EDIT: I honestly feel like puking right now from the stress.
So after dry lab exam yesterday, I can say that I felt a relief, a huge burden off my shoulders. I got my marks from the exam yesterday, so I’ve got a rough idea on how much I need to pass the Anatomy unit. Not that I’m aiming to scrape through again, but its sort of like a safety net for me.
I’m dealing with my rehab assignment now, and to tell the truth, I hate rehab. I know I should keep my options open, but I can safely say that I NEVER want to go into the rehab sector of OT. First of all, I understand nuts about treatment plans and what OT has to offer in this sector. After all that slaving on that assignment, honestly I can tell you I learnt nothing.
Having to deal with a lecturer that is somewhat incompetent in what she does is a little demoralising when you think about it. I come to learn what rehab involves, and next thing I know, I’m learning how to read house plans and trying to become an amateur architect. I absolutely hate this unit. Even more than I hated the psychiatry unit last semester. At least I knew what I was talking about.
Back to the rehab assignment. I have done literally 50% of it. It’s now 10 am and this freaking thing is due at 2 pm today. As you most probably can tell by now, I’ve been having lack of sleep and stressed to the point where I’m ready to snap at anybody who annoys me.
In reality, I’m a very nice girl. Stress just turns me very ugly.
I slept at 12 am this morning and woke up at 6 am to get to uni on time to register for my VIVA exam at 8 am today. Thankfully I’ve got the 1.55 pm slot on the last day. I’m happy for that. At least I’ve got time to study after I finish my anatomy exam. Speaking of which, I have a wet leb exam on Wednesday, for which I haven’t studied for. Right now, all I’m looking forward to is to get this stupid rehab assignment over and done with.
After 2 pm today, I’m a partially free woman. Free from rehab assignment, but I’ve gotta focus my energies on the gero assignment after that which is due at 2 pm tomorrow. Sometimes I wonder if they do this to stress up till be blow up or they are oblivious that we students need sleep and need to eat as well.
With gerontology, that’s also another issue altogether. I’m not going to go into aged care when I graduate. No way. Though the pay is one of the highest in the industry, I’d rather be an ergonomist and do the thing that I love most. Ergonomics. Either that or pediatrics would be another option.
I definitely need to get back to my assignment. 4 hours till its due and I certainly do not want to fail this unit. Have to pass the freaking VIVA this year to pass this unit. Stoooooopid. There are just so many things I have to complain about this unit. Which is a definitely a story for another time.
Today’s weather is so lovely! A nice tropical 26 degrees and I’m stuck in a 22 degree air-conditioned room starring at the bloody computer screen trying to get my head around things. I’ve technically finished the assignment, but I’m waiting for Emma to come to uni to put together the group part and finalise the thing to be able to submit it in. I’m glad I’ve finished my part, albeit not very much effort has gone into it. But enough has gone into it to make me sick and tired of it already.
P/S: Zaneta, hope you’re surviving your week as well! I definitely hope to see you for some down time next week
