This whole week from ten a.m. to two p.m. I have been keeping my phone right next to me. The psychologist from the Polytechnic entrance exam was supposed to call me and give me a detailed analysis (read: tell me what she thinks is wrong with me mentally) of all those personality tests and interviews I sat through that Monday. Well, she never called me, so now I need to leave her another phone call request. I will not leave her alone until she replies something, as she is about to discover. If she doesn't have time during the twenty hours I give during one week, she could at least tell me so. Then I could go to work as early as possible and do hours in, instead of staring at the phone hoping this will be the day she calls me.
Anyway, she had an opportunity to tell me why she thinks I wouldn't make a "wonderful" nurse. Yesterday, however, was the last day for me to deliver the paper of accepting or refusing the offered studying place; I decided to take the place and therefore her possible psychopath sentence will merely be a curiosity about me.

The Meme of the Day:
http://www.nightwish.com/fi/files/audio. It's only 2 more days until the new Nightwish album, 'Dark Passion Play', so take a look at the samples of three of the new songs: 'Amaranth' (will also come out as the second single), 'Master Passion Greed' and '7 Days to the Wolves' (this is the one I'm especially looking forward to, it sounds very epic). Here's the whole track list:
1. The Poet And The Pendulum
2. Bye Bye Beautiful
3. Amaranth
4. Cadence Of Her Last Breath
5. Master Passion Greed
6. Eva
7. Sahara
8. Whoever Brings The Night
9. For The Heart I Once Had
10. The Islander
11. Last Of The Wilds
12. 7 Days To The Wolves
13. Meadows Of Heaven
The Poe reference in 'The Poet and the Pendulum' is veeeeery nice (to the unenlightened, 'The Pit and the Pendulum' is a short story by Allan Edgar Poe who, by the way, looks disturbingly much like my father). Anyway, we are yet to discover how much of the story is present in the song. 'Bye Bye Beautiful', I believe, is a song about the Turunen turmoil. And it's always a good sign if there's a word unfamiliar to me in the song titles alone: according to Cambridge dictionary, 'cadence' means "a set of chords (= different notes played together) at the end of a piece of music".

Yeah, I suppose I can walk out if I feel like it, even though that would in turn make me feel like I'm a total failure. I guess what worries me the most is that the others will view me as not being fit for a nurse, that in their opinion I'm lacking some essential emotional qualities like empathy or something, something I can't learn from books if that should be true. Not to mention that one other who got in used to be on my class in junior high, the place I'd rather forget althogether. In the entrance exam I just pretended I have no idea who she is, but I doubt I can carry on now that we have to, again, share the same class room every week.
