I have now become one of those girls I have also promised myself I wouldn’t become.

I have taken to attaching a bracelet with bells to my new USB. Because I lost my USB last week, I’ve attached the only thing with bells that I own to my new and precious USB. The things I do to p rotect my precious assignments and research and stuff…..Bah
OK, I admit I got that bracelet when I was 16 and it was all in the trend to go get bracelets with names on them and with bells and such. I wasn’t ever a big fan of bells or anything that made noise just cause I thought it was silly and an unnecessary attention grabbing piece of ornament that some girls like to attach to their things.
I’ve seen people attach keychains bigger than their mobile phone to their mobile phones. One of the more prominent and ridiculous things I saw was the one where this girl had this tiny mobile and she attached this hot pink feather keychain to the thing. Think Barbie-ish hot pink. All of this, witnessed at the uni cafe where I would say the mean age would be in their 20s. Everything about the girl screamed sophistication. Except the monstrocity of the phone. She had all the name brand bags and accessories and really pretty clothes, but a mobile phone accessory of a 10 year old.
OK, enough about me ranting about some random person at uni.
Over the weekend it was Aunty’s birthday so we went out for breakfast as a celebration because she was flying off to Melbourne that afternoon. Before that, we went to the laundrobar (fancy term for laundromat) round the corner from us and I tell you I love that place!
For starters the dryer drum is massive enough to crawl in there and sit happily while reading a book, minus the lights of course. And the clothes that come out of the dryer are like super warm and it feels so nice to just pull out freshly dried clothes from the thing and then do laundry. Makes laundry time a little less boring now 
Then again, the only thing to remember is never to put in clothes that might shrink in the dryer, or else you’d end up with clothes that look like it belongs to a baby
I can feel my stomach grumbling for food right now as my brain is using all the glucose while writing up my Mental Health group report. I tell you this report is driving me nuts. First I was so rajin to go start the thing and then I go lose my USB, now I’ve got a new USB (which looks just glam btw) and I can’t think of what to write. Damn this Murphy’s Law.
I was just curious to know what my IQ is 
And, turns out that I have an IQ of 131. Wonder how reliable and valid these online tests are though. Although my ego probably is inflated by now

OK I’m off to bed till 3am cause my butt hurts and so does my head and this ain’t doing me any good at all so I’ll wake up at 4am or 5am to study for my rehab and fix my other presentation slides and figure out what I’m going to present for 2 presentations
Title sums it all up, but done with the handout for childhood presentation and now going to research bits and pieces for the presentation and after that its going to be research presentation and then sleep, studying rehab will be done at 5am till 10am so pray I get thru this.
OK, I’ve got a strategy to stay awake all night tonight, I’ve decided to update my blog every hour. But the catch is, that it has to be a one sentences update only.
So my update for this hour:
I’m feeling a little better after the shower, thus the headache isn’t so bad and now I’ve got to get started on my things, with finishing the childhood slides and handout first.
I seriously don’t get how we’re meant to do the assignments for the rehab unit. It just doesn’t make sense. There is no detailed guidelines and we’re just meant to write what we think is right and basically pray for the best.
I’ve got a funny feeling in my tummy right now and it ain’t the feeling of finishing the pack of M&Ms at one go. It’s a feeling of butterflies when I’m stressed and my flight reaction is kicking in. Next, I’ll be pulling off a Kristine Moment and doing something crazy. I smell it in the air now (not literally la of course, I know I’m good but I’m not mental).
I just feel lost for this unit, there are so many things we’re meant to do and we don’t know what to do. I know being in 3rd year, they expect us to have more experience and they’re treating us like professionals. But in all seriousness, we have not done clinicals yet and we have no idea what it looks like in a real setting. There always is a theory-practice divide and the divide for OT now is massive. We apparently know the theoretical stuff but we haven’t got a chance to put it into practice yet. This is driving me insane as we’re just regurgitating things out without really knowing how to apply them to the context.
Euhin asked me a very good question today, “Do you see yourself as an OT?”
Very promptly I told him I do not. It’s just because instead of the voluntary fieldwork thing we had last year, I got sent off on a 2 hour lecture in Freo to hear about an OTs role in self management of COPD and CVD. I have not met a client/patient/whatever the term is nowadays and I’m beginning to feel the real need to go out and meet someone and try my OT skills on them. Then there is also the matter of not being able to practice OT if I’m not registered and also the issue about not being able to work without a PR.
So many things on my mind and it really is wearing me down to the bone. I think I think too much about things that I really shouldn’t be thinking too much off. I have a habit of over analysing things and sometimes it drives me to my wit’s end. It’s not even 9pm and I think I’m burnt out for the night. I need someone to talk to. Sigh.
I’m back from dim sum lunch and karaoke. Lunch was yummy, though I do miss the siu mai 
Somehow the waitresses said that they were coming but they didn’t, so I had to settle for other stuff. Meh. Anyway, went for karaoke after lunch. That was quite an experience! Not being able to read Chinese definitely has its drawbacks as I can’t read those characters and sing I’m so going to learn chinese. Maybe that can be one more of my life goals to do by the time I’m 25. Anybody can teach me Chinese? Pretty please?
Anyhow, I’ve started the OT 403 assignment and I’ve done 1 annotation so far. I’ve got at least another 14 articles to read and 14 annotations to do, not to mention everything else along with it. I seriously am going to go with a lot less sleep than I usually do cause of the uni workload. Oh well, at least I’m trying my best to excel and to earn that PDA phone from my brother
For those who know me well enough, you can probably tell by now that I’ve started doing my assignments and I have started the procrastination usually associated with them. So if you’re bored like me and want to read and know me more, then go ahead. If not, there is always the lil ‘x’ button on the top right hand corner of your screen
