weird happenstances....

i am not sure why, but this past week was a long one. i worked and got overtime..oops, but again we are short a person, so company can't complain too much. esp since they wouldn't hire a replacement for the person we took from another department. whatever. anyway. it was just a long week. i didn't get to see zach on wednesday like i have been getting used to. his honda is having some issues. i think that may have been a huge factor in the week being long. it wasn't broken up into smaller sections that i get to spend time with zach. on the flip side and a much happier note....i got my massage table wednesday. and then i am back on a downer....i yelled at my anatomy teacher on thursday.
we had lab (cadaver lab) on thursday. i was really looking forward to it because we have been talking about muscles and more specifically the muscles of the thorax (your neck to hips) region of the body. we were all told before we ever went to lab, (keep in mind we have already been once) that no pictures, cell phones, gum, food, or anything like that are allowed in the classrooms, as well as lab. there were so many people taking pictures with their cell phones before class started. i may need to mention we walked into the classroom at the U and there were 4 bodies on the tables. they were covered as they should be until viewing and instruction. but yet people were still snapping away. i politely reminded them that they weren't supposed to do this. most of them put the cell phones away.
one girl, (yes it is one in the same that has bugged me since day one....chews gum loudly, talks when it is time to learn, interrupts, cell phone rings/vibrates on desk in class, etc...)didn't put her phone away. instead at each station she was taking pictures and sending them to her friends. i looked at her a few times and glared. no one else said anything. the poor student teacher we had from the university didn't want to be mean or we just made her nervous. finally another student went and told our teacher's aide that the girl was taking picutres and sending them. the TA told her to put her phone away...she didn't. then her phone rang.
i lost it and snapped at the girl. then walked over to the next section of lab. after class, there was a different student talking to our teacher about what happened in class. overhearing the conversation, i marched up to the front of the classroom to give my side of the story. this other girl and i got into a bit of an argument. you all know me...i really don't like getting mad, and when i actually feel strongly about something, i start crying. and i was bawling, so i turned around after yelling at the teacher and marched out. well, the one student who told the teacher's aide, quickly caught up to me and we talked for a minute. then as we were talking, two other students came over and told me they were glad i said something to the girl. they also said that they would gladly defend me and give what they saw to the teacher as well. i got calmed down a bit and thanked them. then i got to my jeep and called zach. that's when i really broke down and was sobbing...i had just yelled at my teacher..what was i thinking. zach was so sweet, he got in his honda to come up and hold me while i cried. he got me to make sense with words, so i was able to drive myself back to ogden. i called my teacher friday and apologized. he didn't answer the phone, so i had to leave a message.
friday i didn't work long. i could only get 4 hours before i had overtime. i found out today i still got overtime. oops. anyways, i got done with work, did my laundry, and drove down to provo to spend the weekend with my zacharoo. it was soooo good to get a hug from zach, esp after the week i had just had. it was a great weekend. too short, but still great. i didn't want to leave. in fact, i almost started crying when i finally did start heading back up to ogden. when i got back to my place, i had quite a shock. erin's car window was smashed in. i looked down the street and saw two more cars with the windows smashed in. upon further investigation today, and police, we believe it was a drive by shooting. SCARY!!! it happened some time between 11pm and 1am. 3 cars in our neighborhood got hit. more got hit elsewhere, ie roy, and other davis county places. i am not sure if they are all connected. i am just a bit scared in my apartment. it's all crazy. well, i've got to run to class now. i'll try and stay up to date better.
