curried chicken & clinical.

I think I may deserve an award. For lunch, I successfully made myself curried chicken over brown rice!! I know - curry chicken! Although I didn't make the curry and used pre-cooked chicken, this is an achievement worthy of becoming holiday because everyone knows the extent of my culinary skills. (But because my curry came from a can, I must admit that crazy-Mona's curry was better... but hey, she was Indian - she had that advantage.) Perhaps I am not a lost-cause in the kitchen after all!

Earlier this morning I met with my clinical group and instructor, which went really well. I have quite the collection of folks in my group - the 8 of us represent multiculturalism to a 'T": Canadian, American, Ethiopian, Chinese, Kenyan, and First Nations. Everyone seemed to get off the a great start, so I think this semester will be a lot fun. We get buddied up with someone else, then unleashed by ourselves to care for someone. Oh boy, I can only imagine what will happen 'sans' instructor. But anyways, next Monday is day 1 at the hospital so that leaves me 7 days to prepare: get proper scrubs, find my stethoscope, educate myself about strokes, and figure out the bus system. AHHH!

But besides that, I'm really enjoying school. I know it's only the second week of classes, but my routine feels more 'routine' than last year already. It's good to be back!
