2 More Hours

2 more hours before I go to the prep room and find out which case study determines which set of skills I have to demonstrate for my Neuro viva.

The last of the last.

2 more hours!

It’s Over

That dreaded Mental Health paper is over. Over and done with. Out of the way before going on to study for the neuro viva.

I’ll be really glad and relieved once it’s finished on Wednesday and we’re free to enjoy the summer for at least 4 months.

Another 40 hours to go before we’re freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! Finished with 3rd year and doing the pracs next year.

Haven’t done a list in so long so here’s the mandatory “Things to do during the holiday list”:
1. Clear out closet, get rid of clothes that make me look fat and ugly.
2. Go shopping to get new clothes to replace above mentioned clothes.
3. Work to pay for above mentioned clothes.
4. Find extra jobs to work at.
5. Start off with self-directed prac.
6. Walk the dog every day or every other day.
7. Have an extreme makeover so that when I see everyone for the summer I’m not a fat slob but looking trimmer and fitter. No, no plastic surgery involved only natural means thankyouverymuch.
8. Chillax for a while and catch up with friends who are still in Perth.
9. Give the house a spring clean.
10. Relax with the babes and attend the joint 21st.
11. Buy presents and dress for the above mentioned party.
12. Start planning for my 22nd birthday.

That’s all I’ve got for the time being. I just need to get over the half an hour of neuro viva and I’ve completed 3rd year! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Nerdy Back

Nerdy Back - created by Kirksman and yours truly
(I’m sure you can figure out which song this is to be sung to)

I’m bringing nerdy back
Them other girls, don’t know how to nerd
I think its special, what’s inside your book
So turn the page, and read the next word
Take it to the words

Dirty babe,
I see them numbers all around your page
I think it’s sexy, the way you flip that page
It’s just that no book makes me feel this way
Take it to the sentence

Come here book
Go ahead, be gone with it
Come to the back
Go ahead, be gone with it
VIP
Go ahead, be gone with it
Books on me
Go ahead, be gone with it
Let me see what you’re reading now
Go ahead, be gone with it
Look at those words
Go ahead, be gone with it
You make me smile
Go ahead, be gone with it
Go ahead girl
Go ahead, be gone with it
And get your nerdy on
Go ahead, be gone with it

Get your nerdy on
Go ahead, be gone with it
(Repeat 6 times)

Get your nerdy on

I’m bringing nerdy back
Them other readers don’t know how to act
Come let me study for the things you lack
‘Cause you’re nerding up I gotta get it fast

Take it to the words

I’m bringing nerdy back
You other readers watch how I attack
If that’s your book you better watch your back
Cause I’ll read it up for me and that’s a fact

Take ‘em to the chorus

Kris is bringing nerdy back!

Two More

Just one more paper and one oral exam.

And I do not have to take another exam for a long while.

Off to Greg and Justin’s dinner with Jolene and Aunty.

Walk and Dinner

OKlah, I admit I’m a little on the fat side…..So I went for a walk today sort of as a endorphine boost since I was did 4 iLectures today, which meant I was practically glued to the computer for roughly 8 hours today. I tell you these lectures are a torture. Real pain in the ass to go and watch them, but 12 iLecures later, 24 hours of pain later, half a file of notes later, I triumphed against it. Not that I sat for my exam yet, but I finished studying a major part of the unit, just have to go thru the Mental Health Act and then thru my tute notes and readings and be done with this unit once and for all.

Jolene came back from Melbourne for the weekend and we had massive plateful of sheep’s cheese and fruits and I had half a glass of red wine. I think I feel much better than I did when I was watching the iLectures from 10am till 6pm today. Now I’ve gotta read a little bit and as a reward (Hah!) I’m going to read my neuro case studies. Not that its much of a reward or anything but I still have to watch those DVDs of the neurophysical and the hemiparesis of the shoulder etc.

The viva exam questions are definitely much easier than last year’s rehab once. Don’t think passing that one is much of a problem, already passed the unit, just have to pass this to technically pass the unit.

Hatred

I absolutely hate doing the mental health unit.

It is absolutely a PAIN to sit here, trying to do 12 2 hour lectures, taking 4 hours to do each.

ARGHHHHHHHHH

@$%@$%#$%@$%!@$%!#@%

I can feel the vein in my head throbbing. I does not help that I’ve only had 4 hours of sleep plus the 15 minute nap I took at Ange’s place this arvo, giving me a grand total of 4 hours and 15 minutes of sleep in the past 24 hours or so. I’m cranky, I’m tired, I’m just plain annoyed. Not to mention pissy as well.

Sporadic Update #3

It’s Wednesday and I’ve done 5 2 hour lectures, and working on my 6th one now. It’s painful listening to them since I know that I do not want to go into this field but just have to pass this exam to get thru this hurdle.

Update on my self-directed prac: I’ve been approved to contact the coordinator at Royal Perth Hospital and now am waiting on Nigel to reply to my partner regarding the project we’ll be doing together. I’m more excited about that than I am about finishing the exams. I suppose its finally something that I have some control over and I can decide what I’m going to research on and how things are going to be done.

Been subscribing to the Dictionary.com for the word of the day thing as well, since I think my vocabulary needs a bit of a boost. The word of the day for yesterday was perfervid. Your duty is to go look it up….Hahahah….I am mean. Now I’m sure you’re itching to go find out what it means, right?

Anyhoo….Another thing happening is that Lin gave me the Justin Timberlake FutureSex/Love Show program filled with pictures of Justin and the set list in them. Admittedly I’m short of time, so I only managed to take one picture of it so far but trust me there will be many more from where that came from

So enjoy this and hopefully this will knock me back into study mode for today! I’m bringing nerdy back!

Sporadic Update #2

*sniff sniff*

I smell instant noodles and I’m hungry…..Man….I just ate like a tuna sandwich with cheese and an apple after that and I’m still hungry >.<

*Chants to self*

Cannot eat, cannot eat, cannot eat

*Finishes chant*

Its like 30 degrees today and its seriously scary. Last night it was cold enough to warrant the thick comforter, but when I woke up it was hot enough to kick everything off. Its going to be 36 degrees tomorrow and 37 degrees on Monday. I’m definitely hiding in doors as much as possible on Monday cause I’ve got the voc rehab exam and then Linny poo is giving me the JT souvenir she bought for me yesterday at the concert! I love that girl to death man.

However much I admit to loving Justin Timberlake (our baby, Cheryl :P), I did not go to the concert last night and I’m not going tonight. I know, I know. I am the BIGGEST fan, everyone else only got into him cause he was coming to Perth but I had been a fan since I was 13, so beat that! Hah!

Anyway, my point being that since this semester’s exams are the last of my life, I would rather miss out on watching the concerts and put in my efforts into the papers and then a few years down the track I’m going to buy me a plane ticket and a concert ticket and go and watch him in concert once. It is painful to see lots of people go and watch his concert but no matter, I shall one day watch one of his concerts.

To my surprise, I’ve actually finished studying for the exam on Monday. I feel rather stoked, seeing that I stayed at the Med Library till 11pm last night to study. Was there with Celena at first but then she had to go off so I went for dinner with Cheryl, JY, Ben and Stan. Ended up at Broadway for dinner and then Ti Amo’s for very potent coffee and cake. I tell you I literally only slept for like 5 hours and then woke up to do my self-directed project. At 5.30am….

I wonder why my sanity has gone to.

To cut a long story short, I’m not feeling stressed, just peckish with food and wanting this exam period to be over so I can enjoy myself at the beach and have dinner with the babes and go look for the summer jobs! Oh, not to mention the project overview, proposals, meetings, interviews etc.

And the best part for this sem: I AM NOT WORKING FOR 2 WEEKS! I haven’t had a day off in a while and I’m relishing the fact that I’m in front of the comp, with so much done for studying and feeling rather smug

Oh and for people from Malaysia reading, we are 1 hour ahead! So your 9am is our 10am now!

Goodbye till I decide to come back with another sporadic update.

Sporadic Update #1

Things accomplished thus far, Wednesday, 7th November 2007, 1.54pm:

1. Finished the marathon iLecture watching off all but 3 voc rehab iLectures.
2. Reviewed the Worker’s Compensation Legislation partially. I feel like a lawyer already with all the terminology and having to know court ettiquette.

I feel slightly better after watching nearly 14 hours worth of lectures and made a ton of notes and done some readings. I think I’m going to get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome soon

Exams Fever

Well, the exam season has settled itself amongst students in Perth. So hence, I’ll be AWOL for a while studying up for voc rehab, mental health and neuro.

Prayer requests:
1. That I do not pick a hard case study for neuro
2. That I do not mess up my neuro exam
3. That I stay well for the whole duration of the exams
4. Everyone else does well in exams!

I’m going all out for this one, last one for my life and I’m good as done!

So if anyone sees me on Facebook lingering and doing mad quizzes or anything like that, please tell me to butt off and continue watching the iLectures.

All the best everyone!!
