Overload...brain shutting down

i hate it when this happens...i had just written my blog only to have it disappear into cyberspace. Well, i was saying that "Wow, what a week"...it's been good, actually....even if i can't remember any specifics of what happened ;0)

Today I was, yet again, the patient/victim of my group's clinical skills session at McMaster's Emerg. Being a kinesiologist, i'm very comfortable walking around in shorts and a sports bra (that's how you examine patients for musculoskeletal injuries....just in case you thought otherwise...;0) and being pulled, yanked and shaken into any and every angle a joint can possibly go...except i don't quite enjoy having my extremities examined by two different ppl at the same time pulling in opposite directions...it feels weird. Then I tried to study about osteoporosis and hip fractures, but i was very distracted....then Aaron came over and bree, kels and I went into another of our routine 'deep' conversations...except i had to go play badminton with Mike, so who knows what kind of conclusions the 4 came up with....

Anyway, i can't wait till tutorial is over tommorrow, oh, but i have anatomy right after...then depending on how tired I am i'll either take a nap or go try out a new recipie...i wanna try this no-bake cheesecake dessert...if it works, i'll take it to Rog's birthday party.

Speaking of parties, it's gonna be crazy tomorrow. First at 6pm, we'll go and hear Dave's testimony for the 'I agree with Dave' campaign (pls pray for that!), then at 7:45pm we'll drop by our neighbour's party with cookies, then at 8pm we'll go to our med school friends' Halloween party (we have to come dressed up as something that starts with 'C'), then after, we'll head down to hang out with our College and Career friends over at Rog's place. I'll be exhausted by Friday night/Sat am.

But i figure, this is the life! Soon, when clerkship starts, instead of party crawling, I'll be dragging my oversized OR greens, bad hair and baggy eyes from patient to patient. I'm sure that'll have its fun of its own.

I have decided that I think too much about too many things...hence, 'overload'. So, as of 45mins ago, i have decided to institute a 24hr self-imposed ban on thinking. My goal for the next 24 hours is to take life as it is, go with the flow and stop thinking....enjoy each moment....I figure if catastophes happen, i'll just deal with it. I want to try out this 'clueless' life that men (most of them, at least) so effectively and efficiently live. And i'm even serious.

now i really have to sleep. Thanks Aaron and Arnold for your comments and insight. (btw, A-train, where are you? what are you up to? please email me at: schano@alumni.sfu.ca, k?)
love!
