The Fifth Marauder

It has been a review-free day. For the past 2 weeks, I have been trying to read my saunders book as fast as I can. I'm done with med-surg and pharma, the 2 subjects i have had the most difficulty with in nursing. So today is my dad's birthday, I woke up later than usual, and grabbed a non-nursing book, there's a boy in the girls' bathroom. It's a book from the children's books genre, written by Louis Sachar, the same person who wrote Holes. I just found the book lying around here in the apartment and I think it was from one of the residents at the nursing home my dad works at, and the lady gave him that book because it was one of her faves. Or something like that. Anyway I finished reading it in less than an hour. It was about the same length as a sweet valley kids book. I liked it. It almost made me cry, but then again I am such a sap so I cry at the slightest provocation. Hahaha. It was refreshing to read something that does not have assessment, symptoms, drugs, nursing interventions, etc etc on it. I'm just glad that reviewing and nursing has not ruined my love for reading. Anyway I finished the book in time to get ready for my dad's birthday lunch at some japanese resto. Food was good, we got free dessert (green tea mochi balls yum) and in an hour, we will be doing the laundry and preparing for dad's birthday dinner (just yellow cupcakes with chocolate icing and pancit hehehe). It looks like I won't be getting any rebyuwing done until later tonight.

Funny, I just noticed that the paragraph above looked like bullets but placed side by side and separated by a period so that it'll resemble a paragraph. Dem you plurk. hahahaha. Anyway the good news is that the ground hogs are waking up from their hibernated states and that means winter is almost over. Whee. I can  take the garbage out in my slippers in a few days or so. It's been a hassle having to wear a hat, snow boots, pants, and a heavy coat whenever it's time to empty the trashbins here in the apartment.

I think I'm getting tired of the bum life. I know that even if I did pass the NCLEX (which I am planning to take around late Feb or early March), I would still have to find an employer willing to sponsor me, and then join the uber long queue of nurses waiting for their green cards. Hay. When will the waiting end? I am getting impatient already. Anyway, there's plenty of time to worry about that. Chelle did tell me to take it one day at a time. Maybe if I waited long enough I will wake up one day and I would be bitching about work instead of my unemployed-ness. Hahaha labo I know. For the meantime I think I would be better off doing a few questions on one of my review softwares instead of complaining.

Things are not going too well for me right now. I have already cried a little, out of frustration, and those tears and this entry are all I could manage right now. Too many things to do. I just decided to follow one of my LJ friends' example and made a list of 5 things I am thankful for everyday, to make myself feel better.

1. Canned whipped chocolate frosting. That thing is pure evil but oh so yummy.
2. My bed, the awesomest (hahaha) bed in the entire world, especially after a few hours of rebyu mode.
3. Tweener shows like Hannah Montana, Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and iCarly. Oh, and Sonny With a Chance too even if it's a new show and there are only 2 episodes out.
   
4. Having the apartment to myself for an average of 6 hours per day.
5. The internet. Sure I complain about it all the time because it's hella slow and it gets disconnected everytime somebody tries to call our land line (dem you telemarketers!), but at least I have an internet connection and I can plurk. Haha

Kayo na po ang bahala Lord.
