(no subject)
Points of randomness that are all true:
1) I'm done with my pediatrics clinical. Tomorrow's a freebie -- all of us in our group and clinical instructor are meeting for happy hour tomorrow. Official business and all, getting our evals done. ;)
2) I've got this online course that counts towards my Master's, on research design. Our group leader -- who happens to be both our class president and the oldest (60ish) -- is annoying the hell out of me. I mean, I'm dealing with it, because I'm generally a laid back person. But I'm not giving into her annoyingness. She's creating more work than there needs to be. She's set all of our deadlines during the week, even though two of us have had weekday clinicals (M/T/W 3-11pm) while she and the others have weekends. She set a Saturday deadline for those article critiques, and she will be getting mine at midnight at the earliest. Because I've had clinical all week, we have class Thursday, and then our midterm Friday which is worth 40% of our grade. So, I'm sorry, I need time to study.
So, the OTHER thing -- she keeps calling me out. When I didn't realize we needed to post topic ideas, she mentioned it twice on the message board, then again using my one article submission as an example of an article that ISN'T relevant, stating I'd need to argue for its inclusion. Um, nice try. I don't really give a fuck. And then she read all of our answers (we each took two questions for this critique) and gave us DETAILED feedback from her and keeps telling us to keep that in mind as well as the input from our ACTUAL INSTRUCTOR.
At some point I'm going to snap and strangle her. She was sick last week and I not-so-secretly enjoyed it.
3) I planned on skipping class Thursday because of the aforementioned studying. We're supposed to turn in this kits we used for developmental screenings -- highly standardized and a $75 kit, blah blah blah. It's a bag full of junk. A comment my dad overheard me jokingly say to my mother a couple of weeks ago. So, he stumbled upon said kit and proceeded to THROW IT AWAY. I realized it yesterday. I was furious. I thought he was kidding. (Admittedly, it had such costly items as an old box of raisins, a broken pencil, a ball of yarn, your classic dollar store baby figurine, a bell -- which my dad decided to keep -- and so on.) I had to go to clinical, but I cooled down by the time I came home, at which point I told him, "I apologize for yelling, I admit it was my fault for not putting it away, but still believe throwing it away was an unreasonable and extreme reaction on your part."
4) IDEK. I forgot everything else -- IN MY FITS OF RAGE. OH, Dexter. Way to be fucking awesome this season. Twisted, sad, and awesome.
5) Golden Globe noms for House/Hugh. Dude, didn't they get the memo that the media is TOTALLY over this show, because it sucks, and the old team was vastly superior to the new team, and no one really gives a damn about House/Cuddy, and everyone loves House/Wilson so much more, and Cameron is like our favorite character ever, and the show has lost its way since it's really all about the medicine, and the season just totally, totally blows and blah blah blah. And yet it's the sole network program to be nominated. Suck it, haters. Suck it hard! (And deal with living in a universe where not everyone thinks exactly the way you do.)
6) Once Tuesday rolls around, I'll officially be on break... until Jan. 4 (when I get to go back and take my finals, wtf). NEEEEED IT. Like yesterday. And there's awesome Christmas gifts waiting for me. It's not fun to know things, but, then, it kind of is (I'm going to make my MBP take 6GB of RAM, baby). Oh, and I need to fucking shop. I don't know what to get my mom. I need to get booze for my cousin and possibly my sister.
7) What's up, everyone? I miss LJ. I've been shitty. :(
I'm going to go make my special, special revisions. My group leader was so kind as to tell me and the other 3-11 chick we could submit ours by 1pm tomorrow, rather than the 11am she gave everyone else. OH HER KINDNESS ASTOUNDS.
