Oh no! Belated rambling!
OK then, 2nd WEEK uni 06' started today!
So far, uni has been good, but right now i can feel the work starting to pile up, more of it and faster too. i find myself contemplating the term 'unicide' more often now, but then i think NO! JUST DO THE FREAKIN WK AND YOU'LL BE FINE!! UNI IS FUN! WHAT YOU'RE STUDYING IS FUN! AND INTERESTING! AND U KNOW IT!! YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE A B-GRADE CHIRO IN 4 YRS TIME!, SO STOP THINKING ABOUT BLUDGING AND GET TO WORK!!
i had to get my SPA (Spinal Assessment thingo) form done this arvo. That basically meant that i had to go to the Mac Clinic on campus to get my spine/body tested to make sure that i'm well enough to continue with my chiro skills studies. i have to get assessed every year and i actually like getting it done cos it gives us a chance to check out the 5th years in clinic and ask them questions and such. And it's cool cos we get to meet new ppl and relate what we learnt in class to real practice.
It also makes me feel a bit dumb though when i realise that we spent a year perfecting techniques that the interns rush through, whether it be because they know that we're all still in good form or they didn't learn it properly before i have no idea. But, no wonder they were so amazed at us last yr when we were all stressing before our exam, we must have seemed like such nerds=P
So some new things i found out from chatting with the nice intern:
- most students' bodies are found to be screwed up in fourth year,
so yay i'm looking forward to it.
- in 4th year i'll be doing 7 SUBJECTS in first Sem, and 8 SUBJECTS in 2nd Sem!! apparently i'm going to be at uni for 40 HOURS per wk, including breaks. omfg!! that explains the forementioned point
- BUT, most of our subjects will be skills, hence everyone loves uni after 3rd year cos most of the theory has been dropped (Chem! *cough* CHEM!!)
And some funny (to me) quotes from class today:
(talking about the wellbeing of a person and the opposition of it by life stresses)
Prof: So what stresses do uni students have everyday?
Us: hmm,... exams...*mumble mumble*
Prof: Exams,
bad food,
crap coffee!
(lecture room phone rings, Prof ignores, rings again, Prof picks up this time)
Prof: hello?
*indistinct chatting*
Guy: *pretending to be the Prof* Huh? What am i wearing?!?
LOL! that was so funny, the guy's a bit of a smartass but i found that an absolute classic=)
and that was my day.=)
but BUMMER!! I MISSED THE OSCARS!!
i wish uni hols were pushed forward over the OScars, i wanted to see all the gorgeous dresses!!=( i'll have to buy the mag or sumthing. no more teeveeee now that uni's started!! thank god for dl lost n prisonbreak, puts some of the pressure off!
