早上起床後悠閒地吃個早餐,之後便直接往北宜公路出發了。一路上路況相當的不錯,不知道是不是因為北宜高通車的關係,說不定以現在的路況,走北宜公路也不見得比北宜高慢到哪去。
從北宜公路上的一條小路可以拐到石碇去,這裡的車輛更少了,整條路就好像是我的一樣,沒騎多久就到了石碇的市區,看起來有點像老街的樣子,小小的一條,不過可能要等到下午人潮才會多起來,早上只有一兩個小攤販而已。
To cure sometimes, to relieve often, to comfort always.
Today we had a class about venipuncture and drawing blood. Sowhat was my partner, and we practiced on each other. Because we had practiced drawing on brachial vein in our third year, we decided to start on the vein of the back of the hand.
I tried first. I put on the gloves, tied the rubber tube, and sterilized the skin with the alcohol pad. All went well. But when I pushed the IV catheter into the skin, I couldn't find blood back through the catheter. I tried to change the direction of the needle, but it didn't work. Totally I tried two times and both were failed. I was so depressed. This technique is not as easy as I think. Sowhat tried two times on me and he failed either.
The next time, maybe I have to practice on the real patient. How can I not be nervous ?!
From now on, I formally become a clerk in VGHTPE. I have the staff card and the restaurant card, which means I can go to the staff restaurant for lunch and have 10% off in the Eslite Square.
In these days, in the classroom, I always fell asleep. Maybe it's because I had not got accustomed to the 8-hour-per-day classes. They made me so tired that yesterday I went to bed on 8 p.m. and got up on 6 a.m. this morning. I cannot image the future days. Will I get tired like a dog and lose my temper just like what I thought Kilo was two years ago?
Sigh… Some things need to be experienced before being realized.
07/09 UPDATE: I finally took the picture of my BB call. It is a little out-of-date to use a BB call in the hospital, because PHS may be a more convenient way to communicate. Well, according to this reason, it is worthier of taking a record of it, isn't it?
When I was a child, my father tought me how to collect stamps. I liked it very much at that time, and had done it for a period. My collection books are all at home, and I have many stamps in my drawer now. I'd like to rearrange the things in my drawer and put these stamps in a right place. So I used the coupons of Kingstone Bookstore I received several years ago to buy a new stamp collection book. Hmm… It looks great, isn't it?
This Saturday, there is a Chinese Music concert in Sing-Tian-Gong. Originally, I'd like to attend and I posted a message asking if anybody would like to go together. But something happened. Please forgive me not to tell what it exactly was. I think I can't attend this concert. What a pity. But I think there will be another chance to watch a free concert. It's ok.
During the period of my separation with Kilo, I read many articles about love. There is a good sentence that affact me very much. It says,
"Between a separated couple, the only thing to maintain is DEMEANOR, not CONTACT."
Because the other side knows you very much, maybe knows the most in the world. What you like, the most private of you, etc. You can not become the original status forever. So, maintain only the demeanor, no contact.
The postcard from Chengdu had arrived yesterday. It took about 8 days (06/05 – 06/13), more efficient than I thought. Depends on my experience, the letters deliver between Taiwan and mainland China always take 1 month. But this happened about 10 years ago. Maybe because the policy of Mini Three Links, the efficiency of mail delivery has been enhanced?
This afternoon, I cancelled my FETnet mobile phone number, because I have no need to own 2 numbers. It had accompanied me for 2 years and 2 months. It also saved me a lot of money in telephoning. Finally, it got its end. I don't know whether it is right or not, but I think it is a good time to do this.
Two days after I sent this postcard in Hong Kong, I received it today. How efficient it is. On the contrary, I sent another postcard in Jiuzhaigou about a week ago. It still doesn't arrive. Hmm… Let's see how much time it will take. I guess, ONE MONTH. :p
