Well, my birthday is coming up, on May 29th. I’m actually excited, probably more for the partying part than the actual turning of 24. Although, I don’t know how I’m going to top my last birthday. Last birthday I got my first tattoo that took 2 and a half hours. It’s quite large.
I was thinking about getting another tattoo, until I realised that I have no money. In fact, I have so much minus-money that I’m making other people in debt. I very much dislike that word, in-debt. It’s so negative. You can say debt-free, but either way, you’re still using a bad, negative word.
I like “non-rich.” Makes me feel better about my non-rich situation! ^__^ I’m so non-rich that I don’t know if I can afford gas to go to school. Speaking of school, I’m doing pretty well. Maybe not “pretty well,” but I do kinda feel like celebrating.
They said that Pharmacology was the worst part of learning to be a HUC {Health Unit Coordinater}, but oddly enough I got the highest mark in the class. It was all about memorization and the only reason I got 93% on the first “evaluation”/test was because I had spelling errors. Second test I had no spelling errors, just normal….not-knowing the answer errors! LOL I still got 94% though.
What I find embarressing is how our teacher is very much: “This is not a competition, blah blah, blah,” then who ever gets the highest mark is award with the teacher acknowledging it and clapping and everyone being happy and stuff, but still really jealous. Maybe….
I dunno, that’s how I feel, if I got maybe the second highest mark, or lower, like third or forth, I would still feel like I screwed up and didn’t get highest. I think it’s because the teacher and certain girls in my class try to making a competition. Like you’d get hired above everyone else if you know more, or some BS.
Which is not true, btw, because this “motivational speaker” guy who works for our school, his name is Scott, he came in and was all: “You’re not going to get hired based on your marks, as long as you passed, they know you know what you’re doing. They hire you based on your professionalism and your attitude.” And I know that’s true. When you get hired at Staples or somewhere, do you think they actually look into your work references? No. They don’t look into your school, and if they did, they would call and ask how you worked in a group situation, not what you got on a Pharmacology test..
When I talked to my friend, Mel, who took this course, with different teachers obviously, she never mentioned anything about a “hard part” of it. She said it was all hard, but if you are dedicated you will learn it and know it. I guess I went into the class jaded, or more innocent, honestly, to the fact that if I work hard I can do it. And it’s true. I didn’t feel affraid or stressed about a portion of what I was learning. At the time, maybe, but I didn’t feel stressed about what was coming next.
Such as: “OMG! Anatomy is gonna be soooo hard!!” It was more like: “Holy crap, Anatomy is hard, but really interesting!” XD And when I said to a few of my classmates about how I wanted to, maybe in five or so years, to go back to schooling to be a Psych. Nurse, if I really enjoyed it. They were all: “Why go to school for another 4 years just to get a few extra bucks!” And I was very dissapointed in their bad attitude. If you find out you love something, you should put all you have in it to make it come true! And to stick with it!
Well, anyway, I haven’t been doing much knitting or crafting. I had a package lost in the mail, so I had to make a few new things this weekend….okay, I guess that counts as crafting! LOL I guess I just feel less me without crafting something every day! ^____^
