FOOD FRONT- I have made an avocado* shake and it is interesting. I didn't put enough ice at first so I ended up choking down a 1/4 of it before I went "oh". It is entirely made up of an avocado, a lot of condensed milk, soymilk, and ice. The taste is yummy, but very rich and creamy in texture (AND SO FILLING). I ended up having to force the last of the 2 cups down the throats of my housemmates (who were all pleasantly surprised by how un-nasty it was).
I am still nursing a cup of it in my lap, looking vaguely sick though.
*4 for 25 cents, I couldn't resist, okay. >:(
And my housemate's grandma made us a whole tray of fresh baklavas and they were SO DELICIOUS. I would take pictures, but they are all gone. all 20 of them. :|
SCHOOL FRONT- These past few weeks have been hella hectic, I don’t even. I started clinic work for CNA training and mostly that’s just going along fine. Night shift is pretty good, less intense than day shift. I have two sweet residents, very nice and generally in good moods, but a very bad fellow student as a partner-in that she is bossy and wants to verify everything I say because I’m obviously younger and less experienced, and therefore stupid and squeamish. She always has the need to one-up me too, whether it is in patient care or just stories and anecdotes while we work. Always comparing what we’re doing to what her other facility does, and ditching me at inappropriate times, taking care of the easier residents, and then has the nerve to say “hey, I’m going on my fifteen minutes break now, okay?” And I always say I’m fine with that. Through the whole week, I’ve only ever taken one, because I’m usually so busy trying to cover both our asses. Bitter? Yes. Yes, I am.
Still, concerning skill and knowledge, we are well-matched. I am inexperienced, but more knowledgeable in terms of medical jargon and chart reading. She didn’t know what the root “osteo” meant and I patiently told her and then, of course, she bothers our instructor (who is very busy anyways) to double-check. Well, that alone is such a petty thing, but it keeps happening and it is beginning to get on my nerves, especially when I’m trying to learn myself. My partner knows what she’s doing, but she has a way of explaining the most trivial things and leaving out the important bits.
Argh. She even bitched at me for leaving a clean glove on a bed while I was turning a resident over. "You know, if you do that on the state exam, you'd fail," she says cattily. Yes. Of course, I would. But the state exam wouldn't have me trying to balance three different tasks all at once with an insufferable partner. Besides, it was a clean glove. That I was going to go use five seconds after she made that comment.
Yesterday we broke off to work on our own, so now that I'm not with her for 4 hours straight, she is actually very tolerable.
Anyway. Been watching The Pacific and trying very hard not to compare it with Band of Brothers. I'm on Part 6 right now and I keep thinking that Sledge is so moe, I can't even begin to compile a list to the reasons why. HE JUST IS. :| I do enjoy Basilone's POV the best, though Leckie's parts are more exciting (and hilarious) to watch so far.

Notes about it:
- TOM HANKS. WHY ARE YOU NARRATING YOUR OWN SERIES THAT YOU ARE PRODUCING. NO, TOM. NO.
- Chuckler is my favorite, hee.
- Snafu creeps me out. It's not that he steals people's teeth, but HE LOOKS SO HIGH ALL THE TIME.
- I teared up during the first and second episode (lolwtf), but not at all for the rest of it. HMMM.
- So we are showed two sex scenes with pretty naked women, but the one time we see any explicit naked man scenes, he puts a gun in his mouth and blows his brains out (or, alternatively, it is a fairly old man taking a natural rain shower). Thank you, Mr. Yost.
