In need of some flying lessons....

This quote has really been sticking out in my mind lately, I got it in an e-mail that someone sent me a while back and I kinda forgot about it until now. I'm getting slightly discouraged, not at the fact that I still don't know many people, but more at the fact that even if I did know people, I wouldn't have any time to spend with them. I worked close to 63 hours this week, and it doesn't look much better for next week. Don't get me wrong, I absolutly love my job and I don't mind the hours, but I am starting to get a little burned out. I think it's mostly because I haven't really been sleeping a lot, my neighbours upstairs like their music loud and their footsteps heavy.... ideally, i'd find a place that had a backyard and quiet neighbours/tennents... I guess that I can't really complain though, because I am picky, I really want a place where Dash can live with me, it would just be nice if that place could be quiet and nice for her as well, like more room for her to run while i'm at work, or if I wanted to go out after work, lol, not that it happens a lot... Ok I'm done my pity party, when God's ready for me to get out of here he'll provide a place.
Anyways, on to less depressing chat, cause I'm done feeling sorry for myself. So the owl made it's way to saskatoon today instead of yesterday. As of last night it was bathed again, eating well and drinking. Also he was trying to fly, which was so exciting, because when he first came he couldn't even open his wings. (I don't actually know the owls gender, but based on his size, I believe that it is male, however it could just be a jeuvenile hoot, I'm really not sure so for now I shall call it a he) Anyways, I'm anxious to keep up to date on the whole recovery and I promise to keep you up to date as well (whether you care or not is irrelavent because I think he's really neat and no one is forcing you to read this blog) I have lots of pictures, I'm pretty excited.
I can't believe that it's almost the end of June, the time has gone by so fast, not like I'll be going back to school or anything...lol.... I'm glad to be done, but I'm also sad not to be going back. I know that probably doesn't make a lot of sense to some of you, but even though college was full of heartbreak arguments, and dissapointment, it was also full of excitment, new experiences, and new friends. I miss not having bills to pay..lol... I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Oh well, I'll survive, I'm sure I will, I've made it this far already, and it can only go up from here right? Speaking of surviving, I'd like to make it through tomorrow so I should probably go aquaint myself with my pillow once more....

So..... exoctic?

I figured that would be a good name for this post because of the animals that I have been dealing with. Today was a day for the unexpected, it was pretty cool though....first thing this morning, I got to give injections to tortoises, you would not believe how strong their little legs are, especially when you are trying to inject into the muscle..... they were pretty cool though. It really shows you how creative God is to make a creature so amazing that they can hide all of their vulnerable parts to avoid being injured, but they can still function and move and live..... so maybe you don't think thats an exoctic or really cool, but another thing that I am sure you will love is the owl. I got to help bath an owl this evening, it was found in a barrel of crude oil and looked pretty nasty, but it got cleaned up and tomorrow it will go on a journey to Saskatoon for further treatment and hopefully a smooth recovery. Owl's are amazing creatures, I'm not so sure that many of you have actually been close enough to an owl to see how awesome they really are, but I do have to say that they are really neat. (and for those of you who don't believe that an owls head actually turns 360 degrees, believe it cause it's true) They have the biggest most amazing eyes I have ever seen, and so bright. Their one eyelid is thick and clear and watching them blink is pretty neat. The only time that he closed his eyes the whole time we were washing him was when we got near his beak, he closed his eyes and tried to bite us....lol.... good thing he didn't bite hard, cause that would have probably taken a finger off.... anyways, i'll attempt to put some pictures on here eventually of the owl, as soon as I figure out how to put pictures on the website...lol... that may take a while. It's been pretty steady at work, but so far it's been a good thing, it keeps me on my toes and alert, even though I'm starting to get a little burned out, it'll be good after I get a couple days when I'm not working and not studying or trying to accomplish something. I'm just going to take a weekend (eventually) and hang out and relax, and do nothing other then that, and I know that I will probably have to work harder at doing nothing then I would have to to do something, because it's been so long since I haven't had to do anything, but I will do it, I'm determined....lol..or exhausted, I haven't decided yet. One thing that I have decided is that my nice little apartment isn't so ideal at the moment, I think I'm just frusterated cause my upstairs neighbours decided to have a party last night and keep me up until all hours of the morning then I had to get up early for work...grrr...oh well, speaking of getting up, tomorrow is going to come sooner then I am prepared for so I should proably call it a night. Have a good one all!!

So totally done studying...

Hey faithful readers!! I know that it's been a while, but I have been super busy studying for my national exam, which by the way, I wrote on Friday and now I am finished. I don't get my results back until late August or early September but for the time being I am not even going to think about it. I am officially done studying!! It's exciting, although I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do now, I'll actually have spare time... ha ha ha....I'm sure that I'll find something to do.... At the moment I'm about ready for a nap though.... it's been a rough couple of months without proper sleep due to stress and anxiety, now that I don't have to stress of the exam I am super tired....I think thats because the adrenalin is gone... lol... it'll come back when I get back to work on Monday morning, I'm sure of it.... anyways, thats all for now, I'll update again soon... for now, my pillow is calling my name!! Night all!!

Very short update...

Hey all, hopefully this week has treated you well. I am doing pretty good, but unfortunatly this has to be a short update cause my finger hurts a tremendous amount.... I got a paper cut under my finger nail today, and every time I touch something it hurts and starts bleeding again. I just thought I would update this quickly to let you know that I am still surviving! Catch ya later! Have a good one all!!

With a song in my heart and a tear in my eye...

I bid farewell to my classmates, instructors and support staff when I graduated on Saturday morning. It was exciting, slightly scary, but mostly really great. I got to see quite a few of my friends again, which was awesome, but saying goodbye again, was a little tough. Now I feel a sense of completion, which I probably should considering I am done. Now all I have to do is get through my national exam, which I'm sure that I can do, because of the support that I get from all of you guys. I have to say thanks to all of you. I have been hearing for the past couple weeks now how proud you all of are me, but I want to tell you how proud I am of you.... I really couldn't have done it without the support and love that all of you have shown me, so thank you so much, and I appreciate your continued prayers..... My first couple weeks of work have been awesome so far. They are all great to me, and make me feel so welcome... I love it there.....I'm afraid I'm going to make this a short update, cause I am exhausted and I have to be up super early tomorrow.... so have a good night faithful readers, and I'll update again soon!
