Smarty Pants
Random question: Why do people call it smarty pants when supposedly smart people have better brains?
Thinking back on yesterday’s VIVA exam for rehab, I cringe in pain from all the stupid things I did. Now it definitely a time when I wish I am a smarty pants.
I’m looking forward to this Wednesday when I finish and we can go wild and crazy after clin med exam. I’m not so worried for that paper cause I need only 4 marks to pass so I can read the stuff a bit later after I finish my gerontology study.
And after reading yesterday’s news on OASIS (Curtin’s student portal) where the girl jumped off the bridge, it struck me as scary. Well duH you might say. But to think that someone had gotten so close to the ledge and actually jumped off just deadens me (no pun intended).
I read somewhere that when a person goes thru the suicide, a majority of them don’t want to die, but sadly most do. So when that girl was jumping off the bridge, she must have been thinking that she didn’t want to die, but the place she picked was rather high, so sad to say, her suicide attempt became a reality. This is assuming that she really committed suicide and wasn’t pushed off.
The uni accidentally realised her name yesterday and I couldn’t help but think that name sounds very familiar. Might be one of my friend’s ex-housemate or something. Will have to ask her when I next see her.
Anyway, I should really be hauling my butt to studying gerontology. Then clin med and then start planning stuff for next year as I need to find that OTA job and definitely start planning for my career. This is scary. I’m now a woman in my 20s.

merv: i suppose all of us feel like suicide was an option at one time or another. i recall feeling so down tht the scissors in front of me looked like a real good option to end it all.
scary when i look back at the time and remember what made me think like tht
