my sickness

Well, since I've started blogging and psoting again, I figured you should hear about my lovely week!! don't worry It's very entertaining!! let's start with this last friday, Andrew asn I watched Jurassic Park 3, and I have to say, not my favorite. I think I like Jurassic Park 2 "The Lost World" more then the other two. But overall not a bad movie...raptors...a little scary, but not as scary as creepy girl crawling out of a well (for those of you who don't know, that is a reference to the ring, the one movie that I probably could STILL have nightmares about if I let it). Anyway...I worked saturday morning, only to find out that the nursing home has been contaminated, with what you might be asking...with NORWALK!! Well, It's not on the floor, I'm working on, so I should be fine. So what do I do that night, but work a night shift!! And of course, on one of my rounds, what do I do...clean up vomit.

This is fine...everything is fine...I sleep sunday, get together with people in my group to work on my project, present my project on monday. Realize that I have an assignment due monday that I have forgotten at home...ON MY BED!!! And it is due at 5 o'clock!! Guess waht time I realize this...at 4:30 pm!! So I come home (at peak traffic times) and drive back to pass in this assignment. I finally come home and crash on the couch, and not 2 seconds after do I hear my mother asking me to take Mike down to the dollarstore...I was going to say no, cause well I was just so exhausted, but she bribed me with Ice cream...I couldn't refuse!! By this time though, I'm not feeling really good, something just feels off. But I think nothing of it...hahaha, oh it makes me laugh.

It's maybe 7pm monday night, I crawl into bed fully clothed really not feeling well now. By this time I haven't eaten since 10 am that morning, and all of a sudden, I see again what I ate at 10am that morning. The bathroom became my best friend that night. I never realized how pretty a toilet bowl looks, how nice and white and shiny it is. Well I concluded that I had Norwalk. And since I had Norwalk, I am not allowed working at the hospital till I'm 48 hours symptom free. And well 48 hours will be on Thursday night!! Let me just say though...this was the most sick I have been in 4 years. Anybody remember Czech repuclic...mmm...I sure do!!!

Czech Republic...came home...couldn't eat or keep anything down for a week. Woke up in the middle of the night in a sweat crying for my mom cause I started dry heaving, I was completely dehydrated. So MOM (I love this woman, but at this moment I didn't) made me drink water. And of course I would throw that up...so she would make me drink MORE!!! I hated my mother that night!! But I survived...just like i survived this 48 hours norwalk virus, it comes and goes, but when it comes, it throws you a doosey!! Hope none of you get the aweful experience of it...and if you have all ready experienced norwalk...I truly feel for you.

Just a few things!

So I was just bored, not really doing anything...I was sick this week remember. therefor I am on isolation for 48 hours, or in other words I'm not allowed to work at the hospital till I'm 48 hours symptom free. And Well I decided to put together this blog!!

so here are a few quotes...just for fun!!

Well that's it...can you tell what kind of a mood I was in...lol...Good Night!!!

so much has happened...

Actually not that much has happened, I'm just doing school seeing people here and there. It all depends on my lovely schedule. I had a very busy, and enjoyable weekend. My parents were out of town, and oddly enough I didn't take advantage of that. You know, when you lounge around your house and do nothing. I was barely in my house the entire weekend. Watched a few movies and plays over the weekend. The were all enjoyable, except for The Break-up...That was the stupidest movie I have seen in a while!!! Usually I can find a good point in a movie, but that movie just left me feeling miserable. But ther then that it was a fun weekend. It's nice when nothing pressing is due, I now have one more big presentation/project, and after that, just exams!! 22 day people, only 22 days!!! I'm so very excited! You know, christmas is just right around the corner!! I've all ready started my christmas shopping!! yay!!

Anyways, I have some pictures left over from my weekend adventure in PEI!! I just look oh so cute...lol.

Air...I need Air!!

So I've decided to come up for AIR!! I can breathe again, I am no longer buried deep in school work so high over my head that it was cutting off oxygen. I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have also started my countdown till i finish my exams. Which right now is 27 days!!! Very EXCITING!! I now have two jobs, here let me put this in another way for you...I now have 2 JOBS!!! 1 plus 1 makes 2. anyway, I know I'm crazy, and when I'm slowly going into crazy land, you guys can either join me, or pull me out for a short vacation. I know this christmas will be good. It will be a special christmas I think!

ok, well that's life in a nutshell!! Hope I was able to inform you as to whats going on in my life...even though I barely know myself. Just trying to get by...27, just 27 more days...

Happy Birthday

No it's no one's birthday except for this Blog, It's my blogs birthday today! It's two years old. And if you don't believe me check out my first post. It's called Normal Monday

WE should take a trip down memory lane, See if I can find some of my most memorable posts. I'm sure there are some, I do have 2 years worth!!

There have been several posts, some funny, some serious, some that just didn't make sense at all. But through it all I have been faithful, well somewhat faithful. There are a few months where there is just one post. Like the month of October 2005.

I've posted some interesting things like my car accident, my flu shot--twice, and of course there's always my crazy ramblings.

I've also talked about some very serious things, this would include my love life, which didn't exist at one point during this blog. But I wrote a few things about it. Like Secrets, and more recently Restlessness.

I've also posted loads of pictures, of many people too. Like Linny, Kelley, Kyla, Heather, and well others.

there's been post when you guys have been really great friends when I was depressed!!

I've also wrtten many lists:

100 things

Questions

Things I want

What makes me...me


Well that's the recap of some of my most memorable blogs, I'm sure there are a lot more, and there is an archive if you want to look at them all. Good luck, and happy searching.

Love You ALL

Jocelyn

So Much in a Song

well I'm going to take a lesson from Lindsay and Kyla and putting a song in a blog. Actually how it started was I was talking with Lindsay about how she has such insight to a song, usually when I hear a song, I just think: "oh, I like this" But driving home from school today that's not what happened. I actually felt something from this song, I understood what she was singing about and all I wanted to do was sing just along with her.

I've been tellin' my dreams to the scarecrow

'Bout the places that I'd like to see

I said, friend do you think I'll ever get there

Ah, but he just stands there smilin' back at me

So I confessed my sins to the preacher

About the love I've been prayin' to find

Is there a brown eye'd boy in my future, yeah

He says. girl you've got nothin' but time

But how do you wait for heaven

And who has that much time

And how do you keep your feet on the ground

When you know, that you were born, you were born to fly

My daddy, he's grounded like the oak tree

My momma, she is steady as the sun

Oh you know I love my folks

But I keep starin' down the road

Just lookin' for my one chance to run

Yeah, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird

I will blow in the wind like a sea

I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams

And I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free

Oh, how do you wait for heaven

And who has that much time

And how do you keep your feet on the ground

When you know, that you were born

You were born yeahYou were born to fly

So how do you wait for heaven

And who has that much time

And how do you keep your feet on the ground

When you know that you were born

You were born to fly fly fly fly

Yeah, now why it really hit me. Lately I've been finding that I'm yearning to grow up, to pursue my dreams. I might be cause I'm in Pediatrics right now, and I absolutely love it. It makes me realize the purpose in my life, why I chose nursing. so it reiterates my dreams being just aroinf the corner.

And you know the verse about the parents, well that's me, I love my parents, I love them both ever so much. BUT...I want to be on my own, I want to be making my own descisions, deciding when things need to be done, deciding my own descisions without consulting with anyone. I know I have my car, and I have a whole lot of freedom, considering I can come it at 3 am and have my parents not say anything is impressive. IT's just not the same though as living on your own, living your dream. I find I'm just like this girl...my head is in the clouds cause I was born to FLY!!

Josh Groban Kick

so I'm going through a Josh Groban phase right now. I had his CD blaring in my car all day yesterday. And I'm addicted to the song "When you say you love me" I never realized how poetic that song is, and then sung by Josh Groban just makes it all the better. Some other Josh Groban Favorites include "My Confession", "The Prayer" (even though Celine Dion and Andre Boccelli do a better job at it) "When it rained" and of course "you raise me up" "Oceano" is very good as well. Ok, my whole Closer CD is just wonderful. But here are the lyrics that i find so poetic.

"When You Say You Love Me"

Like the sound of silence calling,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream.
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting,
You say those words and my heart stops beating.
I wonder what it means.
What could it be that comes over me?
At times I can't move.
At times I can hardly breathe.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

You're the one I've always thought of.
I don't know how, but I feel sheltered in your love.
You're where I belong.
And when you're with me if I close my eyes,
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time.
Somewhere between the Heavens and Earth ,
And frozen in time, Oh when you say those words.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

[bridge:]
And this journey that we're on.
How far we've come and I celebrate every moment.
And when you say you love me,
That's all you have to say.
I'll always feel this way.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment,I know why I'm alive

When you say you love me.
When you say you love me.
Do you know how I love you?

My BBQ

Well yesterday I had my first Nursing Society event. I had a BBQ, and people actually showed up. I was impressed, and happy. I knew for sure a few would come, but some nursing students from other years came as well. It wasn't just my class. At first it was. But then more started coming, and then more, I 'm not sure how many actually came, but I only have 12 burgers left out of 72, and only a package and a half of hot dogs. I'm glad so many came. We were set up right outside Irving Hall by their parking lot. Two BBQ's going, one table with veggie trays, and some chips and pop. People just helped themselves, but atleast it was an event. Atleast we did something and it was a success. I know there will be more events to come. But what they will be who knows!!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Well, I had quite the busy go here, go there weekend. And I spent most of it with Andrew. That's not a bad thing either since I probably won't see him till his birthday. It was a jammed packed weekend.

First off I went Friday night, Andrew and I finished watching "The Mummy Returns" and I realized I didn't own "The Mummy". I had thought I owned both movies but I was wrong. We then went to a concert Starfield, they were awesome as usual, I have seen they 4 times. This time I actually bought their CD! Which I LOVE! Then I went home, later than I probably should of, but oh well.

I then worked the nest morning, from 7am till 3, yes it's loads of fun. I then went to Thanksgiving diner at Grammies (whichis really my great aunt, but I call her grammie. Saw the family. I saw Haily and Chloe, I haven't seen them in a while. They came right up to me and gave me a huge hug. I'm the oldest grand child, which makes me very cool in their eyes. Andrew came with me. I have no idea if he was scared out of his mind or not, but we got food, and pie for desert, that's not a bad deal.

That night we joined up with Nick, Andy, Bryan and Lindsay and went in town to sebastians and the Alehouse. Where we had some fun, we walked through town, there's a picture of me on a street corner with Andrew, it looks like he's soliciting my services, but sadly I don't offer any services and he was out of luck. Went home at a not to late time (3:30 isn't bad??)

The next day was sunday, that was a full day. Church, then diner at Andrew's grandparents house. I raked leaves, I'm so very proud of myself. I also learned so many little stories about Andrew. Being the oldest Grandchild is fun isn't it?? His family was great. After diner we went back to his house, watched a Jackson special (previously taped), and some other music videos, and finished watching Tango and Cash.

As you can imagine I slept in Monday morning cause I was exhausted. I then got another Turkey diner from my mom. She wanted to make it. and I ate it, I wasn't going to pass that up. So all around a good weeend wouldn't you agree. I didn't get any work done, but I did enjoy myself.

Pictures...Bonfire

This is the night we went to Andrew's Grandparents house and had bonfire down by the water. This was later that night when his family had left.





Nick playing chubby bunny, I think he was able to get 12 in there!!


I found pictures...I haven't posted these ones here...If i posted them on the 10 forever blog, I'm sorry you'll just have to look at them twice.

U can't be serious

Ever gone into a class thinking, this should be a good day, I've done ALL my readings for this class, I feel as if I have a grasp on the topic, This should be a good class. Well I did today, but I certainly didn't come out of there thinking that. So I went out of that class thinking percisely this " U can't be Serious?". The class was exhilerating as always, one of the most dryest subjects, Research. And we are talking about hypotheses, research problems, critical thinking, directional, and undirectional, the prof is stopping to ask each person their opinion, and get them to answer a question, nobody is getting the right answer, and the answers we are giving are not what she wants. I'm getting confused as the minutes go on, because a comment a student will say makes the prof go on a tangent, therefore discussing things that I don't quite get. Then she wanted to knkow about the literature review, and theoretical framework (topics of the chapters I read), and I was thinking she was going to explain how to do a literature review, or atleast give us some pointers, NOPE! I hear at 3:30 (we are all ready 10 minutes over the time to be out of class)and she wants us to have a literature review prepared, with notes in front of us about an article in our textbook, so we can discuss it next class. All I could think was "But I don't know how to do a literature review?" So I will be BSing my way through a literature review for next wed. Sounds like fun eh?

oh it gets better, there comes another "U can't be Serious?" moment, 2 in fact. I go up to the peds floor to get my patient information, and there is a little latter there for me. In the letter it explains about clinics (which I did last week) and our assignments for it. This means I have to have a POSTER ready for friday about one of the stations I visited on last Thursday. I then go to get my patient research done. And as I'm reading about my patients I start realizing, I have 2 very complicated patients. I got to the floor this afternoon at about 3:40, and I didn't leave there till 5:10, I was the last from my classmates to leave. Now I have to do research and put together concept maps for 2 complicated patients, it's going to be such a great day tommorow.

Hopefully there will be no more "U can't be serious?" moments.

Anybody else have a "U can't be serious?" moment today???

So much to tell you

Actually I probably do not have anything to tell you that most of you don't all ready know. My BBQ I had to cancel on Sunday, sadly, since it was POURING RAIN!! Therefore I have loads of food in my freezer, which means I will have to reschedule, for when do I have the next BBQ, I"m not sure. But I have decided to have it inside. Yes I know what you are thinking, a BBQ inside, that doesn't sound very smart, but all the cooking and stuff will be done outside, but we will eat inside. I'll work out the details this week. Hopefully, everything works out fine, again.

I didn't work at all this weekend, which I will officially blame on Andrew. Kidding, it's not his fault at all, it's my own for being involved into to many things. And for trying to keep up with everything. Andrew made the comment the other day, when I said I was going to join another thing. It's not like, I'm not busy enough. It's not like I have homework to do, or that I have a room to clean, or work so I can make money, or a nursing society to run, or a youth commitee to be on, or church to go to, or money to raise to go to PEI, and then Toronto, or find the time to spend with Andrew, or to see my family and friends, or even have some alone time where I'm not doing anything. Oh, precious, precious alone time.

oh, and my money management skills are going down the drain, well not completely I'm just mad cause I missed my VISA payment (bought books) cause I swear I never got the letter to say when it was due, and therefore missed it, which meant they uped my minimum payment, and I had to pay interest. I'm so not happy. But I have been trying to save my money...HA! I bought, a pair of jeans today and a belt, and I spent money this weekend, more money then I should have. And I bought a frame, I needed the frame, but it's more oney I'm spending. AH!! Ok, I'm back into control, that's all I need, is some control.

Ok, Hope everyone is enjoying catching up with my life, I'm thinking I should go scrapbook, i haven't done that in a while. I'm still in the middle of doing a page about Dramafest, where letters have been burned, which, I haven't checked out since Lindsay tried to act all innocent and pretend she didn't know something, and wouldn't look me straight in the eye, therefore she decided to burn my letters even more to ignore me. Don't worry, I eventually got it out of her.

Good Night, I'm going to read some more...it's all we ever do when we are in school...READ!!

ER has returned...

Well, I watched the season premiere of ER tonight, and I loved it. Absolutely loved it. Things were resolved, but some other things happened that I did not expect. I was laughing, I was at the edge of my seat, and I cried, I cried more then once. My life now feels more at peace for having this show come back...lol. If you haven't guessed all ready, I love this show. I have Season 1 and 2 on DVD so far. I am slowly working my way up to get them all. I may have them all back next century considering it goes on forever!!

So, lots has been happening in my life...not really. My life is boring, or should I say my life is busy. Each night I'm doing something, and if I'm not doing something, I am studying or reading, or chatting online. I really need to get my priorities straight. School, school comes first...Ha!!


Well this is what I shall call my nonsense blog, because you are probably reading this and thinking..."is she on drugs? Why are all her thoughts scattered?" I am a little scatterbrained, cause well I'm tired, and I still have so much to do!! AH!!!

If I could scream I so would, I wonder if I could put an audio on her of me screaming, it would be such a pleasure, and whenever any of you feel stressed you would just have to press a link, and then you would realize someone is more stressed then you.

This Sunday is the Nursing Society BBQ, I am very nervous for this great and exciting event. It's my first event, and you know what...maybe no one will show up. Maybe I'll be the only one there, and what will I do then. My first event would officially suck if I was the only one there. And every time I ask people if they are coming Sunday, they look at me as if I have 3 heads...and say, what's happening sunday. They say this after I have told them 4 times about the BBQ. It's a little frustrating...

EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE!!! ok, I just need to keep telling myself that...

good night everyone, I hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Somethings Wrong

Ever have this feeling that something is wrong, somethings not quite right. That's how I feel, I feel like somethings been bothering me. Lindsay noticed today, she says I've been cranky these past few days, I haven't been excited about anything, nothing is interesting me. And the truth is, I think she's right. I want to cry at the stupidest most random times, and sometimes for no reason at all. I know somethings bothering me, maybe it's that I've been so busy with Nursing Society stuff and going from one thing to the next. I've been late for classes two days in a row, and both were not my fault. Since Saturday I've been go-go, and it's been things I've wanted to do, and things I've enjoyed, plus all the work I have to do, and all the work I've volunteered for. It's insane, and it seems like I can't do anything right this week. Nothing!! And yet I have so much to do. I lost my patience twice today. It's rare for me to loose my patience even once during a week. That's a big indicator that somethings wrong. Maybe I'm depressed...Lin says I have no enthusiasm. Maybe I am...

First Day

Well tommorow is my first day of school/classes, which technically for me isn't really a class, it is a full day long orientation to the course, plus introductions to the instructors, a test to assess my med math skills, and an evaluation on my skills so far. Sounds terribly exciting doesn't it?? As you can probably well imagine, I'm terrified, yet excited, yet unsure, it's a really great feeling. I'm so scared cause this is 3rd year, this is supposed to be the year that really shows you how to be a nurse. People's lives are going to be placed in my hands, and well that's terrifying. What if I mess up, I'm not perfect. I thought I could handle everything that I have on my plate, what with Nursing Society, Youth Commitee, helping at home, Work, and then school (plus clinical). It's a lot to handle and I'm thinking I'm just realizing all this. I know I would say stuff and joke before, that I will be very busy, but reality is starting to sink in.

I had to review my med math stuff, and some of it came back really easily, but other stuff, well let's just say I'm still confused about it. I thought I knew it, but I guess I didn't as much as I thought. I'm trying to get excited, and trying to think of all the "challenging things I will get to experience" but I'm really scared. I"m scared of becoming an introvert and not having a social life, or even being mean to the ones that need my attention because how do you maintain a relationship (any relationship even with a best friend) unless you make an effort to be interested in each others lives. What if I don't do my part and make that effort, I'd be the one losing out, and I really don't want that to happen. It happened first year, and it killed me a little...I can't let it happen again. :D I love you guys. I'm really scared as I can imagine you all are too. I'll keep you all in my prayers.

Love
Jocelyn

I want to Scream!!

So today is of course the orientation day, where I do my presentation, which technically I don't really have anything prepared. I'm just going to speak, and if anyone has any questions, well I'm winging it. I'm not sure what kind of info they want, and even then I don't have much info because well I haven't had a meeting with anyone of my executives yet. that is for today. Let's just say I have a mind splitting headache and the concept of eating this morning is making me nauseous. Therefore I don't want to eat, and I want to go back to bed. Wouldn't that be nice?? I think it's a brillant idea. That way I won't have to do a thing today. Plus I still haven't heard from the CPR recert course yet I left a message with them on Thursday. I'll have to call them again today. Man my head really hurts, I hope the advil kicks in soon. Anyway, I have to go finish getting ready so I can therefore torture myself. Have a nice day, I know I will.

A little TRUTH for Ya

Things Happen

Guess what...I may get to bed before midnight tonight, I say may, I never know what will actually happen. I could get distracted, for instance the Sears catalogue is looking very good right now, I love to look through it and create my own wish list. Yay, how much fun is that.

Anyway tonight I went and played ROOK, one of my favorite games, I'm such a games person. My whole family is actually, it seems like the thing to do on a sunday night when the family is stuck in, or even when you have people over...you play a game. It's sometimes much more entertaining then watching a movie. But then a movie is good to watch when your cold, and tired, and just want to snuggle with a blanket.

It seems that my thoughts are all over the page, I apologize to anyone who actually decide to read this. I'm not even sure what I'm blogging about. ooo, I know I'll show you all some pictures, or atleast tell an interesting story from last night. We all went out, I walked in the dark, through mud and water. And I did NOT fall!! That's quite the feat considering it's me. Nick and Andrew both took care of me, It was either one or the other watching me, making sure I didn't fall. Then once we reached some sort of body of water, they decided to throw rocks, yeah they are 3 and have to throw rocks. It was rather amusing to watch, but it was fun. Of course I do have a picture of it. We then went and got food from Tim Horton's, which I thought I wanted something HOT, but then got something COLD, and froze my little ass off. (oops did I say that). Yes, and then I got to see my dream baby, and if you're wondering I'm refering to a car.

Now I know, I know nothing about cars, when I hear mustang, convertible, ferrai, and the bunch, nothing comes to my mind. But when I hear the word Corvette, I know what you are talking about. I have always loved corvettes, and no I'm not making this up. I wish I could show you the picture of my uncles corvette...oh it is a beauty. He used to take me driving in it, I loved it!! You have no idea the emotional turmoil going through me last night when I saw that red corvette, oh my heart just soared. I wanted to run my hand over it's body, but then I was very afraid I would scratch it. I was mesmerised.

So if I ever get a dream car, you now all know what that would be. What year or make, *shrug* I have no idea, but I don't think I would ever get my dream baby, so why start hoping now. Plus if I ever had the money for one, there are a few things on my list before my dream car...like for instance: My dream house, or My dream vacation.

IT'S ALIVE!!!

I tell you this, no word of a lie, my camera is ALIVE!! I am so excited, you have no idea how relieved I am. When I put that battery in today, and heard the little sounds and saw that lovely fuji fine pix symbol I could have cried. This means that I will not have to replace my camera, my phone as well has been revived, how I'm not to sure, cause I thought for sure it was fried, it was even making funny sounds. But it has survived. Anyway, Camera is alive and working just as well as it did before!! Here I'll even take a picture for all of you to see!!~

My Rook Fix

I finally got my Rook fix in last night. Lindsay, Kelley, Ryan and I played Rook. My favorite game, it's lots of fun. some people may not agree, but it is. You have to play if you've never played before. The game has become like an addiction, well maybe not I have gone most of the summer with out playing 8 weeks to be exact. Lindsay and I were winning last night, we played well, or the other team just played really badly :) Anyway it was nice just to get out relax, play cards and talk. That's the best thing about playing cards, is the conversations that arise while playing. YOu tend to learn something about a person when they paly cards, even if it's just their ability to bluff. Or how competitive a person can be, or how calm someone else is. You just learn interesting things while playing cards. I love it!!

Anyway, as you can probably tell, I've been able to update my blog straight for 4 days. I haven't had to work in 4 days, and it's getting rather annoying, especially since I want to work, I want money, plus it keeps me preoccupied. Means I do't have to think about school or the 101 things I probably have to do before it starts. Yay!! It'll be fine, I just got to keep reminding myself that, or else I may get a little overwhelmed. I could have a mental breakdown, even before school starts. WAY TO GO!!! I want to be excited, and I'm trying to convince myself to be excited, but it's just not working. I'm sorry I'm not excited, I'm a nervous wreck!! I think I might have taken on one to many responsibilities this year. Well it's me, of course I took on 1 to many responsibilities. Ok, I'm done now, you now know the truth, I'm nervous about school, not excited, NERVOUS!!
