The Perfect Catch

Nope, haven’t landed my perfect catch yet (still waiting for him to fall out of the sky), but saw the movie yesterday with my friend Liv. We actually weren’t planning on seeing that one, but got it confused with 2 other movies that were playing that had the word “perfect” in it. Nevertheless, it ended up being a cute flick and reminded me of someone I know. We also walked around downtown in the rain (it seems to rain every time we get together) and I of course took Liv to my favourite pancake place. (She’d never been.) Was a real struggle trying to decide and I really wanted to indulge myself in the chocolate “devil’s delight” pancakes but wanted to try something new too. So, I ended up getting the banana pancakes with ice cream and butterscotch. They were yummy. In other news, thankfully, my family and friends managed to avoid the wrath of Rita. So, all is good on the home front. :)

Still Sick

I thought I was improving this week, but I’ve had a relapse, but worse this time. What initially started out as cold is now the flu I think. On a positive note, at least I’ve got Spring break to recover. Spoke to my mom today and it was quite distressing hearing about all the mayhem going on in the Houston area regarding the approaching hurricane Rita. My prayers and thoughts go out to all of my family and friends and those in need.

I survived

I was a little flustered though when I went to take my exam b/c there was mix up in the times. I got there at 8.30AM like I was told, but then no one was there. I was then instructed to go have a cup of tea and come back at 8.55. Came back later and then they had already started. Needless to say, don’t think I did very well. I need a brain transplant—I think there is something seriously wrong with mine…as I can’t seem to compete with those of my peers. My confidence is shot and once again, it will be a struggle to pass the semester. I’m also embarrassed b/c I was telling a friend at the vet clinic last week about all my problems with the videos being shown, group tutorials, prac classes, etc and she spoke to my year coordinator and she in turn spoke to my lecturer. My lecturer is hearing-impaired himself, but I feel that he doesn’t understand the depth of how difficult things are for me. He rarely repeats things and when I give him a blank stare back, it’s not because I wasn’t paying attention, but b/c I didn’t even know he was asking me a question in the first place. Ok, I’m through ranting and raving now. Gonna go have some grub now and maybe a whole box of cookies too.

Sick and Stressed

Sick and Stressed
I’m a nervous wreck about my pathology midterm exam tomorrow. I’ve been so sick and doped up on various meds these past few days. I pray that I can wake up in time for my exam early tomorrow morning! Gonna try to go to bed early…even drank some green tea this evening, which is supposed to help calm me, but weird that it seems to be having an opposite effect (interaction with drugs maybe??). Wish I would have known this sooner. Gotta make sure I bring toilet paper for the exam tomorrow! (I just hope all my nose blowing doesn’t lead to a nosebleed! Otherwise, I’d be in deeper poo…err blood that is.) Ok, gonna get ready for bed now.

Love-Hate Relationship

I always seem to have a love-hate relationship with school (even since elementary school) no matter what I’m doing. Just wish for once, things would come easy to me. Ok, I better quit kvetching. Better get back to studying for mid-terms.

I beg for greenies!

Random Thoughts

Another week has flown by. Nothing new to report except starting to feel the pressure with approaching assignment/project deadlines and mid-semester exams. Took a break though from studying and saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the cinema with a classmate. The movie was great and had me laughing the whole time! The theatre was packed. Definitely not as many signing hands as I’m used to seeing at the captioned theatre back home. I remember in Houston, you’d go to a captioned movie, and everybody would congregate outside the theatre with flying hands everywhere before and after the movie even with complete strangers! Not quite like that here. I miss my best friend, but she’ll be back soon! I just know it. :) Btw, I think I should start my own community of Bilingual Deafies—a place where every fence straddler fits! I’m starting to crave chocolate now…

No time for Wisdom Now

I have been experiencing throbbing pain in my ears and face and head aches in weird places for the past couple of weeks. I was appalled when the specialist prescribed anti-anxiety pills. Then, our family friend suggested that it might be my wisdom teeth coming in and he’s right! Did a check this AM, and who’d a thunk those lil’ suckers would cause so much pain! Ok, back to my deer research now.
