I just want a little passion to hold me in the dark

I know I've got some magic buried deep in my heart...

What the fuck is wrong with me? Seriously. I'd like to know. One minute I'm fine. I think to myself, 'self, you are over half way done with the semester from hell. you will make it. just hang on a little while longer' and the next minute I'm ready to throw in the towel and be a slug like normal people. baaaaaaaaaaah.
My brain is gone too. I was giving a soft tissue mob. (aka massage. stupid insurance companies make us use big words so they'll pay for physical therapy. blame the incomprehendable medical lingo on them. well, the insurance companies and latin scholars) to a patient's shoulder/upper trap.....on the WRONG side! She didn't even say anything because we were so into the discussion of bad bras that dig into women's shoulders causing nerve impingement (most likely her problem as evident by the huge dents in both shoulders) to notice that I was working on the right and not the left. Well, honestly, if you were getting a massage, would you complain? I think not. My clinical instructor laughed and said it happens to the best of us. At least she didn't yell at me. I was upset enough for the both of us. Well, despite my moment of stupidity, I have my first wound care patient AND my very own patient starting tomorrow. I get to do everything- progression, new ex demonstration, etc. I'm really exited and nervous. I hope I don't screw anything up. At least he has back pain. there's no wrong side.....unless I massage his stomach or something. and that isn't going to happen.
I'm not sleeping very well lately either. maybe that's why I'm pissy. Sunday night I didn't get home till 1:30 from seeing some friends from faire in Chicago, followed by early morning class. not a good idea. Worth it, but hard. I resorted to consuming a cup of coffee for the first time in my life. not too bad. vanilla flavored creamer helps. :)
again with the no brain: I missed the first day of my saturday class last weekend. I was out late with Nate watching Parkside's play friday night and slept in till 10. I didn't even realize I had the stupid class until yesteray. whoops. There's only 7 class days, so it was really bad that I missed. come back brain! I need you! My planner "brain" just isn't enough. I need the real thing!

Congrats to Hezzie on scoring the job at Barnes and Noble. yaaaay discount without having to actually work there!
And Megan is in the lead for the open Rehab Aide position at Aurora. My boss has 4 other candidates to interview, so we'll know next week. I hope she gets the job. She needs a job and deserves somewhere nice (non retail and nice coworkers) and we peoples at the front desk desperately need help. Why not have both be happy?

****I hope miss liz is feeling better. I'm not having much luck catching you online this week. take care and feel better soon*****

Love to everyone. I'll be seeing most of you this weekend in Madison. See you then!
