06:48 pm: Man.....shin splits are AWFUL! Awful I tell you! I am so stubborn. I knew yesterday I shouldn't have run because they were sore, but I did anyway. Today, I kept telling myself "OK, after work, NO YMCA. You're legs need a break. They still hurt." What did I do? Drove myself straight to the Y and ran. I can hardly walk now. I look somewhat like a penguin, really. It's pathetic. I will absolutely NOT go workout tomorrow.

There was something else I was gonna say, but I cant remember what it was. It wasn't important, I know that much. It was some random, silly comment that had nothing to do with anything. Hmm.

No clue.

Oh yeah! I DO remember now. Yeah, so I decided I need to buy one of those travel sized Febreze bottles. I have home health patient that I see after work. This one lady smokes the whole time I am there (Gag, cough, ew) and when I leave, I smell absolutely disgusting. I think maybe if I'm able to Febreze my whole entire body from my hair down to my toes (it DOES stick to my hair and shoes, ya know)...then maybe I won't smell so horrible until I get a chance to shower.

11:20 pm: Friends ONLY

Due to recents events..... my journal is now FRIENDS ONLY.

You know the drill - comment to be added!! :o)

06:23 pm: I HATE SALLIE MAE!!
Stupid loan companies. I HATE THEM! I got a bill for my loans a few days ago. I should not be repaying them until February! AND it's not like its a 10 dollar payment that I can afford, oh no...it's 250 bucks a month. Now I have to find time to get the deferment form, take off of work so I can go up to school and stand in a damn line for 2 hours or so, so that the school can sign it and say I have been a full timer for the past 2 semesters. Ugh. I can't ask off at a new job for that. Stupid loans! Someone wanna pay 'em off for me? :) I would love you forever and ever.

I preferred my Stewie icon, but a couple of ya didn't know what I look like, and since my last post, I figured I better use this stupid picture for a few days. :)

07:38 pm: It's a sad thing when life is too busy and hectic that you can't even update a lil ol' journal anymore.

Ok ya'll...you've seen my picture before (used to be my user icon). I look like a girl...right? RIGHT?!

There was this crazy patient that was at work today. She is bipolar, and I think a little bit insane on top of that. Anyway, she was sittin there in therapy and started going nuts - crying and saying weird things, not making any sense. Then she looks at me and says "I'm SO glad you're a woman!......you ARE a woman, right?" I just nodded, turned, and went into my office because I was trying so hard not to laugh. Once in the door, I laughed SOO hard and couldn't go back and see her for a quite a while. My boss followed me in and we were both cracking up. Was pretty funny.

I have a lot to do, so thats all for now.

07:15 pm: Cats, Patients, & D-Day
Well my cat attempted to kill me while I was in the bathtub. Again.
He was in the corner of the room, by the bathtub, playing with....who knows what he was playing with. Something on the floor, and there is no telling. Anyway, all the sudden, he just POUNCED on me! Clawed up my shoulder. I dunno if he thought he was being CUTE or MEAN or what, but I wasn't friggin laughin. Hurt a bunch.

A patient today told me I was just a "young spring chicken" and "so cute". I guess thats good. Is being a fuzzy yellow ball good? Hmm.

Aww...and this other patient that I have ...he is just adorable! I was helping him walk, and when he went to sit down, he was reaching back for his wheelchair and ended up grabbing my thigh instead. He was soooo embarassed, and it really wasn't a big deal at all. He said "Oh my gosh!! I am soooo sorry, I meant to grab the chair" and started rambling on. I kept telling him not to worry about it, but he was just horrified. How sweet is that? I love my patients.

I'm off to find some dinner. It's 7:15 and I'm hungry. Maybe I'll find some chicken feed to nibble on. Well, thats my attempt at a somewhat humorous post. :) OOHH, wish me luck!! D-Day is August 29th. The day. The day I take my National board exam for physical therapy. The day that decides if I get my license or not. Eeep. I'm scaring myself. Enough of that.

11:19 pm: Ok, so I decided I should write a lighthearted and funny post, seeing as the past few I've made have been pretty dull - just about work and such things.


Hmm.


I can't seem to come up with anything to say that is either lighthearted, or even an attempt at being funny. Sorry guys. I will try harder next time. :)

12:38 pm: CPR Certified
I had to get renewed for my CPR - it expires at the end of the month, and luckily for me, at my job, not only do I NOT have to pay for it, I get paid to go! Woohoo. So all morning I've been sucking face with a dummy. Haha. Anyway, the test is super easy, passed with a 100%. So if any of ya'll ever need mouth to mouth, I'm your girl.

I'm slightly annoyed, but only slightly, that the class was today. Today was the last day for one of the PT students so all the therapists took her lunch today, but my class ran 1/2 way through lunch. That sucked. I had to eat soup, which was no good at all.

I was talking with someone, and I dunno how but the subject of sex came up. Apparently, I'm severely naive. Did you know when someone refers to "Water Sports" they do not mean swimming or water polo? I had no idea what it actually meant. This guy asked if I liked water sports, and I said yes...everyone laughed. Hmph. So yeah. For the record, if I ever refer to liking water sports in any future posts, I mean ACTUAL water sports. :o)

Allright. I guess I better finish this no-good soup. Tomorrow is Friday, which means we can wear jeans. However, last week I wore them and realized, "Why the heck is everyone happy to wear jeans Friday? We get to wear windbreaker pants all week...Friday is practically dress-up day for us!" It's not nearly so comfortable to do therapy in jeans. Ah well.

03:29 pm: One Is The Lonliest Number...
...but not really. I kinda like being alone right now.

I'm the only therapist left in the building. All the PTs left early, and they get paid by salary, not hour, so its all good. The other PTA that works here is off today. That leaves just me, and I'm not leaving til 4:00 because I get paid by the hour. And I'm not gonna complain about just sitting here when I will get paid 7.50 to sit here for 30 minutes. Easy money, huh? :)

I don't have much that I feel like updating about. A LOT has been happening lately, but it's a bit too personal to post in a public journal, plus I wouldn't feel like typing it all out anyway. Let's just say I'm having conflicting emotions about some things and leave it at that.

I saw my favorite patient from when I was here as a student! He's an older guy that had an amputation, and I just love him to death. It was like seeing my grandpa after not having seen him for a long time. He was coming in to get serial casting so that he can eventually get his new leg! I was so happy for him. He's had it rough, so I'm soooo glad he's finally gettin' close to getting a leg. Speaking of, prosthetists are amazing. If I hadn't done PT, I woulda done that instead. They can do so many cool things.

Well...I got nothin else to say, or do. But at least I'm getting paid for it now. (Finally!)

05:01 am: Freaky Dream...
I dreamed I was at my friend Kathryn's house, but it was her new apartment, and she had everyone she knew over. It was a party with lots of alcohol but her parents and my parents were there. I hadn't drank anything yet and was walking around, and realized my left eye felt really weird, so I went to the bathroom to check my contacts, and I had this little bump thing on part of my eye, and it was stuck to my eye and wouldn't come off. Then I realized I was starting to go blind, and that the color part of my eye (iris, right?) was getting smaller and smaller. It was 1/4 the size of my other eye. I ran and found my mom, and then Kathryn's house turned into a eye doctor office and we were trying to get an appointment, but he wouldn't let us without me having a pass from work saying I could be there. THEN, my sister came along and told me the doctor couldn't help me anyway because it was curse that someone had put on me, she read about it in a book before. Then I woke up. Freaky huh?

Yeah, so I woke up at 4:30 am, and can't get back to sleep now. Too wired. Now that I read over what I wrote, it doesn't sound as scary as it was in the dream. My heart was pounding when I woke up. I hate nightmares.

01:51 pm: Update time
So...yeah, I haven't updated in a while. Miss me?
Been super busy with work and everything. Work has been going good - we only get paid once a month though, doesn't that suck? I have enough patients to keep me busy but not overload me. This week has been pretty easy, I am ready for the weekend though.

The party last Saturday rocked. Lots of random shots were made, played stupid games, it was fun. I had multiple orgasms. (Haha. It's the name of a shot, in case you didn't know....) :o) They're really good, too! This guy I met named Scott, and his friend Jason came - both very sweet. Kaylan's boyfriend was hilarious. He's a funny drunk. :)

Well, I don't have much else to say. I'm sure I'll think of stuff later.

02:56 pm: Well, it's all over....
...and I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. Clinicals and school are officially over with. I will get my transcript in about 10 days, and then after that I can apply for my board exams, which I'll take in August sometime I believe. I guess I should feel elated that its all done. I don't really, though. Kinda sad. I will miss all my instructors who were just amazingly awesome, will miss debating and arguing issues with them. Will miss all my classmates and friends. Worrying together over our awful neurological tests, goofing around together during lab, its all done. I feel sorta empty I guess. Things are just moving so fast too, clinicals/school finally over with, and I don't even get to take a break before I start working for REAL. Not as a fileclerk for an oil company anymore, as a real career where people's lives are in my hands. Thats a lot of responsiblity and pressure to carry - and it's terrifying especially for a new grad. I'm completely stressed about the board exams. Those practice tests are very very hard and I haven't been doing as well as I would have hoped on them. Well, I guess I'll stop talking now, rambling on about nothing.

01:27 pm: Wow, the weather is actually really nice today! It's not horribly hot today. I think if I'm gonna mow this week (Which I need to - my yard is beginning to look a bit like a jungle) then I better do it today when I get off work. Then I gotta do my joggin' thang. So far so good on that, by the way.

Well, just one more day at the clinic - a half day at that. Then I'm done. Monday starts the first day of the rest of my career. I'm underwhelmed. I think I'd rather stay in school. I like hanging out with all my friends. Who wants to work when you can play? :) School was hardly like "school" anyway - too much physical activity and experimenting on each other to be schoolish. Sigh. I will miss that.

Oh gosh, the past few days I cannot stop coughing! Last night it got sooo bad. I coughed STRAIGHT for an hour. So finally at 2:00 in the morning, I went to QT to get some cough syrup. It...didn't really help a lot, but enough that I could sleep somewhat. I brought it with me to work so I won't be coughin all over the patients. I didn't figure they would like that much. :)

03:13 pm: Geez, this is the longest day EVERRRRR. My 2:00 patient cancelled, so now I have NOTHING to do alllll afternoon. He was going to entertain me for an hour, haha. I just finished my book, The Brethren (Grisham) - yeah I think I've read more this past 5 weeks then I have in 5 months. I've finished like 4 books. Only 2 1/2 more days after today! Woohoo! My last day is Thursday because we have a school thing Friday. I lied and told them I had to leave early Thursday, so I should be OUTTA here by 2:00!

Saturday I'm havin a party! Yay. Hope it will be fun. I've had a dang cough for the past 3 days that I CANT get rid of. It's starting to tick me off. When I'm not coughing, I have that little tickly feeling in my throat.

I have an eye doctor appointment after work. I hate that thing where you look at the balloon and they spray air in your eyes. I also hate the glaucoma test because those drops they put in my eyes make 'em numb and I feel like I start blinking all weird. I think I'll splurge on my contacts (Since I'm about to start earning big paychecks soon!) and get those ones that let you're eyes "breathe" better.

So...yeah. I guess I'll go twiddle my thumbs for 2 hours. So exciting.

10:13 am: RUN!

OK, so I'm telling you all this so that if I get lazy and STOP doing it, you can hold me accountable. :) I decided to start a running/jogging program. I decided walking is too wimpy ;o) Anyway, I found this cool site called Cool Running. It has a plan to follow to go from "Couch to 5K". You work out 3 times a week for 9 weeks, and by week nine, you are about to run 3 miles straight. I'm sure most of you can already do that, but I'm not that talented, haha. I am more of the kickboxing/aerobics/yoga kind of girl. BUT now I'm gonna be a jogger kind of girl, too. I am gonna do it on my treadmill though until fall comes around, cuz otherwise I'd suffocate and die right there on the street from heat and humidity exhaustion. There is a beautiful jogging trail in Tulsa that I'll use in fall. Now thats my goal for now.

Hopefully once I accomplish that, I'll start on the training schedule for the 10K, but I'm not really sure about that. I DO want to be in a Tulsa Run or something like that though. I think it'd be fun. For now though, lets just see if I get through nine weeks. Or even 2. =)

Oh, if you guys are interested in it and want to do it too, here's the site:

http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

Oooh, if ya do it too, we can rag on each other when they don't do it. Haha.

12:16 pm: It's a good thing that a journal is typed/written instead of being spoken. Why? Because I'm having oatmeal for lunch (bleh) and I just burnt my tongue really bad on the spoon. If I were to have to talk, I'd be talking lik diz.

So I went to church last night. My grandmother got back from China for a month this summer and she spoke about her missions at the Wednesday night service at my church. Ha, I claim it as my church, but I haven't been in a while. Yeah I know, I'm terrible. Anyway, it was pretty interesting. She teaches, and volunteers at an orphanage. The pictures she showed of the babies were so adorable. She was gone 2 years, and she'll be leaving next month to go back for another year. It's sad for her to be gone for so long, but I really don't see her all that much anyway. What's really cool is to hear her speak Chinese. Ha.

( Boring crap no-one cares about... )

Ok, off to being bored some more. Only 1 more week, then I'll actually be starting my career. Thats weird to say.

10:54 am: ( Quiz )

Hmm...I just can't argue with the truth of the sex skills.... ;o)

10:46 am:

samus_boy told me to...

1.Go into your LJ's archives.
2.Find your 23rd post (or closest to).
3.Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4.Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions

It's good, it fights cancer, I get the one that has 1/2 the calories/carbs/sugar, so it's good for me, & it's portable!

10:18 am: McDonalds
Haha, has anyone seen that movie "Super Size Me"? I haven't, but I've heard all about it. If you don't know, its about some dude that decided to ONLY eat McDonald's for all 3 meals a day, for ...I dunno how long. Months. Anyway, he ate like 5,000 calories a day, and gained a ton of weight.

Well, I was listening to one of my favorite morning shows this morning, and this chick called in and said that she was eating only McDonald's for 3 months straight, BUT she was only eating 1200 to 1400 calories a day. She was disproving the theory that McDonalds makes you fat. She had like a egg mcmuffin and yogurt for breakfast, side salad, apple dippers & hamburger for lunch, and a 1/4 pounder for dinner. She's lost 34 pounds in 3 months on this McDonalds diet. I thought that was pretty interesting.

Mmm..just thinking about all those greasy fries is making me hungry. Haha. Too bad I'm just having a turkey sandwich and an apple for lunch. Sigh.

02:23 pm: Because I have nothing better to do....

Snagged from bri2j :

Ten years ago: I was 12 years old, so I was busy being a geek in middle school, obsessing over the current cutest guy in my grade.

Five years ago: I was a senior in high school, thinking I would never go to college and/or live in Oklahoma ever again.

Yesterday: I worked for free at the clinic all day, taking the majority of the patients while the PT and PTA sat around watching me. Then I went to my mom's house for a bit. Yes, my life is SO exciting! Why didn't it ask about my weekend? I had a semi-interesting weekend....

Today: I am sitting here doing absolutely nothing because we have no patients for 2 more hours. Bleh. This sucks. I can't wait til I get paid, haha.

Tomorrow: Working...

Five snacks I enjoy: Chips, ice cream, Take 5, popcorn, & ummm...I dunno. Pretzels I guess. (Yeah, really healthy...but it asked what I ENJOYED not what I always eat) :)

Five bands/artists that I know the lyrics of MOST of their songs: 3 Doors Down, Shinedown, Brooks & Dunn, Nsync (unfortunately & as embarassing as it is...its true), Puddle of Mudd

Five things I like doing: Watching movies, reading, hanging out with friends, playing with my dogs & sometimes my cat (little punk that he is), annnnd swimming

Five things I wish I could wear: I don't get this question..."....If I had a better body", or "....If I didn't have to wear business casual to work", or what? I wish I could wear a little bitty bikini and still look good in it (lol), umm...wish I could wear flip flops everywhere including work, jeans all the time....and I really don't have 2 other things that I can think of.

Five TV shows I like: Family Guy, One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls, Everwood, Will & Grace (Yes, if you are very very observant, you'll notice all of these are not cable channels...I don't have cable...sigh)
