vient le beau temps!

hello, sunshine! What a joy it is to have a day off to sit and soak up the sun. No one is home and that makes it even more cherishable. I passed my midterm after all!! Fortune smiles upon me. The teacher was very generous, in my opinion. I should have failed. That teacher is something else altogether, let me tell you. He's cute in his own way. When he starts the class, his shirt is all tucked in nicely but after about an hour and a half it's only partially tucked into his pants and by the end of the class, his shirt tails are all untucked and wrinkled. It's amusing. He really does enjoy teaching though. I can't stand that class but to witness his lectures about soundwaves and dBs makes it a little more tolerable. Ugh. I could never become an engineer. Anyway, now I should be doing my assignment for that very class... but it's just so nice out... How could I waste such a perfect day inside in front of a computer screen?? (this writing doesn't count... I'm only taking a break). I think I'm going to swim in a bit. The water's a little cold but who cares. So yeah, yesterday I got a loverly wake up call at about 5h42 am and it's my supervisor asking me to come into work. I love those day shifts. They are awesome. Specially when I do second cardiac (my favorite shift!!). It's great. When I'm done delivering the meals, I can go and loiter on the veranda on the fifth level for a while and it's so beautiful up there. I love it. So, that's what I did yesterday. The only sad thing about yesterday's shift was that one of my patients died. It was awful actually because it wasn't quietly or peaceful. Who wants to die amidst a frenzy of doctors trying to ressucitate you? With loudspeakers pretty much announcing your death throughout the building? "Cancel code blue. Cardiology Unit. Code bleu: Annulé. Institut de cardiologie". I find it harsh... Anyway, I have a game tonight. I'm kind of nervous. I'm not the best athlete ever but I made a promise to play. After that, I think we're going to the movies and that should be fun. Okay. well, I've had enough of a break. I'm going to get some water and then go rollerblading, I think... or swimming. Or maybe rollerblad first, then go swimming. Welcome, Summer!
