(no subject)
The last few weeks have been insanely busy. In fact, I am drawing a blank on what has been going on. Okay, let me recap...
MARCH
Pharmacology exam the first week...yeah, I dominated again, 95%. I love that class. It is a tough class, but so interesting at the same time. Last semester when I started clinical, I was administering drugs that I seriously had no clue what their mechanism of action was, so I had no idea how they fixed or prevented arrythmias....or why the heck we administered them. Now, it's like light bulbs going off one after the other. I love it!!!! I know....I am a huge dork, but whatever, I have accepted the nerd inside :)
Second week....Clinical three days in a row....VERY LONG DAYS....but well worth it because then CARRIEANN CAME TO VISIT from Wednesday until Sunday!!!!!! So much fun!!!!!! We did all the touristy stuff. We went to the Statue of Liberty, Soho, Little Italy, China Town, Empire State Building, Times Square, Metropolitan Museum of Art, the big Macy's, Central Park, Rockefeller, NY Public Library, and Grand Central....man we did a lot. Oh....and I got a proposal at the Statue of Liberty from an Irishman!!!!! Haha...it was quite entertaining....I don't think Carrieann was amused, but I thought it was funny. After she left on Sunday, I had to study....cause I had ANOTHER exam on Monday.....
Third week...Patho exam on Monday....and I went to Clinical FOUR DAYS.....very exhausted......
Present week....ANOTHER Pharmacology exam (a little difficult)....Clinical three days......This week at clinical wasn't so long...however, friday was kinda a rough day....so thursday night, I got home at 800pm...did my usual...eat dinner, relax for a bit...got ready for bed...but in the mean time, I bent down to pick something up and smacked my head on the corner of my dresser....nice little mark above my right eye. So then friday, I go to clinical....grabbed my three boxes of stuff I need to setup my pump....start to walk out of the store room....felt my foot get caught on the little metal cart at the doorway.....and of course it happens.....yeah you guessed it, I flew out the door, flat on my face....my shin hit the metal cart.....which proceeded in rolling out of the way so my knee could hit the floor.....and my arm could catch one of the boxes....it was a graceful trip if I do say so myself. It was the loudest crash ever....AND NO ONE came out of their OR rooms....I mean seriously, I could have died and they wouldn't have known....jerks. My leg and arm look so bad. My whole leg is blue and purple. My arm swelled up to about the size of a golf ball. It was really not so fun. So that morning, I am eating breakfast with all the perfusionists, and Anne says, "You look like you are having a rough morning..you ok?" So I proceeded in telling her the story....they all gave me their concerned looks and apologies...etc etc. Then 5 min. later, Anne says, "did you hit your head when you fell?" Thinking...of course she would have to notice that...crap...I say "No, that was last night...." Then she says..."Gees, your parents are going to think we abuse you...." It was great......but I get to go home tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!! :) Yay...I am excited, can you tell???
So that is my quick recap of March...not too exciting I know :)
Oh, so has anyone seen "The Secret." It is very weird. It is about how everything that happens to you is basically a result of the things you do or the way you think or feel. I didn't watch the whole thing....I am not sure I want to watch the whole thing. I started to get annoyed with it after 20 minutes. It was talking about how the 'laws of attraction' is everything. Like the one example was about this homosexual man who was always getting harassed at work, on the streets, in his apt complex....he even tried to do a standup comedy show and got booed and laughed at and he thinks it was all because he was gay and too "feminine." So this was saying that if he changed the way he felt and thought about everything......all this would go away. If he didn't think he was going to get jumped on the street for being gay....he wouldn't he jumped. If he didn't "think" he was going to get booed off the stage, then he wouldn't, etc. And they said he tried this way of thinking and feeling and it worked. I don't know....I think there is some truth to it....but then if everyone did this...wouldn't that be like living in an utopian society? No bad would ever occur to anyone....eh, I don't know. Maybe I should watch the whole thing. I could only really watch 20 minutes of it.
