I Is A Model

Just came back from a job interview and a photo shoot for the community newspaper. Boy, have I never more hated cheapo grease laden doughnuts. We had to pose with a few cheapo stuff in our bid for the Operation E-mail Krispy Kreme I helped start on Facebook. Those doughnuts that we had to hold were beyond disgusting. They leaked grease everywhere and when I was told to squish the doughnuts for the picture, the doughnuts were still intact after I did. Just a little misshapen but no breakages.

After that 15 minutes of photo taking, I must admit photo shoots are fun. Now I want to be a model…Haha

Anyways, it has been a long week so far. I finally finished writing my 200 page project and just going to write up the final project report to satisfy the unit coordinators and I’m done with the unit. Then, moving along to psychiatry and studying for the placement at Charlies. I am so looking forward to that!

Infrequent Update #2144

Well, suffice to say that I have been out of action for a while. I have my hands full trying to manage between studying for my psychiatry prac (I have an orientation file to read as well as the Sadock & Sadock book to go throu, not to mention my mental health and psychiatry unit notes to skim), finishing off my self-directed prac (which involves me writing the last lot of 50 pages for the banking task), finishing up my bible study book, and picking up and learning stuff for cell. In between that, I’ve got barely enough time to do things. But oh well, I like being busy rather than being bored.

I just got my hair coloured professionally and let’s put it this way: I LOVE it! Is that subtle enough? Unfortunately I can’t really capture the colours with my camera since most of it is at the back so it’ll be a while before pictures are up.

Gotta run now. Toodles!

Psyched

I got an e-mail from my supervisor over at SCGH this morning and it is been confirmed that I am in the psychiatry department. If you know me well enough, that was the department that I NEVER wanted to get placed in for several reasons. First was the fact that I am afraid of leading groups, especially groups for things that are not hard science: things with gray areas.

second of all, from the feedback I have heard over the past few months about the pracs at SCGH, I really wanted to be in either of the neuro wards, either neurosurgery or neurology. I wanted to experience the fast paced ward settings and where time flies by really fast.

I guess God has other plans for me. I’ve spoken to a few other people about the psychiatry ward and its not that bad so far. I heard that I have to do arts & craft with them and cooking tasks. and apparently I have to wear a durress alarm while working there. Joy joy. One of the consolations is that I don’t have to wear a uniform but rather smart casual clothes.

Well, that dampened my spirit a bit but I guess I’ll have to put up with it. I get to see people in their acute stages of their disorder which means I should buckle down and start reviewing my psychiatry and mental health unit. I still have the self-directed project to finish within these 3 weeks so I best get to it! Oh and I have decided to apply to be a carer at the nursing home as it is good money and I think it’ll be a good experience for me. Wish me luck!
