1. I GOT A JOB AT WASCANA REHAB!!!!! as a special care aide. :) i don't start until july 20th, but still, this is awesome. i am way too excited.
2. julian got me a cell phone the other day... :/ which is kinda blah but i need one because i'm going to be on call at work. we went with koodo because they're awesome. i just picked the cheapest phone... a black samsung flip phone. apparently samsung is the greenest company right now or something?
the phone is cute and i like it. i also got a pretty pink case for $3.
it's only costing us $25 a month for 100 anytime minutes, 50 text messages (i never text), and caller ID. all i need. :)
i haven't had a cell in so long, haha, it's kind of weird.
3. ( i talked to my brother james on the phone today. )
4. i finally got myself a GP, and made an appointment for an exam this morning. i had my first pap smear, which was long overdue, and it didn't hurt at all! YAY! i think the fact that i learned how to do pap smears in lab made it a lot less scary.

gah, i feel useless!
i am one week and four days into my summer and i really need a job. i have been trying really hard. i've called places and asked to talk to mean-sounding/intimidating people about getting hired and still i am getting nowhere.
i hate applying for jobs, more than anything. i am not good at being confident.
i am broke, and i feel awful that julian is going to have to start paying for everything.
also, i lost my CPR/AED and first aid certificates in a photocopier at the library. FML.

lucky me finally found a black billabong bikini yesterday that was normally $85 but on sale for 50% off! it's so hard for me to find a swimsuit that fits right but i love this one. the top and bottoms tie up like a handkerchief and it's cute.
julian got off work at 5 pm, and he came up with the wonderful idea that we should drive to moose jaw to go to the mineral spa. it was soooo nice and soooo relaxing. we sat outside in the hot mineral water as it was raining and there were jets flying overhead. :) there was also a parade happening on main street and all we could hear was crazy flute music lol. moose jaw is awesome.
the steam room was amazing. i want one of those in my house.
julian gets such lovely ideas. :D

5:01 pm - you know you're a nursing student when...
|
once an A+ student, your new motto is "C means continue!"
my final grade in surgery is 63.2%.
which isn't so great.
my instructor said if the practicum went on for a few more weeks, my grade would have been better. or, i guess, if she hadn't taken into account all of the mistakes i made in the first half.
she said i should be proud of myself for learning from my mistakes and turning things around like i did, because most students who struggle aren't able to do that. she said she admires me for my resilience.
i'm actually happy with my mark. she passed me, and she knows i can do this. she was actually really encouraging.
so, combined with my may practicum mark of 88.29%... my final grade for practicums is 75%. i suppose i'm okay with that!
i was talking to another student, and she told me not to worry about my mark. she said she'd consider herself lucky to get a 70% from kathy. apparently, one of the students who is known for being a hard worker/very smart got an 85% from kathy last semester... which is probably the highest mark she has ever given.
she's been teaching for ages and she's really hard on students/expects a LOT. we all find her pretty intimidating.
this month was kind of a wake up call for me, as i am becoming more like a nurse and less like a student. maybe i wasn't as dedicated this year as i should have been. when you're just going to classes, you kinda just want to get through them and it's hard to apply what you're learning when you have to wait until the end of the year to do so. if i had kept the mindset that soon i was going to have to do this on my own with confidence in clinical practice... or if i somehow knew that clinical was going to be difficult for me even though i was getting 80s on exams, i think i would have tried harder. i was always getting such good marks and i never felt really challenged, so i guess i thought i could slack off.
i just feel stupid when i think about it, haha.
lesson learned!
i kind of wish i was in surgery for two months instead of one, because i feel like i could have learned/grown so much more.
although it was easy and i got a good grade, i would have definitely sacrificed my community mental health rotation at the daycare for more med/surg experience. i am really anxious about third year and i hope i am prepared. my confidence has taken a critical hit but also grown a lot. i'm trying to forgive myself and forget and move forward from here.
it would be nice to get a special care aide job for the summer. i neeeed experience.

i had a rough day (first 12 hr shift), and this is just what i needed:
Between You and Julian Kelly
Today at 11:20am
my favourite mango bum
i am so proud of you. and so happy that i can be with you. i won't leave you no matter what. and i think we would make such loving and caring parents that everyone would be jealous of how content our family is. you are so diligent with your school and you make me want to be as dedicated as you are to something. and i want that something to be you.
i love you.
it's 8:15 pm and i have a lot of preparing to do for tmor... and i don't know how much sleep i'm going to get before my alarm goes off at 4:20 am. but julian makes it all easier.
