Birthday over, mou. Had a quiet day which was nice really seeing as I felt a bit shit. Paul had got me a cake, and seeing as we only had 20 candles he put 2 and 3 down to try and make 23 for me and sang me Happy Birthday. He was very cute! We spent a good 3 hours playing on Link's crossbow training on my Wii Zapper which was hilarious fun, and then we pootled over to reception to see if my PSP had arrived. Luckily for me it had, and this made my day. The sun came out for half an hour, so Paul and I went and sat in a beatifully deserted Abercromby Square by the roses and excitedly unpacked the box. After depositing £70 of my birthday money (enough to cover the cost of the PSP) in the bank, we sauntered home and played on it for the rest of the day. Paul took me round the corner for a chinese for dinner as we couldn't afford anything fancy, and it was really nice. Mum was such a sweetheart and got me one of those upside-down watches I can out on my uniform at the hospital as we aren't suppposed to wear watches.
Placement starts on Monday, and I was happily ignoring it until after my birthday but now it is looming heavy on the horizon. I am looking forward to it, but am dreading seeing one of the guys I am on placement with as he totally CREEPS ME OUT, along with most of my friends. And 8 weeks seems a looooong time to be stuck with him. I know the actual radiography bit will be okay, once I get used to the machines again, and patients are lovely (most of the time), but I just can't deal with him ><;; He makes me want to run away screaming, and is absolutely terrible with patients. I know he failed at least 2 of the modules we had this year and, it sounds so awful to say, I am kind of hoping he fails clinical and drops back a year or decides to drop out. *shudders*
It was the university open day today, and I went round with Paul as he is doing an Engineering degree after he finishes at LIPA. It was bizarre seeing campus full of tiny people and groups of parents, all looking lost. Paul and I were extremely impressed with the Engineering department - hell, I would have done at least 2 of their degrees! He just wanted to check out the department and learn a bit more about the facilities at Liverpool, and I also had to nip into my department to give my course secretary my bank details so I can have my Academic Prize paid into my account (only £50 - looks like SACE were a bit richer, lol!) It was actually a really nice morning, though now I am shattered and in disbelief that it will be 9 weeks before I have another free weekday :( Back to the real world!
