Just caught two adults making out in the elevator at my hotel.
Win.
Like a good Canadian, I offered to take a different elevator.
Like embarassed people, they tried to pretend they couldn't figure out how to work the key card to access their floor. Riiiiiigggghhhhhhtttt.
They were making out. Good for them. I'm smiling about it this very moment.
About the hotel: I'm in Saskatoon for the night. Have two days off and spur of the moment decided to go to Yorkton. Sure, Yorkton is not Saskatoon, but the first turned into the second when the first didn't have much to offer in the way of over-the-door hangars, Wiis and scrub shops. The second has provided much success in the way of amusement and functionality. I've got my over-the-door hangars, and I'm on the path to finding a scrub shop and I think I've talked myself out of buying a Wii. For now.
Swan River has been wonderful, though without internet at home yet. Work has been incredibly supportive. I, like every new nursing graduate (I presume), am struggling to build my confidence in my practice. I'm finding it hard to break away from asking questions, deferring to authority and doubting myself. I feel like a punk-ass nurse. More and more, I'm trying to go home at the end of the day, look stuff up in my MedSurg text (and mourn over having somehow not brought my Potter & Perry) and chill out about the day. I don't know everything. I almost certainly never will. But I'll un-cheesily be the best I can be.
Enough of that though, I'm on days off. Woot!
Have great apartment by the way. Cozy little two bedroom near the Tim Horton's (PRIME location in my opinion) that costs me less than half of what a similar place in Calgary might cost. Certainly less than half of what it would be in Toronto. But that's part of what I moved to Swan River for. Part of the overall picture. Low living expenses. I'm also telling you all this to shove it in your faces. Then again, you'll just counter me with stories of multi-screen movie theatres, the ballet, people everywhere, and sushi. Don't forget Starbucks. Or rather, easy access to all aforementioned privileges.

Whatever City-People. I'm in the country now, and it suits me well. I don't need to show you how awesome it is, cause I'm LIVIN' it!
I don't know why livin' is capitalized. Or missing a g.
Either way, this fresh-nurse is going to enjoy her night in Saskatoon, the ability to hang her towel up after a shower, and (hopefully) revel in the delight of new scrubs.
Till I have internet or steal it...
YOU DON'T HAVE STARBUCKS?
ReplyDeleteMy head just exploded.
I'm glad to hear about your cute two-beddy. I have to disagree with your assertion that you don't have to show me how awesome it is, though. I want pictures.
