it's official!... or is it?

hello! :]

One significant thing that happened during orientation today: we received our photo id! i feel all professional now. hahaha, it's like getting handed your diploma... it's official! it even says REGISTERED NURSE! ...yeah... let's not celebrate that until we find out for sure. -_- but heres a pic of it! it was printed kind of...un-centered but i'll get over it i think. i'm a perfectionist about these type of things... if it were up to me, i would reprint one until it was perfectly centered >__<

i was so sleepy during orientation all day. i was just looking forward to crawling back into my bed. but as i was walking home from the hospital, i was thinking about the weather and i realized something. it's July and i'm used to it being SUPER HOT and i realized that if i was walking the same distance at home in California right now... i would probably be sweating and so uncomfortable. but today, it was mild, some barely light rain and in the 70's and i wasn't cold and wasn't hot... and it was actually really comfortable walking home in this weather. so i'm starting to appreciate the weather here and like it for what it is. i swear, everywhere i go, i slowly realize how blessed California is with its amazing weather but in some small ways i start to appreciate the different weather i experience in other places.

tomorrow's my day off and i'm working friday and saturday. i'm going to dim sum (YESSSSSSSSSSS!) tomorrow morning with Uncle Dennis and Uncle William (two of my dad's bffs) and hopefully it won't be too awkward. i'll probably go to Ikea with Jen to pick up some things... and i'll have to do some reading and prepare for my first shift. dear god, i hope i can fall asleep the night before...

so i've been hanging out with Chelsea and Jen (both girls I graduated with from college) and we've been having some fun when we have time to get together. hehe i can tell we're going to have many more adventures to come.  i'm glad i have these girls here ... we have a special Mac bond because we know exactly what each other went through the past 4 years to get to where we are now... so we can be each other supports here :) here we are at kitsilano beach trying to spell MAC haha. also please note my latest summer dress that i LOOOOOOOOVE. yes, love. it was the last one, EVER from the warehouse. <3 

well that's it for today! 1 more day......
