I admit it. I'm a pretty good friend if I want to be!!! So, if I'm not willing to cross the ocean for you, chances are I don't want to be your good friend j/k.
Anyway, back to the story. There's a reason why I'm up at 1:41 am blogging in the middle of the night.
My friend AF (no, her name is not atrial fibrillation), calls me at 11 something pm tonight and asks me for a favour. Basically, she owns a pitbull, and Toronto Animal Services as well as Public Health want to put her dog down. She asked me to write her a letter (as a witness) that her dog is friendly towards my family and Willy. I say, "okay, I'll try my best... when do you need it?" Her: "I need it by tomorrow morning because my lawyer told me last minute that I need letters from people that have met my dog". Thanks for the short short notice... I really appreciate it.
So anyway, I wrote her the letter, even though I am pretty stressed right now. But, owning a pet, I know how distressed I would feel if something like that happened to me. People may wonder why I'm still doing intramurals and choir, when 4th year is insane. Well, first of all, I like to exercise. It's one way to make sure I don't turn morbidly obese when I'm stressed. Second of all, as a HCP, I think it's great to set a good example. How can you tell someone with hypertension to exercise 4-7x/week for 30 minutes when you don't exercise at all yourself. With regards to choir, I just can't help it that I love to sing. Also, if you haven't noticed, I'm not a quitter. These are responsibilities and obligations that I committed to, and I don't just 'shake things off' just because I'm busy.
When do you find time to study?? Well, I'm taking it out of my sleep time, duh!! And that letter writing came out of my sleep time too. Back to theRAPEutics..... but I think Health Systems might rape me more =(
