you know what's stupid?

- writing reflective papers about caring and feelings and holistic care and all that gross ooeey gooey stuff when i would rather be reading and learning about ooey gooey blood.
- banks. First the RBC for being super rude to me on the phone and 2nd the Credit Union for copying down my account number wrong and transfering my rent money to someone elses account.
- Clinicial. in particular, walking around in the windy pooring rain with a broken inside out umbrella at 9:30 am trying to find my stupid clinical meeting place.
- College St. Pubs. Paying 15$ at a Pub for a stir fry made from frozen veggies that were still half frozen.
- Waiting a ridiculous amount of time for said stir fry b/c "it takes a long time to cook and prepare the stir fry"
- Showing up 1/2 hour late for discussion group and still spending 2 hours discussing our feelings about a day with the seniors...
- Which turned into..."this is gonna sound superficial...." and "yea and you can get steroids from monkey brains that shrink your penis"

Seriously people...this is what i am paying the big bucks to do all day. Talk about how I FEEL about seniors and FIJI Water and monkey brains...and I Feel that it is stupid.

but i also practiced injecting IM and SC saline into my citrus fruits this evening and that was fun.

Long naps make me feel wierd.

I got home from clinical today (where I played carpet bowling and line dancing all day) around 4ish and ate some KD then layed down for a nap...around 7pm I woke up b/c there was a strange ringing noise in my apt...my alarm clock? no...doorbell? no i don't have one...wtf...oh it's a phone...so i finally dig through my bag and find it, open it...it takes me probably 30 seconds to realized i have to talk into it... Seriously! i think there was drugs in my KD.
Sooo for the rest of the evening i crawled into my pjs and am attempting to do school work, unsuccesfully. i feel icky. and excessively thirsty...my 24 pack of water is quickly decreasing making my fridge look really empty.
I also applied for another job today (3 so far), so i suppose the night hasn't been a total lack of productiveness.
Another fun filled day with the seniors tomorrow.

Anyone want to drink wine and study nursing with me this weekend???

Just how important is attending class...?

I've always been a 'class-goer', even in elementary I hated missing school for my dentist appointment. I'm not sure why, it's not like I was going to fail the "write the alphabet test" if I missed that one class....and then in High School, I remember missing class to head to Ch'Town for the day with Cat and finding out that my physics class had been outside building snowmen while I was gone, and being appalled that they did that without me.
During my 4 year undergrad at Acadia I missed less than 10 days (that i can remember) ...i didn't even like to skip intro psych! And now in Nursing, I'm finding that I'm the "reliable" one that people depend on to get the missed notes from class.
I'm starting to wonder if my time could be better spent doing other productive things such as studying, shopping, sleeping....
I'm sure I won't stop attending class though...what if they announce some important information and I don't hear about it! I'll just bring stuff to do during the less than exciting classes.
