PANCAKE MIX!!!!

the nursing semipermeable membrane

So it's beginning...a few of my friends and people who have been in my classes are beginning to drop out of nursing or drop courses which pushes them out of our graduating class. It's a shame to seem them go but at the same time some may want to do their own things or just take their time with this program. It also makes me nervous.. am I going to be one of those people pushed back or drop out? Dropping out is NOT an option..being pushed back is a fear. I don't think I can put more time on this than I already have. I seem to be doing decent in my courses I am not quite sure about Nursing theory *crosses fingers, arms and legs* So the title speaks for itself..those who want to become nurses are to enter the semipermeable membrane.

hmm

Is Switzerland really neutral?

I'm exhausted. I did my two tests today, which DID NOT GO WELL AT ALL. I am so disappointed with myself because I know I could have done better. Luckily, this kind of stuff doesn't really get me down and discouraged.. so now I see Tests #3 for both courses as a challange to work my ass off for and do well on.
After class, me and my bf went to look for a dress for a wedding at this month. Yeah I know..you have till the end of the month what's the rush? I just want to get it OUT of my way. I despise dress shopping. Casual clothes.. I dont mind. But dress shopping is one of those things that strip me of my sanity, self esteem and any confidence that exists. Well I'm going to get to bed. I have work this weekend. I also will start studying for my tests AHEAD of time, thus I'm starting this weekend. I reviewed a bit of patho. today but meh don't think it was that much.

cutie-patootie

seriously.. sometimes I just miss those days when he would just swim around in his bowl when I clean his tank. Now he has mastered escaping his bowl. I have upgraded to a bigger bowl. My dad's laundry basin (washed thoroughly before use of ...of course) .

hehe he looks like he's smiling when I was taking the picture.

NO SLEEP

Those of you who know me VERY WELL you are well aware I value my sleep...no matter what.. I need it. Well a peculiar event has taken place:
I haven't slept..all night. Now I've done this random not sleep till 5 once before this semester because of a project due two weeks back. As for today, it was not forced. I just couldn't sleep. So here are the reasons why I think I couldn't sleep. I list these because I am tired of frikken studying and I rather do this...
(1) I had a medium iced coffee...which was really heavy on the coffee
(2) Had some of my bf's iced cappacino (or w/e it's called)
(3) I read how there is going to be a Paranormal activity 2 and it freaked the shit out of me. Well I found out a while back, when me, bf, his sister and her bf (wow...that sounds so messed) were at the library and we came across the trailer. I didn't watch it but all I heard was his sister gasp and say "omg she's standing by the crib..there's a baby!!" *shudders*
(4) I had some tea ...which doesnt have as much caffeine as coffe but there is caffeine.
(5) As I laid in bed..sleepless. I worried about the fact I couldn't sleep..which further contributed to it due to the anxiety.

So what's my plan... stay up I mean lol I need to get up in 1.5 hrs. Come home and catch up on some Zs. Hey the suns up...Poor jojo's been up since I've been up. I was scared so I turned on the light and went to look at him in his tank and what he was doing. He was sleeping, nestled in this river rocks with his eyes closed. He looked so adorable! And then he realized the light was on and he shook his head and opened his eyes. bahahaha and viola he saw me! bahaah He looked alert though..like his face "whats going on?! is the world ending?!" but yeah he's been up to. poor kiddo.

musings

I am totally screwed for these two tests this friday. No this is not complaining or whining.. I am totally screwed. Not going to get into details..because I will freak myself out..oh dear god I just thought of them while typing this. *sigh* I've entered my hysterical phase of test preperation.

Jojo just keeps getting fatter and fatter. Okay not really I just assume so because everytime I see him he's begging for food. Sheesh why does he have to be so frikken cute? WHY? Jojo is my first non-human child.

I hate the dentists...it's always bad news "you need to floss, you need to come more often...you need to stop trying to bite my hand" The last one is a JOKE! remember people... hysterical phase. Well anyways..yeah He wants me to floss, I tried tonight. I spent 15 minutes in the washroom, I swear my fuckin jaw/mouth was hurting.

I've come to the conclusion my bf reminds me alot of spongebob squarepants..you know the cheerfulness and excessive optimism. Seriously me being the cynic I wonder how that's humanly possible?

For some reason feels like my brain stems hurting..most likely the way I positioned my head most of the day. SEEING THAT MY HEAD WAS IN A FUCKIN BOOK. I did however go for a run. Hated it because I always want to bust out dancing becuase my ipod's got some good music on it..and well I can't because I have to consider public safety.

Spain won.. woohoo.. hmm wasn't that AHH about it but hey I got to give it to spain for winning it for the first time. I guess it's kinda sucky having the same teams win over and over again. So atleast they go their name in. Sheesh ronaldo (portugal) named his son after himself. The mother is unknown, and tabloids are saying its either a one night stand or a surrogate mother..hmm what do you think? =\ *sigh* but I have to say another 4 years for Fifa to come back.

soccer

I want to join a soccer team. No it's not the Fifa games... I've been wanting to for so long. I just dont know when and where and if I have the skills. It's been a long time since I played soccer...so yeah. Than I had a motivating talk with my best friend (which is why I love her) the other day about if you feel like doing something ignore the doubt and just do it. SooOOoo I emailed the head coach asking for general details. Hope it all goes well... either way I know my number one priority is nursing. So before doing this I really need to consider everything.
Speaking of soccer, the Ghana vs. Urguay game was intense.. at the last 1/2 minute Ghana nearly gets it in than Suarez (who is NOT even the frikken goalie) slaps it out of the net. He was given a red card. If he hadn't of done that, Ghana would have won. Instead Ghana got the penalty kick, it didn't go in. It then went on to penalty kicks. And Uruguay got it in. AND PLEASE I don't want to hear the bullcrap Oh well Ghana had the oppurtunity to score in the penalty kicks..PENALTY KICKS WAS NOTHING SIMILAR TO THE SHOT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GET. It was such a devastating and intense game. Me and my brother started screaming and yelling and my mom freaks out thinking something happened. =\ This was such an odd turn out for Fifa; Brazil is out, Portugal is out, Italy is out. All the main "brand" name soccer teams are out. Im not sure who is going to win, I haven't really seen all of the teams play just because last two week were crazy for me. But I got to say those Germans are like androids lol so hmm. I'm really unsure at this point. Urguay is the smallest country in Fifa.
Well I just came home from a run. Im going to go shower my stinkiness AWAAAAAAAAY. I did some studying but tommorow I need to continue. I also need to start looking at my PPG seeing I have a midterm this friday.

centreville- wards island

This colourful bird was really quick and moving. It was busy eating away and I tried to get the best shot I could.

Little bird relaxing with some peanuts in front of him or her.

Mother duck and her ducklings in the background. According to the best friend, standing on one foot was her defence stance to prove that she has strength to kick our ass. :P

My pirate ship!

So instead of going to the typical centreville beach are we went to Ward's point. It was relaxing, the place wasn't crowded and the weather was perfect. Hanlan's point was the clothing optional beach...so uhm lol we decided to go to Ward's. It was nice to just sit on the rocks, catch up and talk. Afterwards we went for sushi at this restaurant. They give alot in a bento box but it's worth it and it all fills you up really quick! Above are some photos from the trip.

Rattlesnake Point Hiking.

These conservation areas are located right beside each other. It's past oakville but worth the travel. We've been to another one in the area forgot the name. Rattlesnake's speciality is the high look out points and you can actually rock climb down the cliffs. We've considered doing that but it's pricey and I think I need to look into it more. Because Im not sure if equipment and training is included or not. But uhm We'll see how things turn out I guess. Above are a few photos from the hike.
