Today was a disgusting day and I feel 100% awful but at least I did something good and worked on the group stuff. Ayy.

I finally got the next book in a series I am reading. Only took a month.... I also typed up a few blurbs at long last. I also need to kick myself into gear and cut out the damn junk food... really need to lose the weight. :(

Got the results for my written and practical exams today (both I did several weeks ago but we weren't allowed to hear the results until today) and wow, my practical grade honestly just blew me away. Perfect score of 1,0. Perfect score in a practical health care exam with two patients suffering from dementia. Biggest surprise ever. Now I know why everyone at work, including the big boss, congratulated me like I am some sort of celebrity afterwards. :(

Next Thursday I'll have my last exams (oral) with a horrible workload (you don't want to see my file folder for learning) but if I survive this a well it's graduation time the next day.

I've been sick the last few days, but am starting to get over it. I made a homemade Arnold Palmer drink (lemonade with iced tea), though it ended up quite sugary using a lemonade recipe I found online. :x

I'm excited to make a chickpea sandwich thing with avocados. I'll probably make that tomorrow because I feel like tomato soup today.

Otherwise, my day has been okay. [Edit]

;___; Aw! I hope it goes away quickly. That looks good tho. I've never tried chickpeas in sandwiches? I usually eat them in couscous haha. @ Skylar

Thank you! I'm much better today... just in time to hang out with friends today and go out with Cyra and their dad tomorrow.

I didn't get the chance to make the sandwiches, because I had to use up some rice first. I've never use any sort of beans in a sandwich before nor thought to do so. I got the idea from a vegan cookbook.

Ahhh, you gave me an idea! I was going to make a couscous dish in a few weeks, and was wondering what kind of protein to put in. Chickpeas sound perfect!

Chickpeas in couscous is my jam! I'm not a fan of beans as they give me gas and bowel issues. So I'm skipping them.

Apart from that my day has been okay so far. My learning stuff pile is getting absolutely overwhelming but I keep telling myself that all these years of stress, pain and endurance this is the last big hurdle that I can do it. Wrote a summary about apoplexy/stroke plus concepts of treatments today, tomorrow it's time for the last pathology topic (diabetes II including the lovely little pancreas and late complications like nephropathy, retinopathy, PAOD) and besides that I only have to learn ~25 other big topics from four different fields. No biggie, right? X'D

We are the first year that has to go through this modified (aka changed from doable to mission impossible) exams system by the way. I love being a test subject.

Beans are difficult on the digestive system, so having the gas and bowel issues is understandable.

I like beans, except lima beans. They have a weird taste and texture to them.

@ Juice - That's a lot of subjects to cover in a short time. Good luck getting through the last hurtle! c:

I feel great, yesterday while my family was off doing their own thing, I got about 11 chapters read in the current book I am reading. Not too bad considering I'm not a fast reader due to my poor vision. (I don't care for audio books as I enjoy reading even if I am slow at it.)

Thank you! I'm really glad when this is over, I'm so done with everything right now. X'D

Good. Had pizza and chicken at my friend's house. Only got back at 9:30 PM. She lives three doors down from the most famous 'haunted' building in town, if you believe that stuff. Ghosts or not, it's awfully spooky there at night.

Some people on this website are so gross. I need a break from this site, especially from toxic people like them. [screams into the outer space] to the alieeens

I'm growing a bit restless because I have quite a few bills due and college will be kicking up shortly. Why did you have to break, oh dear washer. Hopefully I can pay for my textbooks, hopefully.

Otherwise, it was an okay day. Went to the chiropractor and I hurt all over haha (but it feels much better than before being treated).

Hope everyone had a nice day! [Edit] I could really go for some pizza ... (whispers) it's 7am.

Things are pretty good here. There's some sort of construction upstairs, but I've got earplugs and headphones. :D

- I would explore a "haunted" building because I like looking at older buildings. But, I can see it being spooky at night.

- Nooooo, don't go. D:

I made that chickpea sandwich and it was AMAZING. Even the leftovers are really good.

I've had pizza in the morning many times. I love it. XD

I'm taking a sort of break from being social tbh. I'm just like ... grossed out haha. COLD PIZZA IN THE MORNING FOR MY COLD SOUL (part of my childhood and sometimes veggie pizza for breakfast bc who cares? not me hehehe) Oooh sandwich! What did you had in it (aside from them lil peas)?

By the way, I will be outta town from tomorrow afternoon til sunday afternoon. I'll not carry my duties unless I find some mighty wifi (ouo)b

- It's understandable. There are times I need a social interaction breaks too.

Almonds, avocados, nutritional yeast, and some other spices. Today, I had bread and butter pickles with them, and it was even better.

That's good to know. Thank you for the heads up! c:

Good. Went back to my friend's house with a smoked bone for her dog, because I'm tired of him sounding the alarm every time I ring the doorbell. So far, so good. It got him to shut up for thirty seconds or so. I'm gonna bring him a treat every time I visit, and hopefully he'll stop treating me as an intruder.

Big news, big news. GRADUATED TODAY! ❤️

Had my oral exams yesterday and omg I managed to finish them all with 1,0 / A+. Even the law part (my topic was assissted dying there) went just awesome and I'm super proud about that one especially. In pathology I got the topic I secretly wished for - multiple sclerosis so that was like a walk in the park haha. Had to show some stuff concerning the neural system on a flip chart and felt like a relaxed showmaster while standing there. X'D

I'm a little melancholic now though. My course grew together in these years like a big family so it's going to be tough not to see them regularly. We definitely want to stay in contact though and tonight we are throwing a big party in a club that we rented for a night. Still, I'm somewhere between laughing and crying today and I'm nervous as well because I'm starting my new job next Wednesday and new situations are a nightmare for me. Looking forward to throw up like mad starting on Tuesday, I'm like a shark in this regard. ^^;

CONGRATULATION! (insert confettis here)

I understand how it can turn melancholic. It's like, the end of an "era" with your course. Hopefully you can stay in contact with them and I hope you'll have some fun. New jobs can be very stressful and drive you into the pit of anxiety. It's basically our best recipe because it's new, you don't have much control over things and you're mostly afraid to fudge up. However, I hope things goes well for you. Take a deep breath and do relaxing things. It's okay to go at your pace and to say "man, I'm anxious and stressed as hell". You got this! (ouo)b

Thank you ^___^

I will do my best to relax, that's for sure. I already worked at my new job for a day to see if I like the place and so far the colleagues seemed to be okay so I hope it won't be bad there. Sometimes I hate myself for being such a chicken but what can you do, I am what I am just like that old song says. X'D

P.S.: We have another thunderstorm. That's ridiculous, this year's weather is a joke...
