Another day another dollar... wait thats wrong

So one of the things that has been bugging me the most lately (not much mind you) is that fact I am going into debt.. and quite a bit at that :/ . While being in this program I have decided not to work, yes it was a choice I made. Talking to people in class who do work, they tell me it is very hard to balance both, so I choose not to.

Another thing that has been coming in and out of everyday thought is what was I doing at this time last year.

In January of last year I was making preparations and plans to quit my job and move home to Regina. My job at the time wasn't what I was wanting. I wasn't getting along with my supervisor, it kept getting worse and I just couldn't force myself to be in that position anymore. To go to school to take what I'm taking now (Respiratory Therapy), I had to take Chem30. I took the course while working full time, doing night classes. My work was not supportive of me attending class, studying over my lunch and breaks at work was not allowed, so it made it  lot more difficult then it could have been. When clashing with my supervisor I felt like she was continually calling me stupid, it made a massive difference when I was pulling high 80's and 90's in the Chem class. It gave me a mental break to know, that even if she thought I was stupid, I actually wasn't. I started keeping track as of September 2011 and it was averaging that 10 times a month I would get upset to the point of tears, brought on by being frustrated or having rough confrontations with my supervisor. I knew I had to leave and I had decided that I needed sometime to recoup over the summer, especially before going back to school. So I left my job at the end of May... if I remember that correctly. June, July and August were the best months I've had in a while. I hung out with family and friends, spent tons of time on the beach, and at my cabin. I am so glad of the choices I have made up to now.

Remeber to find risks or goal or your dreams and to follow them. I am not saying jump in head first, but think about all your options and what would happen down the paths you can take. It can be well worth the risks.

Photodump!

Doing ECG's takes a lot of reference material for me still

Ryan took me to a Ice Rally to photograph. For some reason these guys made me laugh, being all matchy matchy in their white helmets with microphones.

I'm having to memorize these for a quiz I have tomorrow... it would definitely help if I could even pronounce them :/

Walking to the gym this morning. There was no one around. I thought maybe I had missed a memo or something

My supper tonight. mmhhmm

Another from the Ice Rally

Tried making this.... 'tried' being the key word. I can't read spanish so it was a big fail.... that tasted like crap.

Mhhmm Green Tea, timmies GT is so good

Naso and Oro airways, practice in lab

Stuff needed for intubation

I seem to be having problems making my own green tea at home. The bags and me don't agree. Either the thing falls off or the two part bag splits open. first world problems haha

Average night in my kitchen
