[Adaria_Moonlight]'s diary
I think Pharmacology is going to be the course with the potential to break this year for me. I simply can not imagine anything that could be harder for me than this stupid (but yes, completely necessary) class.

For whatever reason, it seems, lately, that if I have a really bad, migraine level headache, the pain killers wont take effect unless I go to sleep for a while. As a result, I slept through Micro-biology today.. A most annoying development.

Today was a good day. This morning -totally- made up for the crappiness that was the beginning of the week. Why? Because I got to ride Erin's horse today *nods, grinning* Not for long, just a couple of turns around the parking lot, but it was bareback and we trotted and it was fun. I haven't ridden in -way- too long. I was giggling madly while we were trotting. Some times the little things are all you need.
Feeling really blah this week for some reason. Maybe it's that it's midterms, which always = less sleep and more stress, maybe it's other things, maybe a combination of both. All I know is that I sure would like to get back to the way I've been for most of the previous weeks, which was pretty damn happy. I've pretty much given up on this week, but next week will be better, right?

It's been one of those sleep dep days, it has. This morning in Radiology, I was giggling and pushing buttons until Ann told me to go sit down and not touch anything...
Damn but I hate not being able to sleep. It happens so rarely.. I honestly cant remember the last time I had this much trouble falling asleep when I wasn't sick. I actually think that the last time this happened was the last time I had the flu real bad, which was, literally, -years- ago. I had such a high fever that anything against my skin was terrible, and laying down was not even an option. How I wished I could float... I was so tired... Except, tonight, I have no idea why I cant sleep. All I know is, I have to go to school tomorrow, so I really -need- to be able to sleep. And there's not even any one on line to talk to.. *sigh*
http://www.you
This song makes me smile every time I hear it..
I am suffused by an unusual sense of well being and peace right now.
It's not very conducive to studying though...
So, yet another headache in the long saga of Angi v.s. electronic devices.
Woke up this morning, and my wireless internet connection had suddenly ceased to function, period. It would not connect to -any- of the networks withing range, either mine, or the two un-secured ones close by. Nothing. I spent almost three solid hours arguing with the damn thing this morning before I gave up.
So I get home from school, and check to see if it's magically fixed it self, which of course it hasnt. Fine, I'll take it in to the service people where I bought it. Call a cab, go to BestBuy, give it to the guy at the Geek Squad desk, and it works perfectly.
At this point I want to pull my hair out and do violent things.... *sigh*
So, long story short, same thing as -always- fucking happens. I really hate my luck with electronics.. I do.
It always happens on weekends. About an hour or two after I get up, I get sleepy and want to go back to bed...
I don't know why, but these last two weeks have just felt like hell. I'm exhausted and frustrated.. I'm so glad I'm done school at noon today. All I want to do is sleep all weekend.. Unfortunately I have way too much studying to do to enjoy that kind of a weekend... Christmas break isn't really -that- far off... right?

Some days all I need for entertainment is just being me. Especially at the end of a long day.
The words written on the study card were "Avoid in patients with liver, kidney, or pancreatic disease"
What -I- read -- "Avoid in kidneys with patient livers"
.... right Angi...heh

Today was fractious cat day at NAIT animal health. I got my first war wounds that actually needed bandaging. It was quite somthing. All the cats were secretly psychotic too. Often times, you can tell a fractious cat right away. They're hissing and spitting and taking swipes at you when you go to retrieve them. Not today's cats though. Nope, they were fine. All happy and arching their backs when you pet them... And then you try and do a physical exam and BAM! psycho cat has it's claws embedded in your arm. To any one who has had a cat hook you like that, you know what an unpleasant feeling it is. The way it tugs at your flesh... *shudders* Not nice at all. I'm glad that she hooked me instead of scratching though, because with how deep she got them in my arm, if she'd pulled, I would have required stitches. As it was my arm and my hand swelled right up because of my allergies.. Good times, good times. But it's all part of the job, right?

I don't know exactly why, but it really feels as though so much of my future hangs on this summer. Maybe it's that I'm turning 25. Maybe it's that I'll finally be done school, and entering a whole new phase of my adult life. It just feels like it's going to be this big transition. Not necessarily bigger than anything I've gone through. Gods know, going from a stable home to the streets and back again was some pretty major transitioning. This feels big in a different way though. Some how more important. I have so many hopes and plans for my future... It kinda feels like this is where it's all going to begin, even though I know that's not true. I feel excited, I feel nervous... It's an odd feeling, and I'll be honest, I kinda hope it's one that goes away. My whole future simply can not hang on this one summer... it's not possible. Such an odd feeling. I've never felt like this before.
I'd really like to just have -fun- this summer, and not think about the future.

Random wandering looking for pictures to use for a school project some how found me at a quiz on whether I was more left or right brain oriented. I get a chuckle out of these things and deciding how accurate I think they are. What do you think?
Angi, with your strong right hemispheric dominance and strong visual preference, you are very likely to fit into most people's stereotype of an artist. You tend to perceive the whole, respond to patterns, overlook differences and seek diversity. You deal with material randomly and intuitively, and you tend to find symbolism everywhere.
For you, categories are temporary, created and recreated as events unfold. Thus learning can be "unlearned" more readily when needed. This implies that you continuously "adapt" to new situations and find differences in situations that others may not notice. Your learning style is naturally dynamic and flexible yet not totally chaotic.
Organization may not be your forte and you are likely to perceive it at times as constricting while recognizing the benefits that come from structure. While capable of being logical, you respond to your own inner-directed
More than most other people, you are self-directed and skilled at moving easily from project to project.
Your visual preference implies that you are active and continuously seeking or processing. You tend not to categorize experiences, but rather simply have them and react to them, integrating it into the whole of your experience. Despite your seeming lack of organization, you are one of those people who can almost always know exactly where you put something and easily relocate it.
Your best learning style is to see materials and relationships as with charts and graphs and retain them easily. However, if asked questions, you may find your access blocked since the input mode is auditory and runs counter to your strengths. You can help yourself by drawing pictures while you take notes, to use your visual talents.
Overall you will do well in endeavors emphasizing the visual such as arts, fashions, or architecture.
Garr... I really don't feel like working on pharmacology right now, or any homework for that matter. *sigh* I'm so much less homework motivated this year than I was last year.. But the truth of the matter is I've really got nothing better to do while I wait for my ride to be done competencies..
I do dislike the fact that most of my friends on here live in such different time zones that we're not often on at the same time. It's a pain in the ass.
Yes, I'm complaining for the sake of complaining. I'm bored.
Today is a perfect fall day. I just got back from walking for groceries and I'm glad I decided to walk instead of ride my bike. It's cool, only about 8 degrees, so I was glad to have my fingerless gloves on, but the walk warms you and the cool air on your face feel wonderful. The sun is bright against the blue with just a few clouds, and walking over the creek, the leaves are a symphony of reds, oranges, yellows and greens. Soon it will be winter and all the color will be washed away, bleached white by the snow. I wish fall was not so short a season, because it's always been a happy one for me.
