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!

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.

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!
