I had "minor" surgery yesterday in which they only used local anesthesia. That was the part that hurt the most. I went in thinking that I wouldn't feel any pain at all, but nope.. injection of local anesthesia hurt like a *bleep*. It burns & stings like no other.. had about 7 injections of that, all of which hurt so much. The procedure after that just felt like tugging.. except for when the surgeon went a little bit outside of the scope of anesthetized area so that I could feel the pinching of the scissors. Yes, it hurt but I figured I'd just handle it.. until one time when he realllyyy went outside of the area and I had to yelp, to get the response of "You felt that?!" in a horrified manner & quickly resume to a professional "It will be done in a few minutes.. he's stitching you back up." and "It'll be pretty again" by the surgeon. It hurts like crazy right now, but I'll deal.
In happier news, I don't have to go in today to pick patients & do paperwork (which takes 22 hours, no lie, to complete) since I'm going to the Cath Lab tomorrow & Friday. However, I do have two exams on Monday that I have to study for (Pharmacology & Nurse-Client Relationships). Oh, fun times.
Boothing secretly on my friend's Macbook pt.. I dunno haha. :p
We're studying for a huge Med-Surg final we have next week. Sigh. So much to go over! But I'm still at the stage where I'm hopeful. We'll see how it goes. In the mean time, we're gonna go out to eat lunch. It's raining heaps today though (after it's been perfectly sunny the past few days). Why, hello to you too, Fall.

I wish you’d hold me when I turn my back
The less I give the more I get back
Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don’t have a choice but I still choose you
Oh I don’t love you but I always will

This song shreds me to pieces. It’s everything I feel about you. It’s a constant going back & forth between wanting you & wanting to hate you but knowing that no matter which it is between the two, you will always own the pieces of my heart that you’ve tread upon & be able to trace the trails of your fingerprints etched deep into my skin. I miss you, but I don’t want to.
I picked up my books today for Fall semester. I start on Monday. No, I'm not looking forward to it. However, I do know that I am determined to kick major arse.
I'm officially obsessed with "Ugly Betty".. yes, I realize I'm super late to hop on it, but I've been hooked on Hulu, trying to catch up to season 3. I'm currently on Season 1 still, but I'm working on it!
I absolutely love her character. She's dedicated, smart, sticks to her morals, trusts her gut, goes after what she wants, cares about her family, & knows how to balance reason with emotion. However, she gets prematurely judged by others because of her appearance. I can definitely relate to that, hah.

She wanted something else, something different, something more. Passion and romance perhaps, or maybe quiet conversations in candlelit rooms, or perhaps something as simple as not being second best.
