Finals.

So here I am... on a sunday morning... tired because of last night... SUNDAY @__@ (reference to my older post!)

Ugh, these past few days, my back is so sore. Really! I still remember when I did my writing exam and when I finished, I just couldn't stand straight anymore. I actually had to raise my hand to tell the teacher! She felt so sorry, which is not what I wanted... Anyways, when I move, I'm totally fine, but when it comes to sit for considerable hours, I'm done! I should really consider seeing a doctor... Nevertheless, before I started to work, I passed a scan for my back and they couldn't find anything wrong. I really feel bad now that I know that my back is unhealthy... Because in nursing, they keep on saying how our back is important, and that we just have one back that supports us, and just becareful. Well what makes me more upset is the image people can have of me now... You see, I had a little accident years ago, I use to help my dad lift stuff for his work... and I did a bad move. I remember how painfull it was. However, now, I feel like it is ten times worst. I think it followed me until now.

Yesterday night, we had dinner for my brother-in-law's birthday. It was really fun. Well... minus my back pain. Then, everybody came back home and had cake and they played the werewolf game, I could hear it from my room. I believe they had a lot of fun :)

Today, I have to prepare myself for my english oral presentation on Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Actually, the assignment was to find a serious research that is recently done related to my field of study. Believe me, I had a hard time finding one. Then, my friend got me this magazine called MacLean's and she pointed out this article about this controversial new Multiple sclerosis treatment. It's incredible how much I have learned. Not only through some article but also through personnal research, found out what is my role as a nurse toward MS patients. Grosso modo, Zamboni's study found out that his MS patient showed CCSVI (chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency) and such blockage «could cause blood to flow back to the brain, resulting in toxic iron deposits that in turn could trigger MS symptoms» The treatment is pretty simple, put a balloon inside the vein so that it can unclogg it. Here the controversy, this is a risky intervention because some patient have died of it or had complications. Besides, doctors asks. Is CCSVI unique to MS? If it is, is it a cause or a consequence of MS? They say that they are not actually treating MS but veinous problem and that people who had the surgery done and showed positive results is a placebo effect. As you may not know, there is no cure to this disease and researching haven't found the cause to it. If this treatment showed positive results and can actually significantly improve MS patient's lives, why not?

With that being said... this is my oral presentation topic. I also have a math exam on monday wish scares the crap out of me. Another oral presentation on thursday and FINALS. TUN TUN TUN!!!!

... Have a nice day! :)

Psychiatry

...

School wise, it's been a week already since I started my internship in psychiatry and at first, I seriously thought it would be really bad, but it turned out really interesting! So far so good. However, there is a lot of homework related to it. Not to mention my other courses. And on top of that, I work on weekend. I'm a busy one... :( I feel drained... exhausted. I have a minimal social time... It's hard but I have to get through this! I HAVE TO! Positive thinking! COME ONNNN!

I can't wait for my march ''break'' not a whole week unfortunately... only monday and tuesday... Then... wednesday and thursday, my intership (which should be very illegal on the way) and day off on friday, Hurray.

Hopefully, I have few good friends I can relax with. We're planning to go play bowling or pool on that day. Thank god.

I'm still waiting a reply from the hospital for my externat this summer... It really worries me because all my friend got their letters except me. I called a week ago and they said they just sent it on february 18th and I like so close from the hospitall!! Come on.... I applied for Medecine, pediatry and surgery. I should start working on june 7th! Can't waiit! :D

I also have this job at my brother's clinic. My brother is a denturologist and he needed someone to type in all the patient's information into the computer. He gave me the keys so I can come whenever I want. Which I'm very pleased with it since I'm not avaible on weekdays and I don't really have any obligation. Very flexible and that's perfect. Besides, even though the clinic is far from my house, I don't really mind. I'm kind of tired to work close to my place. Why everything has to be close from me?! Get out of the comfort zone girl!

So for tomorrow... I have crisis situation class, english composition and microbiology lab. I have mondays... Because I always finish at 6 pm. Tuesday wednesday and thursday, I have my internship and friday I have Microbiology and sociology. Talking about sociology, last class... I usually don't skipp Sociology class but that day, I just couldn't handle it anymore. Honestly! I love my teacher's class but I was just wayyy to tired. I followed at the beggining of the class and took good notes and I left right after the 10 minutes break. And instead, I went to work hehe!

I really need a nice, beautiful and long break... Geebus!

New dorwingz and nu...cashews :)

I just needed to take a break from my school assignments, get here and type whatevers ... on my mind, because it really, definitely needs to get out of this grey, gewy, unsensitive and sticky substance called brain. Well. I call it Janice but that's a whole other story.

I finally did my exams-of-the-death. As expected, the day was very tiring, I was litterally drained to the bones and for the first time, I had three coffees in a single day. Holy wowey.

I am now working on my internship assignments.

Hmm. Here's the video of the week :) Makes me feel so happy! :) It also makes me think of so many things as well.





The Piggy of my dream :O !! I find this one good although not as original... since I saw a potato chips commercial and they had a flying pig as their logo! Anyways. Still cool since I made it ;) Besides, who wouldn't resist a jubilant pig?



Ooh my! The wind! I love making leaves and swirls! I made this one night while doing my homework and I actually drew it on a portfolio. Lack of material ressources (A) ... And now that I am watching this again, makes me think of this carefreeness feeling I wish I had at times... *sigh* Move on hun! Haiii!! :D

Updates on my (not so personnal) life.

So this is my first entry of the beginning of school year. I haven't had much time to write before that... and even NOW I'm not even suppose to be here typing what I am typing now. But hey. it's cool.

So what happened during the last few months *flashback* ( '_____' insert sound effect).

During summer, I had my VERY FIRST JOB! YAY. It was great. Plus, I made my own money! I had to chance to work with great professionals and patients. I had to work during the day, the evening and the night. Even though daytime is quite a rush, for some reason, I really appreciated it.

Back to school has been quite a rumble. It doesn't even surprise me anymore. Also, making my own money means... eh, paying my own scholar fees. Yep. But it's alright. As usually, Nursing scholar fees cost me an arm.

I'm in pediatry/perinatality. The course is sooo charged. They don't give us enough time to assimilate the theory! The most ridiculous exam we had was based on two subjects. The time allowed was thirty minutes! ... *breathe in* ... *breathe out* Anyways. Other than that, biology is harder than last semester, wayyy harder and I almost did not pass. ''Thank god I passed my biology exam!''

And it is far from being over people. Next week, I'll be having two huge exams and each one contains two never-ending subjects! Shoot me. And to finish me clean-cut, I have a math exam on medications and injections, hurray.

In two weeks, PRIMO : for my first intern, I'll have to teach security mesures to 4 year-old kids in a kinder-garden. I am really looking forward to it :) But I think one of them is hyperactive and his teacher calls him a time-bomb. Lol. How nice. Anyways! We'll have to deal with it.

SECUNDO: Pediatrical Intern at Maisonneuve hospital! So many things to prepare! It is kind of making me nervous! But as long as I'm well prepared, there is no need to stress. Right? *cricket noises*

Oh, and what to say about sociology and gym. Their at the bottom of my list. Ha. But at least, I know I'm doing alright! Hum... I still have to do 8 hours off-class in gym and humm other few hours of lab practice before intern.

Anyways, even though I feel kind of overwhelmed by exams and studies, this doesn't stop me of cooling down with my close friends and have a great time with my family occasionnaly.

I personnaly think studies are not an excuse but you just need to find a great balance between friends, family, yourself and school.

Hommage aux dimanches de la vie.

C'est dimanche, dimanche, dimanche.
Le jour avant lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi et samedi... ou tout simplement le jour d'après, dépendamment du point de vue de chacun.
Le seul jour qui ne fini par par 'di' mais qui tout de même le commence.
Le jour qu'on se réveille tard en matinée puisque samedi fut le jour de la fêtée.
Le jour ou il ne se passe habituellement rien de spécial.
Le jour avant la semaine des cours.
Le jour ou on se fixe des objectifs afin de les accomplir avant ces cinq journées tarrées.
Le jour ou on jure de dormir plus tot.
Le jour lorsqu'on étudie à la dernière minute avant l'examen du lendemain.
Merci aux dimanches de la vie.
Nous laisser nager en apnée en ta seule journée.
Malgré cela, il est déja minuit et je ne suis toujours pas au lit!

Anyways, class are starting at 12:00, take that Sunday! *pew pew*
