Today was Friday, so I had my fundamentals clinical, and it was actually early today. Usually she gives us an hour off in the morning, so we don't have to be there until 8 AM, but today we had to be there at 7 AM. But I got up on time, maybe even a little early, at around 5:45 AM. My mom was also there to get me up because she was leaving for work. But I got ready and left. I kind of like being up this early. Not all the time, but every once in a while. There was a great sunrise this morning. It was also chilly, it was the first time I've seen it be in the 30s since early this year.
I got to class and turned in my med pass cards. I ended up turning in the orange cards because I did not transfer over all the stuff onto the templated ones my mom printed out. Then we took a quiz over med pass, and I got a 2/10. Holy mackerel that was rough. I really just got unlucky, I knew the two I got right and I guessed on the others. Chances are I would have gotten some of them right, but no. Just unlucky. The questions were things like, "How long do you leave a syringe in after an intramuscular injection." I didn't know if that one was 5 or 10 seconds. Anyways, class went on, I had the stupid chair that somehow always comes back to my spot no matter if I move it. It's the chair that doesn't stay up, it will slowly lower down and I'll be on the floor while everyone else is raised up to the table. It sucks, but I just have to deal with it. For the rest of the first half of this class, we went over the med cards, then had scenarios where we got to practice giving different injections on this fake skin. I was in a group with Adriana and Breanna, but it was kind of like a big group, because the class was split in half. So we did some injections, some insulin stuff, I think Mrs. Stinnett accidentally pricked herself with an insulin needle so she was freaking out. We also practice pumping the stuff out of a dummy with an NG tube, that was gross. They had this weird vomity mixture and some people went up and did that, I didn't Before we went for our lunch break, we all got in a circle and were given an ampule to crack open. We went one by one and some people were really struggling. I was the last to go, and mine went easily. Poor Breanna somehow cut herself. Then we went to lunch.
I got Janell to come get me lunch. We caught up some and were talking about Halloween costumes quite a bit. She thinks I should be Frank Gallagher. I don't know what I'm gonna be. Probably nothing, because check-offs are the day before Halloween and I'll be too stressed about that. I had Indian food and Janell had pizza, what's new. Towers Landing was actually packed because it was some kind of orientation day or high school day at SEMO, so there were high schoolers everywhere. I saw Panashe in line and he said hi to me. I also saw Rakin while I was sitting with Janell. He was apparently a leader for one of these tour groups, but he lost his group. But we talked for a bit. And that was lunch.
I went back to class at 1 PM and we were just working on previous skills now to practice for check-offs next week. So Adriana and I went through three of the four we need to know. We didn't have time for foley catheters because we got out early at 3 PM and we both kind of wanted to leave. But we got some good practice in. We also talked a lot, which was nice, because honestly, I really haven't just talked to someone besides Janell or someone, in a while. We talked about homecoming, how I'm in a frat, how my grandma's house's floors are getting done, I learned that her dad also does lumber, that she drank a Coronarita (I'd never heard of that) after the tailgate last Saturday, all sorts of stuff. So that was nice. We took a picture after class because Kaylen wanted to for some reason, but that was also kind of nice.
After class, there was the social with Tri Delta at 6 PM, so I didn't want to go home and have to come back, so I went to Nana's for a couple of hours. I was hoping they'd be done, but they still weren't over there. It's been like a month now. The workers weren't there when I got there, but the floors looked wet from the varnish. But I tested them out, and they were just a little bit tacky. Barely noticeable. So I took off my shoes and tiptoed to the stairs. I went upstairs and played some Fortnite and relaxed. There was also dust everywhere in the house. I guess from them sanding the floors down, but it was even all upstairs. My TV stand was covered, my fridge, my desk. How did that much dust get up here? But whatever.
I left to go to 333 a little after 6 PM, I didn't want to get there too early. There were some people there, including Janell. I didn't think there'd be too many people there because I think Phi Delta or someone is having their philanthropy event at this same time, but there were some people. It was kind of awkward at first, I just showed up and didn't know what to do. But Mason told me to carve a pumpkin, so I got one and got busy. I didn't know what I was going for, it ended up being a pretty standard looking jack-o-lantern. Hannah kept saying mine was the worst. I also accidentally threw away the top of it, so it didn't have a top. But I liked mine. I didn't really get a picture of it. Then we just sat around the campfire and talked some. I made a smore, so that was good. Then Keely sat next to me, and after a while, Owen and whoever started saying "Maybe Bronson is the problem," and then he was mouthing, "f*ck you." And apparently he was doing all this because he thought that I was the one who sat down next to Keely because I was still into her. First off, why does he care, second off, I sat here first, third off, I'm not still into her, I'm not talking or looking at her, she just sat next to me. He doesn't even like her, he calls her fat, so why is he defending her. So that was weird. Keely did this thing where she passed the camera around and everyone was supposed to take a picture of themself, and I think mine turned out pretty bad. I didn't stay too long after that, because they started breaking out the wine and I had to get home and do my homework that was due tonight. I gave Kenedy my seat when I was leaving.

So that really wasn't that great there, could've been better. I got home and started on my homework. I got one of the assignments done at the campfire, but the other was a quiz for assessment lecture, which I needed to do, because I have a 74% in that class for forgetting to do the last quiz. So I did it and my mom helped me, but there was 15 minute time limit, and the questions were taking us longer than 15 minutes. So I didn't get as much time as I needed, but at least it was done. Then I went downstairs and made a box of pasta and ate it all, basically in one sitting. Then I'm pretty sure I had a pretty severe food coma. I've never had that before, but it happens when you eat a lot at once, especially carbs, and you get really tired because your body has to break it all down. I don't even really remember falling asleep or anything, I just woke up and a couple hours had passed. It was like, 2 AM now. So that was weird. Then I worked on some of the EAQ questions due Sunday, and then at around 3 AM, I wanted to watch a horror movie since it's almost Halloween, so I watched The Shining, which I'd never seen, and I have to be honest, it was a lot different than I was expecting. It was a lot more psychological than I'd thought. Creepiest scene was the decomposing bath lady. But it was an alright movie, great cinematography and acting.
I think it was almost 6 AM before I fell back asleep. So that was my day. It did feel like a pretty full day, so I'll give it a 5/10.
