Current Mood: Alarmed & Flirtatious & Mischievous

I called the hospital yesterday and asked about my surgery. Apparently there has been a mix up. They thought that I’m leaving for exchange in January and therefore had postponed my surgery to next summer. So I explained that I’m leaving in early February and I’m prepared to have the surgery asap. So the nurse said that she’d talk to my doctor, see what they can do and call me today.

As the hours went by, I decided to call them instead. And due to the fact that the operating room doesn’t have any available dates until in April, unless cancellations occure before early January, we agreed that I’d have the surgery once I get back from my exchange. Which would be in late June or somewhere in July.

Now… How do I feel about this. I don’t really know… I know it takes off some of the bargain from my back. I’ve been really stressed with this school-exchange-surgery triangle the past couple of months. I do want to go to exchange, but it all depends on whether or not I get the required study credits before this semester ends and if I get to recover from surgery in time for the exchange. So now with the surgery out of the equation, I feel a bit relieved, but then again a bit sad. Now I have to keep going with my current condition which is that I can’t walk long distances without having pain in my leg, can’t go on my knees, can’t run and can’t bend it too much. Other than that, I’ll manage.

Now the question is whether or not I feel that I can manage in exchange with this condition… I’d say yes. As long as I remember, my health has been a bit fucked up whether or not it is my knee or my back. But one thing is for sure, I don’t complain about minor pain. It has to be something that would fucking put me down for a while (like 4 years ago my back did for 3 days)! And I sure am not going to start whining now! So I will carry on with this shit even if it’s the last thing I do! I will just need to be more careful! So F U pain! You can kiss my booty!

As for the studies. It’s up to me, that’s all. But giving my record on studies, I’m not the most hard working student there is even though there has been some definite progress during the past year. I am already working on some subjects I need to get done within a month and it really is up to me whether or not I will get the points required. As those points will determine if I will get my financial student aid for the exchange and that part is like 50% of total. So, studies… Anyone care help me?

As for the exchange. All papers have been delivered and I’m waiting for a confirmation from Comenius University in Bratislava. I don’t know how long it takes to know whether or not I’ve been accepted, but I’ve a good feeling about this

So that’s it for now. Suck your toe and call me Daigle!
