Tomorrow

i intend for tomorrow to be an exciting day. nina and i are going to the royal alex together as she has an orientation for nursing and i have my respiratory therapy adult intensive care unit exam. that's not very exciting. and as always, of course, i'm quite nervous about it. i did study today. i spend 2 hours in the the noise filled second cup soaking up caffeine and knowledge, and then 2 hours tonight at home, reviewing further. but still. i always doubt my mind will retain what i've covered and i'm extra anxious due to the fact that this is a written exam. i have not done a written exam in all 3 years of this program. my clinical coordinator, sandy, says that they are better because they "allow for room to clarify." well, they also allow for room to bullshit and bury one correct answer amongst a pile of wrong ones and thenhave the whole question marked wrong because it's obvious bullshit. well, hope for the best.

the exciting part comes after that! nina and i are done at the same time...roughly. so we are then going to whyte ave where we will first eat a bagel each from the great canadian bagel factory, oh yum, and then go to shambhala's to find out about jesse, a tattoo artist who we have both heard rave reviews about from various people. we both have designs in mind and want to talk to her and see what she can do for us. after that, we're going to work out at millenium, and chill in the hot tub. it will be refreshing to spend the day with nina, not quite like when we were little and would stroll hand in hand everywhere, but rather a more evolved mature version of that. when we get home, we are going out to dinner with mom and dad, and matt and amy. it should all be quite joyous. alex is coming over after dinner so we can watch a movie.

it will be a quiet friday because i have one more day of AICU to make up at the RAH. when dad was sick in december and i stayed home to go the hospital with him andi missed 2 class days. for some dumbass reason i have to make those 2 class days up by spending time at the hospital. i'm pissed about it but not fighting it because i don't want to be viewed as a "complainer." long stupid story. i guess being the one who stands up for what one believes in leads to one being labelled a "complainer."

i should be getting to bed. i'm tired. i have a headache and i just need a good rest.

good night y'all.
