New Semester

This semester I will finish off the endocrinology course I'm currently in, and start the CPR block (cardio, pulmonary, renal). I'm looking forward to CPR because thats when we start anatomy (this link will take you to some sweet dissection videos)! I will probably buy my own human dissection kit sometime this week. Nothing major like buzz-saws and corkscrews, just some forceps, scissors, and scaples.

Isn't my girlfriend beautiful? She is not really happy to have braces again, but that just means that she'll have perfect teeth by September!! I wish Carla was living over here but instead she is going to move into her mom's house for a semester. I can't wait until she is living with me with those perfect teeth!

Very Very Bad Day

Wow. I only had 2.5 hours of lecture this morning. So I went to school all bundled up and proceeded to the men's med locker room to put away all my stuff. I suppose during that 2.5 hours somebody cut through my lock, went through my stuff and took my wallet and palm pilot. FUCK!!

Lets see, wallet had all of my credit/bank cards, $200, most of my ID, and some receipts. My palm is probably worth $600 new, and contains every little detail about my entire life. Including where I'm going to be every 10 minutes for the next month, as well as every detail about my identity (they'd have to dig deep for that). Unencrypted info would include where I live, where I buy my food, what groceries I need, what music I listen to, what classes I have when and where, where I get my hair cut and when, and basically what I've done every single day for the past year and a half. That's kinda scary.

So now I'm stuck without any money or any way to get money, no ID, and the guy who stole my crap knows everything about me. Oh and he has access to my building now. Hmmmmm....

This is especially frustrating because my stuff was taken out of the med student locker room in the hospital, which is only accessable through 2 doors. One door has a 5 digit numeric code, and the other you have to swipe your keycard to gain access. My 60-digit combo lock was also secured on the locker at the time. So it really doesn't get much more safe than that (you would think).

On the bright side (very dimmly lit side...) maybe I'll get a newer model palm pilot!!! That would be fun. I think maybe the Palm Tungsten T5.

Holidays in Victoria

Ahhhh I'm back in my room in Edmonton, after having spent 2 weeks with friends and family in Victoria. I definately needed a break -- just to relax and hang out with my girlfriend. We had lots of quiet evenings watching movies. I also had a couple of chances to drink with my buddies from highschool, which is always fun. For Carla's christmas present I bought her a digital camera, a Canon Digital Elph PowerShot SD200. I think she liked it!

I'm kinda sad to be home. My room is so small and the building is absolutely empty tonight. I've spent the past 2 weeks in a super busy huge house, with cousins (1, 2) and aunts and girlfriends everywhere! And to come home to absolutely silence is definately a change. The only person I can talk to is my blog :(

My only regret this holiday was not having a more spectacular New Year's. But that being said there really wasn't much going on in Victoria. All my friends were at other friend- of-a-friend-of- a-friend's parties, so Carla and I just hung out a my place playing video games and sleeping. I definately recommend playing GTA: San Andreas if you haven't already -- its amazing!!

I've decided as of this post to include more links in my posts, that should be fun.
