I actually like studying for Substance Abuse

You know, even though Hell is upon us --> See my post-it on Facebook, or see below, studying for my first midterm (Alcohol and Substance Abuse Disorders) is actually interesting and useful. I can apply this to practice, and it's good general knowledge as well. After going through this in other courses (eg. PCL 361), now I know what Naltrexone, Naloxone, Methadone is for. Now, just because I like to study for this course, doesn't mean I'll do well on it... let's hope I do though :)

Living with other people - 2nd edition (Round 2)
The people this year are actually pretty good. Except for the periodic loud 'bass' downstairs, everyone is really quiet. I actually have no problems studying here =) I have 2 (soon to be 3) people from Vancouver, and 3 tenants from Hong Kong. We have two guys living in the house, which makes me feel a bit better. (If you recall the homeless man incident from last semester, you know why).

How are the girls on my floor?
Pretty good actually. As I mentioned, they're quiet. I got used to them leaving their stuff in the shower, I don't really care anymore. A couple of them left their dirty dishes in the sink overnight, but I set them straight :P The washrooms are generally pretty clean.

The only thing that kind of bugs me is that there is a girl that likes to take showers late at night (like I do). And, sometimes she gets the shower first.. and I end up having to stay up much LATER than I anticipated because I can't stand sleeping with the feeling of being dirty. She takes like... 40 minute showers. Seriously, who takes showers that long?? Even when I end up washing my hair, I take 20 minutes max. If it's just a regular shower, give me 10 minutes. And I'm not one of those girls that uses a gazillion moisturizers either, maybe that's why. Anyway, back to the girl. She ends up going in at like 12am... maybe 12 something.. add in 40 minutes... I end up sleeping at 1 something, which explains my fatigue in class!

But I could take earlier showers, right? Well, I could... but I LOVE the "clean" feeling I get right after I shower.. and I'm used to that feeling right before I go to bed. Now, my plan is to steal the shower before she does :P

Drugs can numb your memory, impair your judgment and make it impossible to feel good or function without them. Even drugs that are not physically addictive--meaning that your body needs the drug in order to function-can make you emotionally dependent.
