Weeheee! I might have a job at the clinic just down the road from me! *dances* That means I could ride my bike to and from work every day. It would take me less than 10 minutes to get to work and home. And it looks like I'm going to get the $12 I'm asking for too! I go meet the girls tomorrow after my Dr appointment. -Very- excited. They seemed really nice today when I dropped off my resume. And I guess I would be getting some large animal experience there too, probably at Spruce Meadows, since I cant get to Okatokes.. *crosses her fingers* Oh, this would be -so- awesome... Wish me luck!
Long up-hill climb on bike + headwind = tired legs. Good fun.
You know, it occured to me this afternoon, that if I'm going to be working at a clinic this summer, I'm going to have a lot less opportunity to dress up than I did working at the office.
Hmm, I guess that means I'll have to have more of a social life so I can dress up when I go out then! *chuckles*
Where went the faith of a small child in happy endings to every story?
And now I have a smaller bike.
I'm having a hard time keeping track of the day of the week without a schedule to follow..
Hmm, it seems that working brakes are going to take a bit of getting used to. I almost went over my handle-bars when I hit the breaks too hard. Not to mention that I've discovered the bike is just a wee bit taller than I though, and well, I'm not.. Still, good fun. It's so much nicer to ride than the ancient decrepit thing I have been using for the last 8 months.
Well, talk about unpleasant surprises. I just found out that my best friend here in Calgary is going to be moving to Montreal around the time I go back to edmonton for school in the fall. Not fun! Damn, I'm going to miss him..
Always nice to come home and find money waiting for you. I have 3 cheques from the government to a total of $1081.14 sitting in front of me.
A wee bit will be for fun, but most of it will have to go towards next year's tuition and living expenses.
Getting my wireless router set up is always such a pain in the ass.. At least it only took one phone call this time. When I first set it up in Edmonton it took several days worth of phone calls.
*laughs* I dont have to study. I dont know what to do with myself!
So I got my final marks back on two of my subjects. Some how, dont ask me how, but even with failing not one, but -two- parts of my anesthesia final, I still managed to pull off an 80 in the course over all. I must have been aceing it other wise, I guess. I'm happy, because I was a bit worried about that one.
Also, I came out with an 87% as my final mark in Medical/Surgic
Now I'm just waiting on the rest, particularly today's parasitology. I think most of the teachers are going to try to have our marks back to us tomorrow.
Wow, it's finally almost over. Just the comprehensive tomorrow, and freedom! *dances*

I had one of those half waking, half sleeping dreams last night as I was drifting off. I dont remember much, but one sentence stuck out in my head.
"Perhaps they will let me keep this day, when I return to the place of sorrows."
Makes me wonder who was speaking and what the rest of the dream was about. What little I can remember seems pretty solidly based in fantasy, but it's just vague images. I think there was a grey tree.. Maybe it was the tree that spoke.
Odd to dream, when one is used to peacefull balckness or nightmares. I had a fair few dreams last night.
yay! *dances* It's final folks, I have a place to stay next fall!
Andrew (gina's bf) has agreed to put off selling the condo till we're done school. So now we just have to figure out the details, and that's the easy part.
Such a -huge- relief, let me tell you..
Well, one more subject down, 5 to go. I'm disappointed that I dont feel any sense of relief at having two less exams to deal with this week. All I feel is tired and stressed and overwhelmed by the amount left to go.
The possibility of staying with Gina next fall is looking less firm than I had thought/hoped. Oh well. Keep looking I guess. I'll figure somthing out.
*edit*
Looks like Gina's boyfriend (who bought the condo for her) is selling it in January, so I'd have to move right after christmas any ways.
Back to square one.
It's funny. You get so used to winter, when it seems like it's always dark. Now it's almost 8:30, and the sun has just barely started to set. It makes it feel earlier than it is. The fact that I managed to sleep in till 9:30 this morning might also have somthing to do with that..
Every day that passes now brings me a day closer to home. I suppose that could be said of every day since I came here last august, but the reality is closer now, and so feels more real. Today is the last sunday afternoon I will ever spend in this room. That is far from a sad thought.
It's funny how you get used to somthing. I love my laptop, and everything about it (except for it's weight, it's a monster). I've gotten so used to using it and my mouse (which has some additional features) that I find it feels really odd to use the PC's at school, or my uncle's. I just keep trying to use things that arnt there. I cant see any reason I would ever switch to a desk top PC. I really cant.
*chuckles* I have a lot to say today, dont I? This is the 4th entry within 15 hours.
Well, I got an e-mail back from one of the girls in my program who is also from Calgary, and it looks like she's looking for a new room mate for next year. So I may be in luck. And I've been in the appartment she's in right now. If she's staying in it over the summer, I love everything about it except the location. It's on the far south endge of the city and NAIT's in the north, but I'll manage. It has 2 bathrooms and ensuite laundry, which is a total bonus. So I'm crossing my fingers.
At this point, I feel like, no matter how hard I study between now and my first two exams, there is no way in hell I'm going to be ready. I hate finals. I really do. I just want to figure out where I'm going to be living next year, and go home. I've had enough.
