things
Things for the moment have been much better than they were, say 2-4 weeks ago. I'm doing fantastic in school, I even got a 100 on the first med-surg test, and 100s on my 2 case studies. I don't think I'll still be doing too hot come this test because endocrine is tricky and all the hormones are letters and basically its like the alphabet is floating around in our bloodstream and there are problems to know, all hyper- or hypo- AHH!! Its not that its hard its just a lot, and I feel like I should know this crap because I've had it numerous, numerous times. But I started out on a good foot, and thats definitely a plus.
Work has been frustrating. I like it, and things have gotten better, but I feel like I'm really having to pick up the slack for some of my recently lazy coworkers. If on Wednesday I didn't leave until about 6:30 and I ask if everything is taken care of before I leave and I come in the next day and there are the fingernails of the last patient on the counter in the Contact lens room, its like I feel that I really can't trust that things are done unless I'm doing it myself, from confirming appointments which should be done by 1 pm, to verifying insurances, which when I'm there the whole day I take care of it first thing in the morning, to now, even cleaning and taking the garbage to the dumpster and not just leaving it by the back door. Oh, and the fingernails belonged to a 12 year old who had to learn to take contacts out and put them in with really long nails and she was very squeamish about her eyes. She started crying and I suggested she cut her nails, it would be easier and then someone took over for me because it was taking a while. And she never cleaned the room after the patient. Those things REALLY annoy me.
I got my hair cut off again, well, about shoulder length but layered up to my ear and chipped into, so the layers stick out. I also got it chemically straightened, and I finally got to wash my hair this morning since getting my hair done on Tuesday.
Tuesday, Valentines Day, not to be a brat and brag, but it was really super. I treated Eric to breakfast at Cracker Barrell, since thats what he wanted. I gave him a new watch that Ted, his best friend, and I picked out in Orlando a few weekends ago. I'm so glad he liked it. I put it in a little treasure chest thing with a candle, a ton of chocolate and a card. I also had a shirt custom made that was grey with a big pink heart and Eric written in a pretty script inside the heart. Cheesy, but I wore it all day and I love the shirt and he does too. I wore it with a pink long sleeve shirt underneath and my pink nikes that I wore to NYC I won't lie I looked so cute all day long. When I got back home, Eric came over and gave me my present, which is a funny story. On Friday, I got a manicure and pedicure and went shopping and I bought myself an ipod nano, since I'd wanted one for a while. I called him and told him that I made my purchase and he got discouraged and I said "I thought you'd be happy because I'd stop whining so much about it" and he told me that he bought me one a while back and that it was going to be my valentines day gift. So he had to take it back because the minute I got home Friday I put a lot of music on it and so he had no choice. So my backup gift was the silver beaded necklace from Tiffanys to match the bracelet he bought me for my birthday. It looks so pretty around my neck! So we went to get drinks and had dinner reservations that were a surprise to me so I had to wear a blindfold from tampa ale house to two blocks over to arigatos. but he drove around the parking lot about 5 times, a residential neighborhood, up bearss and erlich and then finally to arigatos. So I was completely thrown off and confused because he said at drinks we need to leave soon because our reservations are completely across town, blah blah blah. Dinner was delicious. Loved it! Just sucked because its one of those japanese steakhouses where they cook the dinner in front of you... so washing my hair finally 3 days later was SO NICE!
Thats really about it. I'm about to order dinner and study tonight... Have a test on Friday over statistical terminology and things like that and no review to go by, so I'll definitely be working on this all week.
Hope everyone has a good one!
