WOW its already the end of christmas!
I seriously can't believe it, Christmas is over and done, school has finished and everything is going smoothly,except for the fact that I seem to be missing something, oh yeah, SANITY!
I have had 2 count them 2 days off so far, last Saturday and today, Wednesday. They are few and far between.
I went skating with the 'rents today, I know, lame, but they bought me new skates and that was cool. We need to do more of that. the weather for skating was perfect and the Victoria park Oval was really nice. Hawrlack park was closed due to unsafe ice conditions, meaning that the weather is NOT cold enough to freeze the lake, but I'll take what I can get today.
I work right up to new years, but as I worked Christmas, I get New Year's OFF ! thank god, Jenn & Owen, Prepare the spare bed for me, I'm gonna be DRUNK! hahahaha
I just need to make sure that Sandra (boss @ CHL) knows that I need fridays off. I had forgotten about dance class when I wrote out my availability. Oops!
well I thought this year was nice. (Christmas wise) very little stress at my house, and apparently good timing for Christmas at Mel and Nicks house. ( for more info see Mel's blog)
New Years at Jenn and Owens should be fun, games food and drinks and good times! and a new year to start again and try something new!

Sugar
I think I need to stop eating sugar.
At this moment, I am bouncing, and I haven't been like this since we got hyped up on sugar for a midnight screening at the theatre.
and it is OK, a better feeling than some that I have had.
I can't seem to stop the bouncing.

Being bad, or at least naughty
HAHAHAHA I am at this precise moment of typing, SKIPPING CLASS!
I know its terrible, but I needed the break and I was NOT driving back downtown after my 5 minute appointment at the dentist. I'm sooo bad.... hahahah
I was at the dentist because I managed to break my splint. cracked it right in half.
Luckily they were able to send it back to the lab and have it back to me in less than 24 hours. and the huge bonus here, at NO COST!!!
hahahaha
so at least I am laughing, after my day yesterday. I was very near to frostbite, when AMA finally showed up to unlock my car. which was running. man I'm a idiot when it comes to that. yes Melanie I still haven't learned my lesson about my keys in the ignition.
for clarification of this story, as Mel, she'll tell you, with great delight about what happened last year.

Christmas is coming
Well its on its way. Christmas.
A fairly fun happy time, when we all get together and eat and drink way too much. ( If any one has a heart attack or chokes I'm sure I will know what to do thanks to my Health Care Provider First aid)
the only thing that gets me down at this magical time is that it feels like all the people around me are couples and I'm not. still. I think that once I actually find that guy, Christmas is going to be the best. I'm not going to be the 40-something in the family that still lives on her own, alone with like a thousand dogs or cats or whatever.
I need to get out and be on my own I think. (actually I know!)
As for the rest of the season, shopping for example. I have cut back this year in terms of numbers of presents. 2 separate gift exchanges and it is saving me a bundle! besides, I certainly don't need piles and piles of stuff. I have plenty as it is.

Something other than school
Well at the momnet there is very little to talk about other than school.
So I suppose that I might be able to mention the unusual ammount of sex related entertainment that happened this past week.
So last thursday, Jenn & Owen, Mel & Nick, and Janice & I went to Eden. Jenn had "won" a limo package. ( Actually both Mel and I had "won" too, but we don't have enough people to fill 3 limo's) And it was a night at the strippers. The dancing was mediocre at best and only one of the girls managed to impress us with her pole work. Honestly we do more dancing in our level 1 class (which is over now, until January :-( )
Well after that fun night and an early morning the next day, Friday we end up at the Taboo, naughty but nice sex show. which was fun, and neat to watch the burlesque show. The girls from Showgirls were raunchy! Nasty even, but I suppose that just isn't my cup of tea.
Then along came Saturday and our last class. (which I had a break down in, that was at the time hard to talk about and frustrating.) And after that Mel and I went back to the sex show, trying to get a pair of boots. After all the trouble we had getting in to the damn thing, we find out that the shipment of boots had NOT come in and we ended up with nothing but a headache and sore feet for our efforts. Oh well.
And to top it off, I had to tell the story of it all at school today. Which means I ended up telling about me flashing the hostess for a door prize, which was crazy and kind of not me at all, but it was all in good fun ( to Jenn, Janice and Owen, I hope I did not scar you for life, with the flash of side boob that I know you saw) I won a t-shirt and another limo package to Eden, but I gave that away. (kept the shirt)

Ahhh the light was shown to me...
The light really does exist, its called November.
Meaning that hell week is over, and there are a limited number of days and classes left before my exciting adventure known as placement starts. I just wish I knew what they were. oh well sooner or later I'm sure.
I am having so much fun in the pole dancing class with the girls, I have perma- bruises, just like the others, and proud of it. Badges of honor, trust me its worth the bruising to be able to be flexible and dance like that. ( Girls you want to spice things up, try pole dance lessons, trust me) And after the back-hurting incident, its totally cool to be able to bend over and not twinge.
Now I just need someone to show just how flexible and sexy I've become. Maybe I'll find a nice German guy, when we go next year.
Next year, no there's a light to be looking forward too. Graduating, moving out, Getting a great job, going to Germany. and if you think about it, the time will just fly by and those things will be here and I will need to be ready. I know I will be.
so cheers to all who have had a hell week, its over and what is ahead is gonna be great!

The light, glorious light!!!
It has finally arrived! the end of October! and all the stress of hell week has gone. the exams are over (for the moment) and I had my fun at Jenn's party, drinking and eating and dressing up. Jenn as lame as the mystery part was, being the ship's serving wench was fun.
You know thinking on it, dressing up was my favorite thing to do when I was little. being someone else for a few hours is freeing and gives me at least, a different perspective on things. Just not being me is good, and I know its only for a while but its a fun time.
So my advice is if you need to forget your issues, dress up and create a new persona for a while. It may just be fun.
Especially when you can flash a lot of flesh! hahahah Owen we need those pics online.
Now to work on the rest of the list of things to do, but they don't seem to have the crushing weight that they did a few days ago, what with the light back.

I think its getting darker
and I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel!
October just can't be done soon enough. GRRRRRR
all the things that are happening and I just want it to be over.
Fair warning, Jenn I plan on drinking heavily at your party and sleeping over.
My list of shit to do just keeps growing and well I'm so tired of it already and its been 3 days.
In case you couldn't tell this has become my complaining blog entry and hopefully soon there will be more interesting and uplifting things to talk about but right now I just need to bitch!
I have 3 exams to do before the week is out and I can really let loose.
Jenn you might want to move the breakables. hahahaha .....but really
the light is fading (both literally and figuratively)
the darkness scares me.
I need a light (hahahah so I can light up.... a doobie)hahahahahah

Moving along
So things are moving along here in the world of Jocelyn. This is good. Assignments are getting done and the weeks are moving rather quickly, EEP!
October is almost over and the list is (FINALLY) getting shorter and the feeling that I have had in the pit of my stomach that made me want to run screaming into the sunset, is nearly gone.
I just finished 2 assignments that are due and now I need to study for the exams that are coming up at the end of the month. WHEW.
Matt and Sandy are coming home on Friday AM but we are going to be keeping not only the dogs, but Aiden too for the weekend. That's ok, Mom is SOOOO excited for him, even more than Matt and Sandy.
Pole dancing class started and I love it, though it definitely shows me my weak areas, which tends to be most of my areas! oh well that's about to change. Girls you know what I mean. hahahah

comming to conclusions
My realization of the day was that my life does NOT hang in the balance of one assignment. As much as I want to be an amazing student and have a incredible GPA, it just isn't gonna happen. If I try to keep beating my head against this PT assignment I'll go crazy when I get my average mark, as that is what I get anyway, even when I really try.
So aside from double booking (which I hope to have rearranged by Saturday so I can be at the class and with the girls) I think things are looking up.
I just want to say that this is not giving up or settling, its setting priorities and accepting what is reality.
One more week of crazy needy dogs at our house, and just a few more weeks of October!
The light is at the end of the tunnel and I think I can see it!

So the survival of October continues.
October has to be the worst month for me in terms of school and exams and assignments.
I have the most due this month. I think it all adds up to more than the rest of the 3 months combined. My friend Lindsay is leaving for home before the end of the month ( I'll really miss her!) Jenn's b-day is at the end of the month, and not to mention wanting to actually see the rest of my friends ( Nola, I swear, soon!) and We have 3 dogs living with us at the moment who desperately need some attention as they don't get any from Matt and Sandy. Plus on top of everything, I had to go and get sick. and it is mostly over now, after missing work and 3 days of sleeping, though there is a constant feeling of phlegm in my throat. Sorry I know that's gross but hey this is my blog! hahahah
It feels like October may never end, or if it does (by some strange miracle) I feel like I may have missed something, so far I seem to be keeping my head above water. lets hope it stays there!

Life continues
Life continues here in the nest, but it really is busy.
With the labs that I am working on, we end up at other facilities some days to be able to use the equipment that we don't have at MacEwan.
Like tonight, we were supposed to be at the Glenrose pool for our Hydrotherapy lab, but it got cancelled! BOOO
The kicker is that I was looking forward to this lab. and it gets cancelled. "ain't that just crap!" I say. oh well

This drives me crazy
So i have had almost an entire weekend to work on the several assignments or study for the exam i have on Wednesday, and I manage to get started on 7:00 on Sunday night!!!!! Grrrrrr
I mean I must be the queen of procrastination!
I hate that I manage to do this to myself! I know exactly what I have to do and I avoid it like the plague, until I have a serious deadline that impedes not only me but the partner that I am working with ( who tends to procrastinate as much as I do)
well hopefully this turns around before too long!

Things that go....
cars, boats trains, ect....
myself, I think I am GOing crazy. I have an exam on Monday and I haven't really studied. I have an Internet course to work on and I hate it! internet courses SUCK.
I have more fun talking to Christine or Jacinthe or Janice or Tanis at school. we play speed scrabble or sevens and totally ignore the fact that if you fail a course, you can't graduate. so here I am typing on my blog, not working at what I should, but I could care less.
MEH
Money is running out and I can feel that its gonna be a tight one this Christmas. If I was smart I'd be shopping already but even that feels like work and I'd rather not.
( OMG !!! call the ambulance, Jocelyn not wanting to shop!!! that's sick)
I think I need a change of life/pace. school can't be done soon enough. I think I'm going to travel as soon as possible after I'm done. not just on vacation (though I'm doing that first) and then maybe finding work over seas (Europe) and seeing how that works.
oh and that other change that is needed well, involves a guy and even though that's not new news, its wearing on me.
Nicki is bugging over something and I have no idea. I think she has more issues than she is willing to admit too. the other day she freaked at me (big time) over a glass of juice. and well it just doesn't seem right
GRRRR
sigh

a RanDoM cOlLecTion oF thOUgHts
I'm feeling random today. things are going well with school. even the one course I was seriously worried about. (PT) but things are working out ok. We had PT lab today and were working on stretches and concentrating on core stability, MAN OH MAN did some of that hurt! just goes to show how quickly it leaves you! But should anyone be looking for core stability ideas, talk to me when I have my PT binder with me and I'll show you something!! (well that could be taken two ways, hehehehe!)
Yes I am still single and the prospects are not looking good. but I have decided to just let will happen happen. knowing me I'll trip over the man of my dreams literally.

Because I had too....
I was watching TV the other day, The Bugs Bunny and Tweety show was on and Pepe Le Pew had said something that caught my attention.
" All you need is occupational therapy, like making love"
and it was the funniest thing.
" All you need is occupational therapy, like making love"
and it was the funniest thing.
Of things unrelated
So news since the last post. Nicki and Aaron have gotten engaged and are estactically happy. I am so happy for her, but I find myself strangely jealous of her. It feels like once again I am left to be alone in all things related to love. Oh well good things come to those who wait. But that little voice inside my head asks " who wants to wait?"
So I went to the movies tonight and as we came out there was a young guy begging. It makes me angry that there is such injustice in the world that a guy who is obviously capable of work, can't because of his lack of address. I'm not saying that I would trade places with him, but it really did make me think about how absolutely lucky I am for all that I have. There needs to be some way of making changes in this world that will work functionally for those who need it. I wish I was the kind of person who might be able to make those changes.
School started and its gonna be a tough one. Physical therapy is going to be my challenge, but with a little luck and some hard work, I'll make it. Though PT is tough, I think its nice to know that I have some direction in Occupational therapy. And before you ask, OT is rehabilitation that applies to whatever that which a person is occupied with. From working with construction workers to kids in school, learning to get dressed after an injury to almost anything that you do in life. If you are still confused you need to talk to me because its complicated.
but life goes on and I have to go with it

Just an update
So officially I am on vacation and am supposed to be done work for the summer, but as it turns out, I get to keep working with Resource Supports for a while, now how long that will be remains to be seen, but I'll take what I can get.
As it is I am enjoying doing very little on my time off, but am surprisingly helpful to my mom and sister at the flip house that they are currently painting. Its strange, most people hate painting, but I tend to enjoy it. maybe its the high from the smell..... you never know!!! hahaha
I need some new reading material. But I'm poor from paying tuition and need my last big pay check. I'd better get used to being poor! SIGH
that's all folks!

Things that bust by butt
So Nicki ( my sister) has, since I moved back home, gone on and on about how we are now living together and we are more like room mates. we all have to pitch in, right?
Well lately I have been feeling like the go to girl for shit that needs to get done around the house, dishes, taking charlie out cleaning the house. and its most frustrating because if I say something to any one it sounds like I'm being petty and selfish.
But really Nicki was actually home for dinner tonight and ate with us as a family and once again my father and I got stuck doing dishes. Nicki plops her self down on the couch and ignores the racket I was making in the kitchen as a hint for her to come and help.
how many times did we argue over that same scenario with out positions switched???
I realize this could be Karma coming back at me but it still really burns my butt and I hate that I feel like this.
Its not that I feel that one of us works at our jobs harder than the other, but we do still live at home and we are still room mates as she put it. so why does she get the free pass on this kind of shit and I don't?
I think I am going on strike here!
Well lately I have been feeling like the go to girl for shit that needs to get done around the house, dishes, taking charlie out cleaning the house. and its most frustrating because if I say something to any one it sounds like I'm being petty and selfish.
But really Nicki was actually home for dinner tonight and ate with us as a family and once again my father and I got stuck doing dishes. Nicki plops her self down on the couch and ignores the racket I was making in the kitchen as a hint for her to come and help.

It feels like the end
and I think that because I have 8 actual work days before I have vacation time and then back to school, which I am actually looking forward too. I think things will be more interesting this 2nd year back than the one for ECD because I actually have a group of people that I am looking forward to seeing. Last time it was crap and boring. This year will be good. that's my mind set and I'm sticking to it!
Here's a question is it weird to start to get to know a guy that has the same name as my ex?
I started chatting with a Josh online last night and it was odd. other than his name being Josh, there is absolutely no similarity to Josh the bastard!. but still it was odd.
let me know what you think.

Men, dumb bastards that they are....
Men, being the dumb idiots they are, continue to play with unsuspecting minds and then mess with them and leave those poor minds reeling as to what happened!
The latest guy from Lavalife turned out to be a schmuck and a looser.
To any guy who reads this: realize that leaving a young woman in a fairgrounds at midnight, to walk to her car,alone, 5 blocks away, is NOT a good idea. He's lucky that I wasn't apart of the morning news the next day. and with that stupid move, he nailed the last nail in his dating coffin. So much for that dude, and on to the next, who I'm sure will have more common sense than a teaspoon.

life continues
you know at some point in the last little while i have realized that life continues no matter what. you come and go to work and then home and no matter what you think of the rest of your life it just keeps passing along. So I think that this is why I've been re invigorated about finding a guy. The weeks are just flowing by at such a fast rate that I could blink and I would be back at school and have had noting but work to occupy my summer and that thought is depressing.
Maybe thats why I'm feeling like I need to be moving faster, that I need to keep up with the speed of life.
HUMMMMMM....

why o why do I get all the crazies!?!?!
Ok so I know that there are people out there with tastes different from mine, but do ya have to make me feel like a jerk for telling you no?
so the story is that on Lavalife a chick from Turkey mails me a message that asks about getting to know me and I have to tell her sorry, but the fact that she sent me a really rude message back was really quite rude, I thought!
I wasn't mean to her, just said "no thanks" and I get crap back!
I mean really, people learn some manners!
and that's all I have to say about that!

Horoscopes- Gemini
You have difficulty communicating what is on your mind -- usually because you fear being humiliated and doubt your own intelligence and mental capacities. You may try and compensate for this by working very hard at studies. You are deep and intellectual under the surface -- but often what you present is either intolerance and quiet or being over talkative. This usually is because of a fear of new ideas, even your own. If you examine your own motivation closely you might find that you use these things to avoid situations that might require a new outlook. In order to overcome your feelings of isolation you might try to connect more with your own motivation. You could find that your own ideas are completely acceptable, even valuable.
Ok so this was the horoscope from the Edmonton journal today, and I thought it was weird, in that its fairly accurate.
So I'm not saying that I completely believe in these things, but honestly they do hit the nail on the head more than one might think.

So its almost here
So the big 2-4 is almost here and the party is planned, the people invited and the rest has been thought about.
The best part, the jello shooters, are unfortunately, not happening! AWWWWW
That is unless someone can come up with another idea on how to make them.

The way things go
So I have always tried not to fall into the trap of being one of a crowd, sometimes it didn't quite go the way I wanted it to ( Jr. High for example) but things like this blog and Face book were things that I never thought more about than when a friend mentioned it. and here I am with a blog and a space on Face book. Not only that but I am currently chatting with a guy from Egypt (of all places) wild, Eh! The things that can happen to a person if they just try. well that's probably the most interesting thing that has happened in the past few days.
Oh yeah I have lost 3.5 lbs in the past 2 weeks! Yay for me!

Sigh, but good things to look forward too!
Its sad that now that I am done school, I can finally appreciate things ( men) without thinking of them in terms of anatomy, the only thing is, that there aren't any men to appreciate!
Sigh, my love life is sad but I still feel good about my life.
Carmen, Nola and I are planning a trip to Mexico or the Carribean, for about a week at the Christmas break. Its very exciting to be planning it!

Life just keeps getting better and better.....!
So not only is my new job going well, I just saw my marks and am happy to say that my GPA has gone from 2.4 to a 3.30! which is great for me and I am totally excited! The letter grades are A-, B+,B- &B-. I know that might be only OK for some of you out there, but for me that is bordering on excellent!
FANTASTIC!
FANTASTIC!

Back to work
Well I started my new job today and it was OK but for the fact that my team ( coworkers) were both sick and so I ended up doing filler in work and I was very bored. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Ok SO I went a little overboard
OK so last night was a blast, but honestly I have never been that drunk!
The drinking started early and went long in to a really fun evening once it got started. I never thought I could do tequila shots like that, but I suppose I could.

FINALLY!
FINALLY THE EXAMS ARE DONE! whew! I needed to get that off my chest and man it is fantastic!
I've gotten a few marks back and I'm feeling good about how my marks will turn out, so far 70% has been my lowest mark and I am OK with that.
Let the drinking commence!

so ready for the drinking to commence!
well it has all come down to this, the LAST exam and it should go fine.
I registered for next year and after that I checked out my grades and I have gotten an A- in the one class i did very little for and couldn't care less as to how well I did. maybe that's the secret for classes, don't care or worry and you do fine!
So plans are under way for the drinking to start Thursday evening at the stolli's bash and I got a phone call from my boss and she says to me, "we are having a staff meeting on Friday at 900 am, will you be there?" and what should I have said? "no I'll be so hung over it won't be possible!" well being the good girl I am I said, "well I'm not busy Friday, so I think I should be able to come." and my boss being the smart lady she is, caught on and replied with " so you're going out Thursday?" and we laughed.
More up dates to come on the weekend of drinking!

I'm a geek but hey its OK
So I was leaving the college after my practical today and stopped at a light are 2 cops on bikes and they were fine young men, both of them and you know the first thing that popped into my head was "man they have really well developed gastrox and soleus muscles which made me laugh. The rest of them was too covered up with cop paraphernalia to see how fine they were but I'd still imagine them to be quite toned!
PS those are muscles of the calf. I need to be done school to begin to appreciate the male form for what it is and not an anatomy lesson, though that could be fun too!

The turkeys half done, chicklets!
So half done the exams and am looking forward to its completion. I made such an ass of myself today! The pressure got to me just as I was starting the practical in functional anatomy. I blanked and couldn't remember a thing. I had to find 4 things and do 1 ROM ( range of motion) and 10 minutes to do it in. I really wanted to cry when the professor kept asking me "are you sure?, is there another way to do that? and Talk me through it Jocelyn." She was really helpful and I did eventually get everything figured out but did I feel like a shumck! I had relatively easy land marks to find and just in case you were keeping score, I had to find (on my patient) her Pisiform, her Infraspinatus muscle, her Iliac crests and her peroneus brevis tendon. then had to do her external ROM in her shoulder. trust me as far as things that could have come up it was on the easy side, right up until I tried to find infraspinatus and couldn't remember how. man that was my down fall and as soon as I got nervous everything else was toast. But in the end with coaching from the prof and a few subtle hints from my patient everything was done and now I get to look forward to tomorrow, which will come with its own rant I'm sure. Jenn thanks to you for the hit of reality last night. It really helped and thank you for that!

Where is Jiminy Cricket when you need him?
Ahhh the fun that will be had once this hell is over. Yes the party will begin on Thursday and not end until the day before I have to start work. ( this will be the following Monday) If you are looking to join me at the year end party I will be glad to give you details, just let me know
I came down to my computer for the third time today and yet again I find that I cannot study. It just escapes me that I can't focus on what will essentially become my career. I don't want to have an average mark and have been working towards that goal for a long time and right now I could care less about what I have to do to achieve my goal. I know what I want and how to get it but I cant bring myself to do it. I look over at my binders and flash cards and just shrug my shoulders and turn on the music and block out my conscience. It is so depressing to think that I can't bring myself to live up to my own expectations.
My brain is just going into a tailspin with all the consequences of my lack of motivation. I just imagine what all you out there must be thinking about me and then I think about why I should care about what others are thinking and that this whole issue has started with student burn out and that I should just get over it.
I could keep going in this way until there is no room in my post left but I hope that most of you get the idea of where my head is at. If you are a student out there and can leave me a message as to how to get past this please help a poor student out!
signing out from what feels like the twilight zone!

Exam Woes
So now 2 down and 4 to go. Fridays exam was super easy. I don't even care if I fail. I had 90% going in to the exam and felt like I had done about 75% on it. but I could care less. That class was pointless and boring "introduction to the Health and Education systems" man I get sleepy just talking about it.
But there you have it my exam rant for now. Thursday, April 12, 2007
so it continues
so life continued today, the first exam went well or so I think.
I got home and decided it was so nice out to take Charlie to the dog park. the weather was perfect and what would you know, but I managed to meet a very nice guy (Curtis) and his 2 beautiful dogs. Apparently Thursdays at noon is the time to meet good looking guys at the dog park. Now seeing as we had just met I didn't think to ask if he was attached but hey it cant hurt to just talk to new people right? Lindsay you would be proud of me, to that matter so would all of my friends knowing how sadly shy I am. so there you have it I am going to change things in my life! And it starts today.

Just because I could
I like this blog, this could be fun or it could lose its appeal after a few entry's, but I will try not to let that happen.
I don't know why it took me so long to try it.
The only thing of note to mention is that I have 6 exams starting tomorrow and that I'm half freaking out about it and the other half of me is really unconcerned with it. I suppose that's my curse as a Gemini.
I also start my new job in 2 weeks and that should be just fine because I've already worked there and have been asked back twice by the same boss ( which was really quite flattering to me) The funny part is that I am most excited about not having to wear jeans every day for fear of wreaking a nice pair of pants or a new shirt. I get to go shopping and not consider that paint might attack me. and Oh don't forget the shoes! I can finally have a legitimate excuse to wear the cute shoes I find at Winners (which is even better than Payless)
So considering all that I suppose that life is OK, but I need to get through the next 8 days to keep my sanity.

So this is the begining
Allrighty then
Here we go!
Ahhh to write something for the world to see
And wouldn't you know it I really don't have anything interesting to say.
I have to say, in my own defense, that being a student during exam week I'm not doing any thing more exciting than studying.
Non studying more like. I was working until Owen told me to visit his and Jenn's blog and well I read that for about 45 minutes and then decided that I wanted one and set it up.
So this is it.
and it will be a testament to all that is me
and I shake my head at how boring this must be to others.
Oh well more exciting news later
Same bat channel, Same bat time!
