It's over! The situation, after a long difficult week in battle, has been fixed and everything is back to normal. I still won't explain the situation here and will only say this, I hope they sue that doctor into the ground!
I don't care who you are, if you are a doctor, your priority is the well being of that HUMAN BEING. As soon as the doctor stops treating the patient like a fellow human being, they are already not fit to hold that position.
I've never had so much angst, worry, and anger in my whole life as I did this week. In fact, I wasn't able to eat for 2 days practically and I got so sick and passed out in a bloody coffee shop! :p (Thanks for being there, Ker!)
Sometimes you don't know the sort of bullshit that goes on in our medical system-and when you find out-it is so unbelievably shocking.
Oye. So to celebrate, we all went out to Paddy's last night (7 of us) for food and drink and talk. I just had a ginger ale. I was feeling much better but I didn't want to try it. Then somehow we were all convinced to go to the station(!?) and so off we all went. We secured nice table by the bar and talked and took the view in. But it got SO incredibly crowded again. I mean, it's great when it is packed because it makes it way more fun but...when it's packed to that extreme, you can't get across the room! and hence you can't find anyone!! That was my problem.
But luckily our stationary spot allowed people to find us. I had 2 Keiths....oh well. Got home around 2:30am and dropped off to bed. I woke up not feeling so great. haha. I feel so sluggish today but now that it is the evening, I'm feeling much better.
A quick workout, walked the dogs, tidying up my room, and perhaps a movie tonight with my best friend-and maybe the rest of the group! and maybe some pubbing later??? who knows.
Anyway, it's hard to believe that in a few days I have to go back to Toronto and move into my new residence room. :(
I leave my doggie behind. And all the fun I had here this holiday--except for the week of HELL arhhg. I'm not really looking forward to it, mostly because I'm supposed to write an exam on Jan 3 and because of me being sick and this crap happening during most of it, I didn't really have time to study. I'm asking for a deferal from my professor. They are usually really understanding about things. So, fingers crossed. Cuz there is no way I can learn the vocab and grammar to read that many chapters in Hebrew in 3 days :S
I guess I'm also disappointed to go back because I am going back alone, I have to get back to the grindstone-so much work ahead of me, I have to go to work and put WAY more hours in because I owe a lot of money--so reality is coming back haha, and etc etc. Hopefully it will be a good time. But I can't wait until the summer. I actually get to come HOME for the summre for the first time in my life! I dunno, I like hanging out and pubbing in my hometown more.. I think because I know most of the people and I dunno, it's a nice feeling to walk into the pub or bar and know you always have someone to talk to or get chummy with. And you just know where everyone is going to be!
"where everybody knows your naaa-aame" haha.
I think Toronto is too intense for me.
But this is also my last year and term at U of T folks, so, to all the good friends I HAVE met there, keep in touch and I hope to see lots of you this term! We need frequent pub nites, alright?? I'm now on campus so I have no excuse!!
And apparently I'm running the NMCUSA volleyball team for intramurals....that's going to be interesting....wait a minute, now I'm vagually remembering that I signed myself up for intramural indoor soccer....oye.
Sighh..I'm just going to try to enjoy the days i have left here with my friends and dog in my hometown before the rush of school returns.
As my nana says, as passed down from her nana,
"Stop the world! I want to get off!"
Happy Holidays and New Year, everyone.
