School Blues

Geez, how long was it since my last update?

Anyhew, summer vacation is now officially over. What can I say about summer of '05? Well, let's just say it could've been better. I haven't seen a single natural body of water, for chrissakes! But twas okay. I spent it vegging around the house and writing. Yeah, writing. You know, that SoR fic I started last year. I was able to complete 13 chapters but I'm currently stuck at chapter 14. I've no idea why, but it seems that I'm in a major writing rut.

The last few weeks of summer wasn't all bad though. Nic and I went to Saich's for four days and three nights like I originally planned at the beginning of the vacation. Vegging, pigging out and doing nothing is so much better with friends, I think.

I wasn't able to go with the barkada to La Union. I hope I do next time.

On the last Friday before school started, the girls of the barkada went on a night out. (Well, except for Nic who just got her period and was having major menstrual pains.) Went to The Basement again in Libis. Damn, I've missed dancing too much! We won't be able to do that again until semestral break I'm sure. Feh.

So school's now started. Talk about a major reality check. We have classes Monday til Wednesday and hospital duty on Thursday til Saturday. My RLE group is assigned in the Operating Room in UST Clinical Division, and on the first day of duty, we were already given OR Manuals to study. We have so much to study for! (I suppose that's one of the reasons for my writing rut.) We were also informed that we might have night shifts now. Woooow. I feel like a professional now. *snorts*

But the OR shift looks like fun, even though it's really tedious. I just hope I still get enough writing time to write What You Least Expect. I'm really excited to write the climax and denouement of the story, I just haven't gotten to it yet. Gaaaaahh.

And oh. That boy is sending so many whack signals again. Damn him.

Oh shit. I hafta go. I've class in a few hours.

Until later.

One Major Case Down!
POSTED AT 11:47 PM

I got my first case as an Operating Room nurse yesterday, and got to assist on an Exploratory Laparotomy procedure (I'm not even going to try to explain that) on a four-month-old child. It was three-and-a-half hours long, and fucking tedious (since it required me to stand the whole time; I got home at eight-thiry in the evening) but it was great. I can't wait to get my second case.

Anyway, in other...err...news...Hah! I freakin' finished writing chapter 14 of What You Least Expect! I've been stuck in that chapter for at least a month now, and finally I finished writing it! (It's still very roughly edited, but at least the major parts of the chapter are already written down) The good parts are now under way! But I can't write chapter 15 just yet, because I still have to edit chapter 10, which is what I've uploaded so far. (The fic has garnered 91 reviews already, yay me!)

School...well, I'm taking it so much more seriously now. The grading system switched from standard deviation to base 65, which means in every test, we have to at least get 65% (like 21 out of a 30 item test...I think) in every test to pass. If we don't pass, we have to take a retest, where the highest possible score is only the passing mark. It sucks really, but it scared me into studying more.

Haven't seen much of my friends lately. (Well, except for the ones in my block. Duh.) I don't have much of a social life right now, to tell you the truth. I'm invited to this party on Saturday night, and Nicole was asking if I wanted to go clubbing on the same night, but I was "saved" from the task of deciding because I had hospital duty from 6pm to 6am. Gah. I'm missing out on two parties because of school. Am I a loser or what?!

Buuuut, the barkada has planned out a dinner outing for us tonight, which should be fun. Nothing big, just get dinner at The Old Spaghetti House and catch up with each other. I'm going there straight out of the hospital.

I'm gaining weight! My uniforms are starting to tighten up. Goddamn school's opening days and the fast foods in every freakin corner! Goddamn slow metabolism! Goddamn Reese's Pieces and all the chocolate in the world!

Ok. I'm done now.

And I think that about covers the recent happenings in my life. 'Til later then. Ja.

Do you want to know what your tarot card is?

Positive: The Star represents hopes and dreams and the optimism associated with realizing ones hearts desires. The Star is the initial spark of hope that arises from the dust when everything around us seems desolate and bleak. The Star is a renewal of faith in life and our Creator. It represents regeneration and renewal of all the good that life has to offer. The Star also represents the limitless possibilities that life has to offer, from our childish wishes to the high ideals we hold as adults. The Star is the guiding light we have been wishing on all of our lives in hopes of a better tomorrow. While similar to the motivation behind The Fool card, The Star differs in that we have hope beyond whatever our fears may bring. It represents a moment of peace, a reflection of light, or the wonderment of a child.

Negative: Reversed this card represents the loss of all hope, a pessimistic attitude, or succumbing to depression. It can also depict an overly rational point of view or one without any ideals. A minimalist or someone without motivation.
