Oh yeah, I’m back from Whistler. I had an incredible time and I can’t wait to tell you about it and show you the pictures/videos, but I have one more test to get through this week before I have time to do that.
In the mean time, I thought this was a particularly good Toothpaste For Dinner comic from the other day:
This semester is FLYING BY! I’ve already finished 2 out of 3 rotations, and that is great.
Epson is sending me some free ink because I called to complain about my printer saying it is empty even though I can hear ink sloshing around inside of the cartridges. The free ink is awesome, but the whole problem started because of the extreme crumpling action that the printer does every once and a while and that is not fixed at all. Blergh. I do not recommend Epson printers.
Our Halloween was very uneventful. We didn’t have any trick-or-treaters because we live in an apartment building. We didn’t carve a pumpkin this year. We didn’t dress up or go out. We didn’t even buy any Halloween candy!! WE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE ANY CANDY AT WORK!! >:(
This weekend should be plenty exciting though. 6 hours of skeleton!!! I am extremely excited. I’m not sure how fast we’ll be able to go though because it’s still quite warm up at Whistler. So I might not break 100 km/hr this time, but I hopefully learn some new stuff, and after I’ve finished the “course” my options for skeleton are much better.
Wait!! Scott did carve a pumpkin this year. At work!! He won a prize! Actually that is a pretty epic hamburger pumpkin. I am super proud of him.
+ Scott and I figured out how to make kettle corn at home. It’s super easy. I may never eat anything else again. I will take some pics and post the recipe the next time we make it (probably tomorrow, haha).
+ I won a scholarship for my performance at school last year. YAY! It’s the Brenda Clark Nuclear Medicine Technology Scholarship. How fancy.
+ I was thinking maybe I could do some posts about nuclear medicine. I could write up some of the explanations that I give to patients and show you some of the equipment and maybe some of the types of pictures we take? I am tired of people having no idea at all about what I am studying. Would you be interested in some “intro to nuclear medicine” posts at all?
+ Scott and I are (probably) renting a car this coming weekend and going up to Whistler. Brian and I are going to do skeleton school. And Brian and Morgan have moved up there permanently now, so Scott and I get to stay with them. :) Was that confusing? Hope not. Anyway of course I am super pumped about skeleton and if we get to do the course we will be able to join any training sessions now instead of relying on the SFU ones. WOOOO. Brian really got hooked last year so he’s probably going to be doing it a lot this season!! Hopefully I get to go a few times as well.
+ My hospital placement is going fine. Not great, but fine. I don’t think I could ever be loud enough to fit in there, really.
OK BACK TO BUMMING AROUND. BYE BYE!
On Wednesday Leslie came to visit us on her way to Korea. It was really great to see her, and I can’t wait to hear about her upcoming adventures!! She already has more plans in the next month than I do!!!
We brought Leslie to The Eatery because she is an adventurous sushi eater. :D It’s pretty far from our house but it’s so fun and tasty! I love that restaurant. It always seems worth the journey.
Now that Scott and I have been there a few times we have a better idea of the good and not-so-good rolls and we ended up with a really really good meal. All the food was awesome.
From top to bottom:
And the one on the right:
I loved the Figa Roll and the Italian Stallion the most, as usual.
I guess the drinks were the weak part of the meal. The waitress brought Scott the wrong beer, the blender was broken so I couldn’t get a sake margarita, and Leslie’s snakebite didn’t have any grenadine in it. :/
HALLO. I AM STRESSED OUT.
Right now I am on a dinner break but as soon as I stop eating I have to get back to work. OMG so much stuff to do this week. I made a schedule today so I don’t forget anything.
See you next week!! :'(
