Hope, hope, hope!
The weather outside is frightful. End of sentence. It's cold and it's raining - hard. And of course, my orientation is today. So much for taking the bus! Yes, I am that much of a stick in the mud; if it means that my walk to the bus stop will be slightly uncomfortable, then I am taking a cab. Well, I'm definitely taking one home since the transport system in this city is hopeless after 6pm, but now I guess despite what I hoped, I will have to take one there.
Hopefully I get all my questions answered today. Mostly I have questions about immunizations, etc. I have all my immunizations, I even have the original forms to prove it. The only thing I can't prove is my Hep B series (which I know for a fact I have), but I can get a blood test to prove that. I also have to get a tuberculin skin test or some sort of chest x-ray. I'm planning on officially being in the nursing program by the end of the month so that I can register in actual nursing courses next month, and hopefully that won't all depend on getting my immunization record straightened out by then. Because tests take time, don't they? And I don't have that much time. Anyway like I said, these are questions I'm hoping to have answered today.
Johnny bought the baby a new toy the other day and he really seems to like it. Easy to grab, easy to chew - but most importantly, easy to grab :P I wish I could take the baby to orientation, but alas. Thankfully, my mother-in-law was able to drive in on short notice (she always babysits when I have exams) so I'm very grateful for that. Except she thinks she's only staying until Johnny gets home, which is a lie because Johnny actually has a board meeting at the condo association starting around the time my orientation ends. So she's gonna be here until I get home. Or all night.
Speaking of tonight - American Idol results! Am I the only one feeling really bad for David Cook? I still think he can win despite what Simon said. After all, Whitney won Top Model against all odds. I really wanted Whitney to win too, but I was absolutely sure Anya would get it. I guess Tyra decided they needed a plus-size model already. Yay for that! I know I'll be able to find out who wins before I get to watch tonight's episode - for some reason I only get the channels that air Idol really late, when I know that other channels (like the one I watched in Bonnyville) aired it at freaking 6 in the evening. So I think I'll just google the results when I get home so I'm braced for what's gonna happen. Because I really want David Cook to win. And if he doesn't, I'll just be crushed. Plus that means I'd have lost my bet, and I'd owe my sister David Archuleta's first CD. Not that I wouldn't buy his album myself and enjoy it very much. And not that David Cook isn't capable of getting his own record deal at this point. I just want him to win. Oh well. Here's hoping!
