Current Events

I just realized I haven't updated in a while. Too busy, I guess. I love being at home.

Wednesday night rehearsal was... yeah. ( Not Good. )

Dinner yesterday for graduating psychiatry residents. Very nice food, good company, nice time. And I met the one psych resident who also did Med School at Queen's, as well as his spouse. Who also usually avoids medical functions at all costs, as he is also deeply scarred by Queen's medical dinners. Glad to see I'm not the only one who found sitting through endless discussions about medicine and being utterly ignored by everyone for an entire evening rather unpleasant. I remember thinking at the time that it seemed being mute was the best asset a medical spouse could have.

Anyway, this dinner wasn't like that, thank god. In fact, I even met somebody who went to nursing school with one of my university friends. Cool.

Got mine and Justin's hair trimmed for the wedding next Friday. Have I mentioned how relieved I am that Karen didn't ask me to be her maid of honour? So far there's been a bridal shower, bachelor and bachelorette parties, a box-making party, this Sunday is the pre-rehearsal, Thursday is the rehearsal, and Friday the actual wedding. Then there's a reception, then a gift-opening at the new married couple's home the day after. Not to mention fittings, pre-wedding hair and makeup appointments, etc etc. The mind boggles.

Reading the Neanderthal Parallax by Robert Sawyer. It's utterly weird to read a novel set in Canada. It feels like fic, actually - like something a friend of mine wrote, but obviously not something anybody would actually publish, since the reading public would get utterly confused by loonies, Prime Ministers, Sudbury, Tim Horton's, nickel mining, York University, socialized medicine, etc etc.

Good books though. The plot and ideas are very interesting. Although I do wish he'd stop clubbing the readers over the head with the Moral Lesson!! Listen to the Moral Lesson!! LISTEN!!! DID YOU GET THE MORAL LESSON?!! I'LL REPEAT IT, THEN!!

It's Turtles All The Way Down!

Just got my marks. I'm a straight-B+ student. Contracts, Property, ADR, Legislation, all B+.

I'm a little disappointed in my Legislation mark - an A would've been really nice - but hey. Straight B+s in a year that included a hysterectomy and my mom's cancer? Not too shabby.

Besides, I'm kind of stunned that apparently I aced the Contracts exam (going from C to B+ - WTF?!) and did well on Property despite the fact that I couldn't tell my ass from my Rule Against Perpetuities ;)

Dear Karma Directors:

I would really appreciate it if life in general would stop sucking. Right about now.

Thanks!

Good news today:
B+ all the way.
Generally good day with kids and Chris. Nuclear family fairly stable.

Bad news today, in descending order of importance (to me):
My mother's cancer has grown.
Friend from high school's dad passed away.
Pre-rehearsal early early early Sunday morning.
