...bored






Well I started my practicum, and i'm really liking it. I love the ward I am on, and I love my residents. I am on the severe dementia ward. It looks very intimidating at first because the residents can not walk, and most can't talk. It is total care. But to wake them up in the morning, and listen to them talk and see the smiles on their faces, it's worth the hard work and more. Yesterday I took a lady outside and she loved it...Now remember they have severe dementia...She asked for ME this morning!! I have been there for a week now, and I know my residents really well. I can't wait to actually start working full time! We have our final exam on Monday! AHH wish me luck!!

This past weekend, Travis and I went to Quesnel for billy barker days. We got to see a band called Murquery, they sounded just like Queen. They were from Germany! We spent the whole weekend at the rodeo. I will add some pics. It was my first Rodeo, and I loved it!! I got really sun burned though UGH Anyways enough for now!

hmm I wonder

I have that new tracker on my blog. I noticed that someone looked at my blog from Kelowna. Please if you look at my blog Leave a comment. Not sure if it's you or not dad. But if it is my number is 250-572-1445 I know it's probably bad to leave my number on here, but I need to know if it's him. Thanks

Finally!!

Finally it's time for practicum. Tomorrow is our last official day in the class! I am so excited. I found out what ward I am working on too. I will be on 3b which is for the non ambulatory Dementia ward. So it will be total care. I was put with a friend of mine, Geneva. We will be good together, we are both quiet and will work good as a team. Tomorrow we are having a big luncheon and the school administer is getting us gifts! I am excited. We are also getting our picture taken for grad. Everything is coming to an end so quick! I am amazed on how fast it went. 7 more weeks till grad! Which means 7 weeks to lose as much weight as I can! I am going to have to get used to getting up early again. Well I better get to bed, morning comes fast! Have a good rest of the week, and weekend everyone!

Almost done!

Well we officially have 3 days of theory then we go into practicum! I can not wait to be hands on and meet my residents! The last 3 days have been kind of hard because we have not had an instructor. She has been very sick with the flu. So we have mostly been studying for our final. Yesterday was like high school drama all over again though. Wasn't very much fun. I can't wait till it's all done though!

I booked my flight to fort Nelson the other day! I am excited about that too. Can't wait to see my family. I am kind of upset with my family...My grandmother called the other day to come see everyone. She also told me to leave Travis outside...So if everyone is wondering why we didnt show up this weekend...ask grandma! Oh well I hope one day we can put everything behind us.

Gotta go for now, dinner is done, have a good weekend everyone!!

Havnt posted in a while

well I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I should. Nothing to exciting happening here.I have one more week of school, and we start our practicum. I am excited. We are all moved into our new place now! It was a VERY very long day and move. Just me and Trav it took us 16 hours! But we are all unpacked and everything now! YAY. The weather has been soo hot. When we moved the humidex was 41 degrees! We nearly died. Thank god in this place it is cooler, so we can't feel the heat as bad. We went to Quesnel last weekend, got to surprise Judy and Reiny!! (Travis' parents) We took them out to dinner for their anniversary. Then we went to Dwayne and Lorraine's Family reunion. The day we left I got food poisoning really bad,I didn't feel good until Wednesday or Thursday. Wednesday was my 24th birthday, I had school, and then Travis and I went to dinner at Chapters View Point. It was beautiful. I am going to post some pics of the view! So for anyone who reads my blog, I know where my dad is now! I am excited just to know he is ok. I am going to try and get enough nerve to ask him to come to my grad! So he can meet Travis' parents. My mom hasnt been doing to good. We need to get her help as soon as we can! Before she gets to far. Well I gotta go for now, I will post some pics from my birthday!
