the worst, but we all seemed to have a good time. When my parents finally arrived home after me they had their arms filled with bread, meats and desserts. I guess we missed out on that. At least I got the leftovers today. Plus my brother won a silent auction prize with a hammock, so yay I finally have a hammock to use in the summer time. Always a good thing.

Hmm so it's alias night. Of course I haven't watched it yet. I could have watched the episode at 8 but I was afraid if I started it dinner would be called. As it stands I haven't been called yet so I could have watched it without interruption. Oh well, I'll just wait until the VCR is completed and watch it with no commerical breaks. It's all good.

Plus Angel starts again tomorrow, for the remaining last 6 episodes ever. Don't really know what to expect but I shall find out.

Oh well I still have some organizing to do in my room, so I shall go off and do that. Ciao.

{..::Topic::..}: I have comments

Yay I have comments....took me long enough to notice though.... *hangs head in shame again* Damn you school *shakes fist angrily @ RRC*

Well seeing how I'm waiting for my printer to slowly print my research paper. Ok if I didn't have to print 2 copies (@ 16 pages each) I wouldn't be here until I'm 80.

Yay 1:03 am and it finally finished the first copy.

So I haven't been here for almost a week. Scary.

Well no more comps yet. I've screwed up some and been screwed over by some. Some use my clinical instructor(CI) is *grr* I'm seriously having no luck lately and it's frustrating. People were surprised I didn't get the one I tried for today, but whatever if my CI is going to be anal find so be it. It's just the worst feeling when you're almost last in your class (or last at your base sites). Although some that actually have all of their comps, or the majority of them, they are still not fully competent. Our comps only really show that you were competent for that one x-ray though. So whatever. But I'm still mad at her for earlier. Then the one from last week that was like a deer in the headlights when it comes to comps was like that again earlier this week. Some use she is. GRR.

Oh well, it's almost Saturday. Yay!!! Fondue and Social... yay... Damn you liver because getting drunk at some point this weekend would be appealing. I just hope this cold or allergies thing I have goes away 'cause I feel like crap some of the time. Plus I'm so stressed out about my comps that I don't sleep well at night, thus I'm not getting all the sleep I require. Obviously I won't be getting any good sleep tonight either. I seriously did not think I'd be here all night working on the damn thing. I better get a good mark! Although I've heard that the CI's are hard asses and think they are English Professors. So all chances of me getting more than 80 are out.

GRRR..


{............[!~*~!]............[!~*~!]............}


{..::Topic::..}: Whew!

So it's almost 1 am and I just finished my project. It's sure a good thing I was pretty much finished on Monday, eh? *shakes head is disgust* I've been sitting here (no joke) for over 10 hours. I didn't think editing a bit more of my paper and images would take this friggin long. Yikes!! But yay it's finished....next I have to make it into a 15 minute presentation. The fun just does not end in this course....I wish I could get drunk, life might seem more fun.

well I'm spent...

{..::Topic::..}: Never a comment

I've just noticed that I've never had a comment once. BOOOOO!!


oh and I just read something I thought was funny. The 80s cartoon "Jem" is coming to DVD. It just goes to show that ANY tv show can become dvd. Although shows like Jem can be released, and others that are popular arent, hmmm....
{............[!~*~!]............[!~*~!]............}


{..::Topic::..}: Woo-hoo I'm 108 words closer to being done

One week until my research paper is done. What needs to be done, you might ask? Well everything. Actually I have written a whole 108 words in half an hour. So roughly this whole thing should take (108 per 30 minutes, with 2500 words being needed in total, gives you 2500 divided by 108 give me 23 so 23 times 30 gives me 690 minutes, which is roughly 11 and a half hours to write the whole paper). LOL Talk about having too much time on my hands. Now I think that's all correctly calculated but I'm not exactly dwelling on it making sure it's perfect.

Actually it won't take me as long as that. I was only writing it out, when I get home I'll beable to type type type until my little heart is content. It's flowing good, so that's all that really matters. Then I get to insert images, and eventually I'm going to have to make a powerpoint presentation to present to my evil class, but that's not for awhile.

Other than that...

Oh well we review our tests today. I went up a whole 1 percent. lol Well one extra is better than losing a lot, right? At least I had 7% higher than the class average so that makes me happy.

Then another huge "discussion" occured around our selling of t-shirts. I swear this becomes more messy each time we bring it up. So damn annoying. Now they want to sell sweatpants. So another girl and I were saying "what's next? Underwear? headbands?" they're all unbelievable. They'd rather sell sweatpants (which you could only really wear around the house) than long sleeve shirts. They're all insane!!!But I digress...

As per Theresa's post (yay she finally has posted) come to my cousin's social. Loads of cool prizes are up for grabs. Just $10 a ticket. Oh and if you want the fondue (we'll work out the details about whether before, after, or whatever later...but it'll be fun) I'll either way provide transportation to the social, so really there can only be four. That way you're free to drink whatever makes your heart content. Just let me know because that's only a week away and I need to know if I need more tickets or whatnot.

I can't believe it's almost Easter though. Where did this year go? I dreaded that test and now it's gone, the paper seemed so far away and now it's only a week away. It's crazy, now I know I'm getting old, ahhh!!!

Oh well I go and eat dinner or I'll have to return to my post and be starving all night. Ok well I'm really done at like 8:45 so I'd only be starving until then. Well I guess there are brownies in the area (thanks to me *grin* I've been bringing in baking since the let me go early on Monday) oh well whatever... Catch ya later!!

oh yeah and theresa we'll see eachother soon, don't worry you'll get sick of me soon enough...mwhahahahaha!!!!

{..::Topic::..}: Why can't it be Thursday ?

Well it's Wednesday night and I'm at school. Usually I don't post anything from here, but I'm just not in the mood to do anymore research during my dinner break. I've only been here for 3 hours and still have just under five to go and I'm exhausted. Yikes! I've been spoiled this week by getting out by before 9 instead of 11:45, I don't see how I'll last tonight.

Busy day so far though. Crawled out of bed, went to the eye doctor, bought new glasses, baked cookies, came to school and now it's almost the end of my supper break. Oh well, while I'm in the department time moves quickly, so here's hoping.

Any ways, I suppose I should head back there before they think I've vanished.

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

Well that was sort of eerie. I was doing my regular checking everyone's blogs out and thought it was humorous that Lynnsey's blog also mentioned Wonderfalls and cancelled shows. (Screw you TV!! I shall defy you...you just wait and see!!!!)


Update on the boob front (ok that just totally sounds wrong...but you get what I mean, right?). Any ways as I was saying, new bra still pissing me off. I've now developed hives from wearing it. Seriously, how much can one person handle from a stupid bra. My side hurts from new bra, while I'm still sore in areas from the one that punctured me from the underwires. I have no luck with bras. I need a sort of custom one, one where the straps actually stay on my shoulders without having to hem it or one that doesn't apply unnecessary pressure to my already enlarged and sensitive liver or whatever. *sighs* Dreams I have, so unrealistic. Ok I have the best solution for it all, but I'm sort of failing at it, so I'm pretty much just accepting my status as Jabba. At least he didn't have to wear a bra!!!

Ok now that I'm really truly lost my mind (yes I know what you're thinking, what mind?) I'm going to bed, seriously.


{..::Topic::..}: I'm Exhausted and it shows

A little after 1 am and I'm still trying to figure where my day went. At least the test is over with. It was hard and I didn't do stellar (according to my prelim mark) so I'll be happy when the weekend finally gets here. Luckily I'm working evenings this week so I can sleep in a little bit each day. Then again, tomorrow will be the only day I stay and do a full evening shift, the only one for this week.

As I was saying though, I'm exhausted and it shows. My eyes have huge bags and are really black. I can't think and quite frankly I don't care right now. Now I just have to sit down and work on my paper. The fun never ends. Only 136 days until I'm finished with the course though. Yes I actually sat down one day and started the countdown. I'm a loser with a capital L, what can I say.

I'm proud of myself though, I totally bypassed all the ALIAS spoilers so not to ruin the season for myself. The best was learning that it will infact for sure be back next season, yippee! Bad news, they cancelled Wonderfalls. Sure it was quirky at times, but it was interesting to watch. One of those quirky shows that you just like because it's not like anything on the air right now, but of course the brains over at Fox cancelled it after 3 episodes, grr!! I'm used to this by now. Seems if I watch a show, it's gone. Granted Wonderfalls wasn't anything extremely special, it was just quirky and sometimes funny. Plus I was supporting my former sheriff Valenti. Poor shows that were killed by networks. Let's just have a moment for those shows, the ones we all came to know, love and obsess over like nothing else matters. *sigh* Tv has never been the same.

Remember the days when tv was once referred to as "quality," now it's more like "crap." Go back many years and you'll know what I mean. Think about it, what kinds of shows from today will be playing on stations like "Tv Land" and all those sorts of things. The day of quality tv has officially died. I mean it's been dead for many years but still, I choose to complain more about it now. Even movies are the same way. It's just recycled tv/movies/music. Is nothing original anymore?

Well I can't stop yawning so I'm taking that as a sign I should be in bed sleeping.

{..::Topic::..}: The saga continues

Yes another bra rant. So I wore my new bra today and the damn thing is poking me at the side. I so did not pay that kind of money for the side wire to bend and poke me. UGH!!! I hate bras!

Good news though, I got off early tonight to study for the test. I mean extrememly early. They sent me away at around 8:30 (although I could have left at 7 o'clock) to study. I feel so guilty though, but I wasn't going to be an idiot and regret it, so I stayed a little later just to feel better. I did happen to go in early but still, they were extremely nice at letting me go so early.

Other than that, stress from studying ACCCCCCCCCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much studying, so little time.... Well I'm off to continue studying. *grumble, grumble*

{..::Topic::..}: Adventures in Babysitting

Turns out I still had to babysit yesterday. I hadn't heard from my aunt until a few hours before they wanted me there. She said they probably wouldn't be too long, as my cousin is teething, has a cold, not sleeping well and generally very very cranky. My brother was still able to come with me, thankfully. We got there and not a few minutes later did he start screaming. We were able to calm him down for a few minutes at a time, but he'd just scream bloodly murder moments later. The only thing left by this point was to take him for a walk. It's 8o'clock at night, and we're walking a baby in his stroller in hopes he'll fall asleep and we'll be able to just put him in his crib when we get back to the house.

Well everything worked according to our plan. Small problem though. Thirty seconds into the house (with him still in the stroller because we didn't want to distrub him, and he was quiet so it was a good happy place for him and us) he wakes up. He we go again, we think. It was too cold to go back outside for a walk, not to mention by this time it's already 8:40 in the night. Check his diaper, everything and nothing soothes the poor little guy. Take him in the kitchen near a bottle, and he stops crying. Maybe he's hungry? I think we should fed him, but try his food first. Do you think that went well? No, once again he's screaming and wants out of his high chair. Take him out and bring him back in the kitchen, near the bottle and quiet again. Hmmmm.

So I take the bottle, go to their basement and just pray that giving him a bottle will soothe him down. Turn on Finding Nemo, sit on the couch (wrapping us in a blanket cause it was freezing there) and the little tike quiets right down. It was like a miracle. Of course I ruin that because my leg goes numb and I try and move him. More bloody murder time. Ten minutes later, we've got him under control. Phew! Luckily by the time he go fussy after that (30 or so minutes later), his parents come home. What a night. I feel sorry for the little guy but I swear at times he was just having a temper tantrum, he's a smart cookie, but boy does he have some lungs. So next time, I babysit it better be warmer out because we'll going for a looooooooong walk.

Well it's 2 days till my test and I'm relaxed, almost too relaxed. I've been making charts and reading notes all day though, so that's good. I wish I had done lots more studying before but I have no one to blame but myself for that. I only have tonight and tomorrow in the day to finish studying and a bit on Tuesday morning before the test, but still there is a bunch of stuff I need to know. I have no idea what sort of questions they are going to ask us about the Nervous system or breast anatomy or even circulatory system anatomy. Patient care, radiobiology and protection, positioning, pathology all that is the usual stuff so I only really need to study the stuff I'm not all to sure on now. But still it's mind boggling how much I finally do know and yet boggling because there is still a lot I don't fully comprehend yet.

Sunday night without ALIAS. Sucks! Luckily I have to study but I'm still pouty. Glad I have my four day weekend next weekend though. Then it's the social the next weekend, then in a little over a week from there it's my classes fundraiser at Rumor's. So much to do. ACK!

Well time for me to get back to studying...

{..::Topic::..}: Bras are still EVIL

Another day in the saga of bra vs me.

A little sleep deprived this morning, I absentmindly grabbed my broken bra and put it on. Don't ask me why I didn't stop myself because I can't really recall why I thought it would be fine. I'd worn it broken before on the weekend and nothing. I mean it poofed out a bit but nothing major. Whatevever. I guess I just figured this bra would be better than another one I had been wearing where the straps constantly fell off my shoulders, meaning I had to readjust the straps about every few minutes or wear the bra that upset the liver region.

Carrying on, I'm leaving the hospital after school to go grocery shopping and I feel a sharp pain on the chest. It's almost like something has fallen down the bra and just being uncomfortable. Any ways I'm not about to check it out until I'm away from public eyes. I get in the car and feel the underwire and low and behold the broken wire has punctured through the fabric and was stabbing me. Don't really know how long that had been going on though. I never noticed anything all day until the moment I left the hospital. But man did that hurt. I had to keep pulling the cup and wire away from the breast because of the pain.

Luckily for me, the BraBar was on the way home (actually in hindsight, unluckily for me). So I go, mind you I'm dragging my butt there because I just know I'm going to be selling my soul to afford a new bra. Any ways, I go in and cross my fingers that I can get in and get out with the same bra I'd bought in the fall. Well wouldn't you know they didn't have my size and it would take another 2-4 weeks until a new one could come. GRR! I tried to say I'd wait those weeks, but my mother looked at me like I was on some sort of strong drug and said no. Where did she get off telling me no? My boobs my body, right? Any ways it was two against one and I lost. I was willing to wear the bra with the falling straps or the bra that cut hurt the liver after a few hours of use, but I lost.

Back to square one. I was forced into trying on a bra, which was why I was dreading the store (ok that was my second reason). I only had to try on one bra, luckily. The sales lady pissed me off a little though. She was going on how I've gone up in cup size and I quote "you know we call change so much in a time like 6 months, I mean we did just finish winter, and we all tend to put on a little something during those times because we're not as active as the other seasons." I was flabbergasted. I wanted to turn to her and say "no, I'm actually more in shape, thanks." I just couldn't believe she said that to me. Every bra is different and you can actually have different sizes of cups and everything, just depending on the manufacturer, but still to incinuate that maybe I ate more and wasn't as active in the winter as in other times, pissed me right off.

Still wearing my painful bra, I decide to go grocery shopping. By the time I got home I was in major pain. Not only was the bra killing me, but my liver felt it wasn't getting enough attention. I was actually doubled over in pain in the middle of the store. It's been a long time since I had pain that horrific. It passed after a few minutes but it really hurt, it's still tender now (which I attribute to the motrin wearing off). Any ways, when I got home, I finally took off that horrid boulder holder and the wire in the bra had actually puntured me and drew blood. So now I have a breast that has a cut (and a few more I suspect that didn't draw blood). It's not very nice.

So in conclusion and $150 later, I've decided bras are evil - and so is that worker, mwhahaha! I think this new bra actually has gold somewhere hidden because at that price that's the only reason I can justify it. Last time I went I spent 30 dollars more and got not one, but two bras, two!! I never imagined that fatty tissue could ever cost that much. But I digress....

Well it's already the weekend. Yay for sleep, but boo because so much to be done, grr!

I just finished watching the news and was surprised to see something. Students actually signing up and decided to boycott any CanadInns bars in respect to those that have been killed by pathologies related to bouncers. So sad that this happened but at least they're doing something. Hopefully it turns out good. I've really been into the whole bar scene, but thought this was something that needed to be done. So sad though. Seriously these guys beat up a guy and the guy dies and they're let out on bail. Worse of all they actually were out partying days later at the bars, regardless that they're not supposed to be (of at least one of the guys were). Just horrible. I didn't even realize this more recent one had occurred but it's horrible. So good for those people organizing this boycott!

So no extra comps this week. I'm officially screwed. Looks like I have 3 weeks to get all my comps, which will not happen. I guess I'll just have to be one of the students at our site that won't be able to work. Granted I never really wanted to do that because it means for one week we'll be working for 12 days straight with no break and only get paid for two days. It's nuts. At least the tests are becoming less and less, which is almost a disservice now because we're all slacking off horribly. None of us have actually started to write our papers (although we all vowed we'd be done before the test, some of us claimed they'll be finished by the end of christmas break...hah! those people cracked me up when they said that). But yeah, I'm screwed. I was telling that to my clinical instructor and she was like "well just push a little more." Grr, what kind of help is that?!?! Where did I go wrong? Oh right, the moment I filled out the application form to the college LOL.

Well I guess that is all, I do have to go and do some studying. Loooong weekend of studying ahead for me.

{..::BONUS..alias.quote.of.the.day::..} McKenas Cole: [To Sydney] Now, I know I'm not the subtlest guy when it comes to women and I probably said something insanely inappropriate, because you told me if I ever talked to you again, you'd break my kneecaps. Which just made me love you.
{..::roswell.quote.of.the.day::..} Alex: OK, I want some answers, all right? Because first of all, there are rumors going around that last week you were shot here in the cafe. And then at the crash festival you (motions to Maria) were seemingly run over by a car, but then you weren't. And everytime I walk up to you two, you go silent or make up some ridiculous story about Czechoslovakia, which is a country that has not existed for 10 years. So I want the truth, and I want it now.
Liz: Alex, the reason that we keep on changing the subject is...
Maria: Cramps. We have cramps, Alex.
Liz: Yeah, and we didn't even want to talk about it in front of you because we thought it would make you feel really uncomfortable.
Maria: But if you want really want to know, we can tell you.
Liz: In really excruciating detail.
Alex: No. I'm eating.
