So my most hated part of school is putting in the patients I see under the patient log. Why can't I just check off if I saw a kid with asthma and not repeatidly enter his info over and over? WASTEOFTIME.

Fine. On saturday there was this lateeeee night after party (ie starts at 3am...) with the bestest DJ ever (seriously), and I went and I LOVEDIT. They have them from time to time and its this secret-y thing, with a small turnout (so everyone is WAY genuinely nice) and the drinks are cheap ($2.50 for a STRONG rum and coke) and its one of those things where my friends will make sacrifices to go to. It's also always one of those nights where I don't do regretful things because I am so genuinely satisfied with everything, and you just kind of wake up the next day with a smile. Also, I made friends (gay guy and a girl! we talked about boys and smoked cigarettes....oops. I hope I see them around).

So, didn't really fullfill my goal of not drinking this weekend, but, thats an okay exception.

For my lack of a valentine on vday, I made delicious stir-fry for my friends. Soba noodles, onions, frozen thai vegetable mix, chili sauce until the veggies turned red (mmmm), oil, and soy sauce. I also realized that a) I really genuinely love being single and b) I am adding "doesnt like spicy foods" onto my "things that will be a dealbreaker" list. Which probably has too much on it and may need some editing at some point. Maybe.

We had a snow day yesterday and a delayed opening today!

It's pretty great because I am 100% used to snow like that after four years of rochester and really didn't feel all that "unsafe" about coming in despite driving an OLD OLD vehicle with not the greatest traction/brakes, but hey, if everyone else is freaking out, then sure I'll go to the beer garden & neighborhood bar in anticipation, sleep in, read a bit about Russia (more to come....), watch In Treatment, go to the gym (ran 2 miles), go for an hour-long walk with my roommate (and chatted up our art teacher for a bit... lovehim), and watch Fish Tank.

I should have done a bit more work, but, well.... yeah.

The art class got cancelled, but last weeks painting is in my hands and I love it. I may take a picture of it to upload, but I kind of feel like a tool doing that.

In Treatment is getting a bit too much of the same, so I'm going to take a break from it for a week or so and watch Sex, Lies and Videotape this weekend.

Fishtank was pretty good, but I fell asleep during the last twenty minutes (fairly common theme for me) so I don't want to comment too much. I loved what I saw though, but not in a "BEST MOVIE EVER" type of way that I saw in some reviews I read. It's essentially a british 15-year old girl with a deucheeeeeeeeey mom (to put it lightly), and then her mom starts dating this wickedgoodlooking british guy. Then the guy goes after the daughter and then much drama unfolds. What I loved about it though, is that while they played the "lonely angsty teenager who doesn't think anyone cares", it was never overdone. All in all, I enjoyed it. But then again, I tend to find the good in any movie I see.

I realized that I have never said a movie was bad on this site, nor can I remember the last time that I HATED a movie that I picked to see (transformers and batman was a different story). So I guess I'm pretty selective about things and perhaps I do miss some good movies because I don't think I would like them. Hmm.

Oh well, 1.5 more days and then the weekend. Possibly a three day one! The hospital that I am at celebrates Presidents Day like a normal place of employment. But, my school doesn't, and I am technically held under my school's policies, and I will be in the ER anyways so there isn't the "but no one will come in" card. Hmm.

Oh boy.

The kids got me sick.

There is this one baby who I loveeeeedddd and it was totally an epiphany moment. It won't be until many years from now, but there is actually a chance that I will have a kid and that never felt that real until the little baby I was holding was just so perfect. I was staring and staring at himand then he fell asleep and then I was still staring in awe of how amazing every little thing about him was. How, even though I've known this little fella for a week, I would do so much to have his health improve and want the very very best for him. I can't even imagine what it's like when its your own child.

Anyways. This weekend was me being sick, so at least that kind of slowed me down a tiny bit. Though I can't sit at home for more than 7 hours without exhibiting hardcore cabin fever...

I saw Off and Running, which was a documentary about an African-American girl who was adopted by two Jewish lesbians. There are also two other adopted siblings and it was very interesting and well done.

I also saw Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (LOVE IT) and (500) Days of Summer (pretty good).

I am still watching In Treatment, I am about to finish disk 5 of 9 of the first season. It's such a tradition to watch five episodes every weekend and it's something I look forward to during the week. I guess I'll have to find another show to replace the void that will happen in a few weeks.
