new layout & beginning of clinicals

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

It’s been a little over a year since I opened this domain so a new layout was in order. Starts off with Moby-Dick — god, I wanted to stab that book — and ends with my version of the ending credits of Woman in the Dunes.

I started clinicals last Wednesday. My instructor contacted me last Tuesday and I opted to start immediately. No sense in putting it off.

I’m pleased. It’s my first time on the clock in over three years because of my disability even if I’m not getting paid! The pharmacist is lovely and its privately owned so its the perfect start for me.

a couple of concerns

lockdown!

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

I got sent to a semi-lockdown (ok, ok, if you got near the doors you’d get tackled) because some dipshit therapist thought because of my past history I was a danger to myself. First visit, he’s asking my past history, a 1-10 scale of the likeliness I’d off myself (I give a 3, 10 is the likeliest). He tells me I need to be hospitalized despite the fact the day before my psychiatrist, who I’ve seen for years and years, didn’t feel I was in need of hospitalization.

I missed a day of school and my brain was ready to kill itself out of boredom. It’s not Girl, Interrupted in there, it’s dull. I never realized how dull it was before. Happy Mothers Day to my mom, I guess, I got put away for five days.

So today I’ve been studying and catching up and eating normal meals. The food in there is shudder-worthy and I missed out on three and a half days of study time.

I did indeed cancel the appointment the hospital made with the guy who got me locked up. I know I should have put up a fuss but he made it sound official (he’d call my mother and the hospital and whoever necessary to make sure I was there). Next time I’ll say unless the police have me in cuffs I’m not going to go in over completely garbage reasons like that. I was not going to do anything. He didn’t even ask me if I’d contract for safety. Ugh.
