Sandy Days

Today didn’t start out to good, but the day became much better as it got by. I had a full on day today, starting off with clinical medicine lecture at 8am-9am (which I didn’t go for, will explain in a bit), rehab lab 2 from 9am-11am, gerontology lab from 11am-12.30pm and gerontology lecture from 1pm-2pm. How I survived that all in a row, I don’t know.

One thing I do know is how I survived the rest of the day.

The day started at 6am like usual, but due to the next door neighbour’s handy man powers, I didn’t get much sleep yesterday. This morning it was the kids screaming next door. Sometimes I don’t know how I manage to sleep thru things, and this is one time where I do indeed want to sleep thru the commotion.

That would explain why I couldn’t get out of bed for my 8am lecture. I was exhausted to the core.

After 2pm, Zaneta picked me up from uni and we sat in the car, thinking about where to go. Being such a nice sunny day, I thought we’d go to the beach somewhere and catch some good sun rays. Turns out she had the same thoughts too

So off to Cottesloe beach we drove to. First making stops at the grocery store to get some impromptu beach picnic sort of food, sunscreen and a disposable camera, since both of us so happened to leave our cameras home (Note to self: ALWAYS bring camera EVERYWHERE you go!)

Anyways, both Ariane and Vi joined us after that and we all went all crazy with the picture taking and the crazy spitting of sand from our mouths I couldn’t describe in words if I wanted to. It was such a glorious day. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and today definitely took some stress away and kept my mind a little more relaxed after the 2 crazy weeks I’ve had at uni with exams and assignments.

The pictures we took really says everything. Now I can’t wait to get the pictures from Ariane and Zaneta!! Wheee!!

I’ve gotten myself an honours application form and I’ve spoken to Heather a bit about it and I’ve decided to apply for it, just in case I might get it. Knowing that only 8 people in the year can do the honours programme is a bit intimidating, but at the same time its challenging and makes me want to go for it even more.

I’ve had doubts with my abilities, but I think I’ll try for it. No harm with trying anyway.

Here’s to hoping something good comes out of this!
