"What are friends are for?"

I'm going to miss the friends I've made in TO while I'm away at Christmas.

Friends that come in to school an hour early to let me practice palpating on them
Friends that lend me pretty dresses at the last minute
Friends that come to my lame ass parties of sit and talk til the wee hours of the morning
Friends that let me come over with my school books and watch Grey's Anatomy
Friends that throw over the top christmas parties with chocolate fountains and festive drinks
Friends that can always be counted on to lend a pencil from the mechanical pencil section of their pencil case.

And i'm soo looking forward to seeing my friends back home.
Bring on the Carlos Rossi ...
I've missed you! (my friends that is...i can get CR here hehe)

Today I wrote my Nurse-Patient Relationship/Therapeutic Skills/Health Assessment Exam. Who's idea it was to have 3 in 1 exams I don't know, but it's a stupid idea! Wayyyyy to much information to cover and I forgot stupid little things when i was writing b/c I was so worked up about knowing the ascending and descending pathways of the corticospinal track. And so I made up the names of the landmarks for IM injections and answered auscultation instead of percussion for diaphragmatic excursion test. I'm just angry that I got stupid questions wrong that seem soo simple now that I am home and have looked at my notes. bahhhhh.
Tomorrow morning I have to perform a mystery health assessment on a volunteer patient while my instructor watches & grades me. Then one more final exam and then write my paper and thennnnnn i'll be ready to go home.
Halifax Friday! WOOT WOOT!

PARTY @ C-DITTLES!
