I know I know... but this is my venting place...

Here goes.

Sometimes I just need to spill it.


Totally broke. Working for free. Not ready for class tomorrow. People who are supposed to be acting like professionals are acting like children. Mouth is sore from dentist. On my period. Cranky. And tired. Whew.

But there is a bright side.

Tax refund coming soon... working for free yet gaining experience... i'll probably do home study tomorrow so i can avoid the early morning hour long drive to "class"... people will never grow up... no more cavities... and period is good cause i had been a week late... and the cranky feeling is starting to dissipate because after i wrote this down, it doesn't look bad at all :) and tired.. well... i can fix that pretty easily. I'm gonna go grab a gravol and hopefully it will knock me out in the next half hour... even though it's only 8:30...

Today was supposed to be my last day in the specialist's office at work. Next week I am supposed to switch to a family doctor. I'm looking forward to it on one hand, because that means no more blood pressure, urine testing, or electrocardiograms... however, it also means that there will be as many as three times more patients seen in a day so that could get pretty stressful... We shall see, we shall see.

I'm starting to panic about my wordprocessing module. I think tomorrow i can do the written assessment (assuming i go to charlottetown). I've already fallen really far behind, since i miss two of the testing days every week, and i hate the thought of falling behind my schedule. I've worked SO hard this year so I could finish in June instead of December, but I'm going to have to double the effort if I still expect to finish that early. It's April on Friday. Holy flip, that is hard to believe.

Oh, and one other happy (not) part of my day. Got a phone bill in the mail. Found out that the 3, count em 3, phone calls i made from the dominican, consisting of no more than 15 minutes in total, came to the grand total of $98 on the telephone bill!? That's fucking outrageous.

Woo-hoo, so the last big business society pub crawl is this Saturday. My income tax better hurry up and get in cuz i do not intend to miss out on it... It will be so great to see everyone again!!! I feel so out of the loop going to a different school... anyways, feeling in a better mood... writing things out usually makes me realize that things are definitely not as bad as they seem. So yay, blog to the rescue yet again.

On Lunch Break

Just about ready to get back to work. It was tres busy this morning, and I am so glad that I got to come home for lunch today. It makes such a big difference to recharge. So today's Wednesday, and there's no class on Friday. Woo-hoo. HOwever, I still may be going to Charlottetown to write a test. Iknow, I know. but it's only one and I am running behind. Anywho, I guess I really better think about heading back to work. Wish me luck. Only 8 weeks left...

HolyGosh, I hold grudges

Ok. So yesterday I ran into someone I haven't seen in ages. And someone I haven't SPOKE to in probably 14 years. Let me take you back to Grade 2. I am probably the shyest kid that ever lived. And my mom had bought me this great pencil. It was one of the ones that had the removeable leads. And it was orange, and scented (like an orange - go figure :P) Anyways, this one day it fell off my desk and I couldn't find it, I gave it up for lost. The next day I saw this girl using it! My favorite pencil!! Well, shy as I was, I somehow got the nerve to thank her for finding my pencil I had been looking everywhere for. SHe looked at me quite snottily, and said it was hers. Needless to say, I never got it back. I never spoke to her again. LOL. Kids, eh. Well, I hadn't thought about that in years and years and years, and it all came rushing back when I saw her yesterday. Holy yikes, I have to learn to let things go :P Too funny.

Not Unthawing yet...

I didn't make it down to class today, between missing my drive, actually two, and this cold. Sigh.

Stupid cold. Ok, here's a question. If you were prescribed an antibiotic for one reason, is it ok to take it for another? My argument is NO. It's never ok to do that. However, someone else believes that it is ok. An antibiotic is an antibiotic. And since you were prescribed a good strong one, it should fix just about anything. So who's right?

Probably more later, but now, I must hit the books...

"My head feels like a frozen pineapple!"

Ok, I heard that at work today, and thought about how glad I was that my cold was just ending. Or so I thought. First came the sniffle, and then the runny nose, and then the totally stuffed head. Again. And now... "My head feels like a frozen pineapple..."

Another day. Another, er, well, lack of dollar.

I will be so happy when I start getting paid for my efforts. But, hey, I guess I am gaining experience. And that's a good thing, right? Right.

So I'm thinking that although getting to wear scrubs is a great thing in many respects (i.e comfy, don't have to think about it in the morning-just grab one and go, and they wash super easy), that I need to pay attention to their one major downfall. That's right folks. After wearing scrubs all week, and jeans that have that lovely bonus of stretch in them all weekend, when I get into those dress pants, that LACK any stretch, they are getting tighter and tighter. So. That means watching what goes into my mouth for a little while at least. :P Unfun. But hey, t'is life, I s'pose.

Countdown to Spring Break

Soon the drudgery of heading to class day after day will be momentarily interrupted :) Last day of classes before the break is the 17th of march. Woo-hoo! Although I will still be doing my on the job training... but that's not too bad... one of the days will be cancelled, because I don't think that they are open on Easter Monday :) So that's a good thing. Don't really know what the break will bring. If I had some money saved up, I would totally travel somewhere. Although, the amount of money I have to my name right now is slim to none. Being a college student sucks. I'm always broke!!! Lol. I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles. As soon I get a job, I am starting to save for next year's trip. I am aiming for Australia or Greece, but we shall see what the future holds. Australia would be absolutely amazing. I have been poring over travelogues for there for weeks now. The only thing holding me back is the expensive plane fare. But ya never know :) With any luck, in a year's time I will be there!!!! Or somewhere :P Lol, if anyone has any suggestions for a really great trip, I'd love to hear 'em.

Pissed off

I am in the most angry mood that I have been in in a long time. It is coming from a combination of forgetfullness, tiredness, justifiable reasons to be angry, and unjustifiable reasons to be angry, oh bonus, plus I am FREEZING here. I don't want to get into the gory details here, but at the moment I could just scream. And I am in class. What a great place to be. I'm taking off at lunch. More later when (and if) I calm down. Argh.

PS if anyone can tell me why some of the words in this just happen to be clickable (See some of the other posts), i would be eternally grateful.. they are pissing me off as well

I'll always be just another ordinary girl...

Sigh. Well I made it through the day. After working through wordprocessing, pharmacology, spending the afternoon at the hospital (incidentally, NOT the one I will be volunteering at :S Go figure), finishing up two projects, driving an hour back home, grabbing a quick supper, doing my taxes, then studying for a test tomorrow morning, I can't believe that I am still conscious :P I can't wait until 4 tomorrow afternoon!!!! Monday next week is going to be killer. I am back at the SMC and we have a special clinic which plus regular hours in the afternoon, it will be so busy. Yesterday, my regualr supervisor was out sick, so I got to work switchboard for the day. I also got to check out the transcribing area. That is exactly what I want to do. I think that transcribing might be the perfect job for me... Well, on that note, I am going to go watch Survivor. Yes, I am still watching it. And I LIKE it, sue me :P

New Blog...

Ok, So I saw this blog and like it way better than my old one, so I am transferring all of my old entries here. I started moving the oldest ones first, but then added a few recent ones... Don't know whether I'm coming or going :P Anyways, within a few days it should all be up to speed. OoO and you can leave comments so you should :P

Spent last night laughing with my sister, as she scrolled through pictures on hotornot.com where she set up an account ages and ages ago of the people who want to meet her. The creepy thing is when I see pictures of guys I know (quite well, actually) who have decided they would like to meet my lil sis. Eek. I don't know why all these guys for younger girls... Lol. I guess she's not that young, it's just hard for me to picture her as the just-about-19-year-old that she actually is. WEll, the bottom line is that we haven't spent so much time together just laughing in such a long time. Usually we just end up arguing, which is never good.

SO I am in Charlottetown today. It feels like I haven't been in class in ages and ages and ages. I have so much stuff to do but I just can't bring myself to do any of it today. I am working on Word Processing right now. Not exactly rocket science but it is tedious and time consuming. I forgot to bring in a disk this morning so that means I have to go buy some more (with my lack of money) or risk not being able to finish this module for another week. Sadly enough, with te state of mind I am in right now, I will probably just leave it until next week. Bah. I hate falling behind, but now that I have I just totally feel like slacking off completely. So, other than that today consists of a pharmacology test and a meeting at the QEH. Fun stuff. And then the real fun starts tomorrow. Sigh. Everything that I have been procrastinating about will occur tomorrow. I need a drink.

In like a lion...

Another month down... 3 to go!!! Not very great weather today. I ended up staying in Summerside. Got some work done, but not nearly the amount I had intended. Got up at 6:30 and then fell back asleep at 7... next thing i knew it was after 11. Now that can't be healthy. I shouldn't need THAT much sleep... I hope I'm not ill... Being at the med center make me feel like I should be getting checked out... make sure its not a thyroid thing or something. ah well, I guess that is just me...

Trying to get some new pictures up here, but they don't seem to be co-operating. Grr.

Back to the SMC tomorrow. I think there is one doctor in in the afternoon. I was wondering how we would put the day in on Monday since there weren't any, but we were just as busy without them there! And next Monday is going to be absolutely crazy. There's a special clinic so there will be lots of extra people.

Sigh. I'm tired again and thinking of sleep. It's not even 9 yet. Someone please fix me.
