day 18

thursday morning came way too quick (like most my mornings in alaska) went into work and i went to my discharge planning meeting. shadowed people and researched patients in the morning. for lunch, Jenice took me to this hole in the wall chinese food place down the hill from the hospital. i had a halibut combo plate, it was quite tasty. then when i got back i looked into getting all the paperwork filled out that i needed to do and continued to look up patients. then we got an iv order for a banana bag soi got to make my first iv, it was pretty exciting. then before i knew it it was four fifteen and time for me to leave. trying to figure out stuff to do i went back to the apartment and chatted on facebook for awhile, watched the bachelorette and waited. brent said he could take me out to st. theresa's a church out the road with a gorgeous view but he had to lift and stuff first. so i went running and before i knew it it was 730 and conor(who was planning on doing sushi at seven thirty) told me no one else was going out to eat. i was starving and still had no food at my house so i angerily put on my rain boots and rain coat and grabbed my umbrella and started out on the three mile hike in the rain. along the way it never really rained superhard but i definately had wet pants once i got downtown an hour later. my friend brian the maintenance man told me i should go eat at jaded, the bar where megan's boyfriend adam works becuase they have 5 dollar appetizers. so i got the fried calamari and the chicken lettuce wraps. both of which were pretty great! there was a gentleman andlady friend down the bar from us and i asked josh is his name what i need to do before i leave town and he said i needed to check out tracy arm. an all day boat trip to these glaciers. and then i continued to question him on it, and he said that they go out tuesday through saturday and that he was going to ask and see if we could sneak on one. they are led by allen marine boats. josh took my number down and told me he would let me know. then i was trying to track down where everyone else went. by this time conor totally bailed and was not going out downtown. i ended up bar hopping i think all night until about 12 when conor came and picked me up and dropped me off at my apt.
