Also, I got facebook once again, so add me there too.

We had some good times, Stella and I, but she’s met her maker. It was going to cost more to fix her than she was worth. Rather than get a new beater, my parents and I discussed for a while and came to the conclusion that it would be better for me to get a new car as I was going to get one upon graduating anyway. That said, after much deliberation, together we settled on a Honda Civic. Excellent mileage, good(ish) price, sleek, sporty. Everything you need for your midlife crisis. …which I missed when I went from 8 to 80 on my 9th birthday. So I’m reliving my 30′s now I guess.

Anyway, I figured I’d give you some photos so you can chew it over and picture me driving it. I can’t find a photo of the exact colour that mine will be… but it will be that dark grey/pewter colour on the outside with black grey and silver details on the interior. Oh, and it has a sunroof. I win.

Here are pictures:

I’m so pumped right now. I feel like a real adult. It’s scary, but I’ll take it.

Love,
Adam

Generally I like Halifax. It’s very beautiful, very artsy. Just my type. I don’t really like how far away everything is, but the bus system is pretty awesome at taking care of that problem so it’s all good as long as you aren’t in a rush or late for work.

Working in Halifax is lovely. The nurses are quite nice, the workload seems smaller than that in Newfoundland. Thoracic Surgery isn’t nearly as scary as it sounds, my eyes don’t widen anymore once I hear it… but I can make other people’s eyes widen when I say it so it’s all good I’m learning so much. I can almost feel myself learning it’s so hardcore. Everyday I learn like 18 new things at least. Last night was my first nightshift thus far and it was absolutely fantastic.

Aside from that nothing’s really new. I haven’t decided yet if I want to live in Halifax. Right now I’m leaning toward staying in St. John’s for a while, but I’m not discounting Halifax just yet.

Dawn is pregnant and due soon. Very exciting.

Ya’ll keep asking me to put up a recent picture of me so here you are:

Aside from all of that, Christina has a dog and cat so Im in love. I have all the Starbucks I can drink, new shoes, Chapters, public transit and epic walks and new adventures. Life is good right now.

Now I need to get to evaluating myself.

I meet my preceptor Friday.

And by the way:

Equality by =novenarik on deviantART

I really liked this picture and fav’d it on DA and thought I’d share it with all of you.

Last night, my father made a really, really rude and ignorant (in that it was not full of knowledge) comment about “the gays.” I obviously stood up and argued his point but then I was deemed “too uppity” but I don’t remember exactly how he called me uppity, but he didn’t use that word. But that’s what he meant. Anyway, it kind of shocked me because, well, I guess I just hadn’t heard much like that since highschool. It’s funny, when I moved out I kind of created a little bubble for myself and I guess forgot that the world still functions on ignorance. I think Eminem said it best when he said “Snap back to reality | Whoop there goes gravity.”

Anyway, I just needed to put that out there somewhere because it really bothered me, made me rant and roar, and is still bothering me. Groos, mang.

In other news I’m fairly convinced I’m going to buy a Nissan Cube when I graduate. Y/N? They’re pretty hilarious and lovely. And the environment doesn’t hate them, of course it doesn’t love them either, but it doesn’t hate them as much as say… my current car… or a Hummer.

If, when I take it out for a test drive, I end up not liking it, I’m thinking I’m going to get a Sentra or Venza. Both Nissan, btw. Other options include a corolla (idk why I like them but I do), a Civic or a Fit. I also really like the VWs but am not going to buy one as Dawn and Judi talked me out of it. The Cube is nicer. I think with the Cube, my biggest deal would be that it’s not a car. I really, really enjoy driving cars. I think I will have issues with driving a box. But we’ll see.

Now, I’m going to go study some Medsurg (exam on Saturday) and write some notes on Breast Cancer. WOO. Cancer is really depressing. I read some news the other day, however, on cancer-fighting nano technology that’s apparently coming. Very exciting. Very very exciting.

Bye for now,

Today, and probably weeks later (I usually keep my curtains closed… apparently I function better in unnatural light), I can see grass.

This is awesome when you have classes at 0830hrs.

Gah!
