I need to just write the day of again. All my things I'm trying to write are from forever ago. Like I still haven't finished my study abroad entries, or the Chicago entries, and I haven't even started on entries for the cruise that we went on this year. Those are all things I want to finish, I just really have to be in the mood to work on them. But for now, I just need to write about current stuff, like today, like I used to.
Last night, I went home. I've been staying at Nana's so much that I'm only home once or twice a week now. But I mainly went home because Beck was coming over later tonight and I felt like I should at least visit with her a bit (unlike Janell, she didn't come home). So I went home last night, did some vitals on my mom for one of my classes, ate Culver's that my mom brought home, went to sleep on the mattress downstairs and woke up drenched in sweat, and then visited with Beck when she showed up. We talked a bit about my work at the hospital and that was about it. That night I couldn't fall asleep at all. It was like, past 4 AM when I fell asleep. And I was really into playing the '1 Block' mode of bed wars on Hypixel. I played that for hours while watching Out of Character. Felt like the good ol' days. I guess I should mention, the reason Beck came over was because in the morning, my mom, dad, and Beck were all driving to Tennessee for Johnny and Ari's wedding. So I am also in charge of running the house for the next couple of days.
So when I woke up at around 11 AM, everyone was already gone, they'd left at around 8 AM. So I got ready, brushed my teeth, put in my rubber bands, and then went out to feed the animals. I fed the cats, then called the dogs to the back porch and fed them. Chowder didn't really get to eat because he only wanted me to throw water on him, but he'll be fine. Then I put my stuff in my car, fed orange man at the building, and drove off. I didn't have class until 3 PM, so I was planning on going and pomping at 343 because I NEED pomping hours. I do not want to sober drive the homecoming party.
So I showed up there, sitting in the parking lot, and worked up the nerve to send a text to the TKE group chat asking if anyone was pomping. Nobody responded and I was left on read. Great. So I just decided to go in on my own. It was really awkward, I walked down the stairs and kind of just stood there. There were probably 15-20 people there. Several guys from the other frat, several Tri Delta girls, and no tekes. But luckily, two of the girls said I could sit with them and they gave me tissue paper and stuff to ball up. Mason, the guy I used to play saxophone with in high school, was also there and was part of the other frat we're paired with. So I talked to him for a bit. But I was there for about an hour and 20 minutes. It was not fun.
I left and went to the library because I still had 40 minutes or so before my class. I finally got connected to the SEMO Wi-Fi there. I've been using my phone hotspot all this time because I couldn't get connected, but I figured it out. I saw Scott Gers at the library as I was leaving and I talked to him for a bit. He was working on a historical preservation timeline or something. Cool. As I was leaving the library and walking to my class, I got a text from Lance saying that I was going to be training someone tonight, and THAT kind of scared me. Because I barely knew what to do myself on Tuesday. This was going to be my second day by myself, and I was already training someone. But it might be fun.
My pharmacology class was kind of awkward. Lots of talk of birth control, periods, blue balls, condoms, IUDs, and sex. So that was interesting.
After class I went to the Cape library for a bit just to waste 40 minutes or so. I changed the background of the blog. It's a bit more to theme now.
I left the library and went to work at 6:30. I changed in my car, clocked in early, went to the bathroom, and went to the house supervisor office. Tyler, the guy I'd be training was already in there. He was Mexican and had a beard, that's probably all I can give to describe him. So we went to the med tele break room, he told me it was his third day training, and then we sat in the break room. For a long time. Like 2 and a half hours. We were getting no requests. And I wanted to walk around or something, so I told him I was going to give him a little tour of the hospital, so we both got up and started walking. I showed him the laboratory, and then we walked to elevator J, the keycard elevator. Somehow he already knew like, everything. We went down to ER, then went up elevator L to floor 2, then walked to elevator D and went back to med tele. So everything I was telling him, he apparently already knew. I was like, "Do you know where the oxygen tanks are stored for this unit?" and he was like, "Yup," but I didn't even know where they were, so I don't know how he's apparently just a genius. So then we went back to the break room and did nothing. I got some homework done I guess. But yeah, there were no requests for the whole night. Then we left and he stopped at the vending machine and I didn't wait for him because I didn't realize he'd stopped. So it was just kinda awkward with him.
I left and went to Nana's, probably made some mac and cheese, and went to bed.
Day was a 5/10.
