作息
病理部的課程很輕鬆,早上沒有很早的 meeting,下午通常也只要兩點到就可以,所以整個禮拜過著一種輕鬆悠閒的感覺,早上到員工餐廳吃早餐時,總是遇不到什麼同學。
To cure sometimes, to relieve often, to comfort always.
Someone complained about seeing a clerk or intern wearing his white coat goint to the market. I know the man he mentioned is not me, but I usually wore my white coat even if I left the hospital.
The reason I did this is my laziness. I didn't want to take a coat in my hand. I also didn't want to put it in my bag, because it would get wrinkled. But that guy said the white coat may be dirty, a lot of pathogens on it, and it may risk other people. I didn't think of that before.
It seems a big problem, and maybe some people got affected. Hmm… I have to change my behavior from now on.
This week I was in Department of Pathology. We had to do venipuncture and blood sampling on real patients. This is my first time to do this.
I was a little nervous when I stood behind the technician watching, but I felt relaxed after a successful puncture. "It's not as hard as I thought." I murmured. But luckiness was not always with me. I failed on the 4th patient. Thanks to the technician. She took over the needle and didn't make the patient angry about my fault. I didn't feel much depressed. I knew before I become skilled, I must experience a lot of failure.
On Tuesday, I totally punctured about 15 to 20 patients. Tomorrow I will have another chance. Hope I could do better. This is a good news for both the patient and I. :p
After beginning my clerk course, I have been in the hospital for long time a day. I couldn't take my notebook because of its weight and the posibility of being stolen. Some of my classmates bought USB flash drives. I remembered Portable Firefox and thought maybe it is a good solution for me.
For several days trying, it's convenient. I had many good extensions installed and made the library’s computer just like what I am accustomed to. But there is a new problem. I found the startup is very slow. I always had to wait more than 2 minutes before I started using it. I don't know why. There is no discussion on the forum. I thought it may because the low speed of the SD card or the USB drive. The speed test (by HD Tune) shows the average is 3.5 MB/s. But strangely, Portable OOo and Portable Gaim work well.
Before I find the solution, I can copy the whole directory of PFF to the hard disc before using, but it's a little inconvenient. >_<
Artist is one of my favorite songs of backQuarter. Tonight, while listening to it, I tried to find out the chords…
A D D E > 金魚心中渴望著池塘 但現實裝滿水族箱 The goldfish yearns for the pool in mind, but the aquarium is full of reality. A D D E > 泛黃樹葉離開了枝頭 回頭望著驕傲和朦朧 The withered leaf left the treetop, looking back at the prouds and dusk. Bm E A Fm# > 漂蕩未知路程 吞下沿路冷漠 餵飽 身上空動 Drifting on the unknown way, swallowing the unconcern on the way. The empty is fed up. Bm D E E > 假裝堅強 撐住殘破執著 Pretend to be strong. Prop up the broken insistence. A D D E > 黑色翅膀最後的飛翔 梵谷割下他的耳朵 The black wings fly for the last time. Van Gogh cut his ear. A D D E > 不為人知就站在角落 調色盤上承受孤獨 He stood at the corner without anyone knew, sustaining the loneliness on the palette. Bm E A Fm# > 手上那張地圖 缺少任何依賴 明天 還會迷路 Holding the map, withoug any dependence, tomorrow, still got lost. Bm E A Fm# > 那兒有堵高牆 就擋在前方 用力跨越 我的步伐 There was a high wall blocking in front. Strides across, my steps. Bm C > 遍體鱗傷 付出代價 Got black and blue all over. Paid for it. D Fm# G Gm D > 原諒 我無法自拔 親愛的妳 是否聽見這首歌 Forgive me. I cannot extricate myself. My dear, do you hear the song? D Fm# G Gm D > 原諒 我無法自拔 縱使面對 夕陽染紅了路途 Forgive me. I cannot extricate myself. Even I face it, the sunset makes the road red.
It's very unbelievable. Two weeks ago, I couldn't swim using front crawl more than 50m, but today I extended the distance to 1000m. I did it!
When I had learned swimming in my childhood, I didn't like front crawl because it made me exhausted and out of breath. I easily got tired even I tried to relax more under the water. But last week, I suddenly found I was not so tired as before. I broke through 100m easily, and on the second round, I tried 400m and succeed. Today, after a 300m breaststroke warm-up, I tried 1000m. Yeah, it's not as difficult as I thought before.
Although my speed was very slow, a girl beside went 1.5 fold faster, I didn't care very much. I have progressed. I believe I can swim as fast as her if I keep practicing. Maybe someday I can cross Sun Moon Lake with front crawl.
But I got a new problem. The water always goes into my nostrils and makes me allergic. Hmm… I must find some methods to prevent this.
Because of the greed of getting a Pro account, I signed up in Zooomr and uploaded a photo, which is the same with the Jia-Ming Lake. Hmmm… Let's see when I could get the Pro account.
From June 29 to July 1, I went to Jia-Ming Lake, a meteorite lake on the Southern Cross-island Highway. I am still very impressed by its beauty till now. I wrote a diary (in Chinese) about that trip:
