today was the worst day i have had since uni started... i actually forgot to bring my assignment which was due today to school... i saved it on my laptop at home and did not saved it into my usb... and i had to go all the way home to get it... and i had to work later at night... shitty day...
worked full shifts on both sat and sun... and only came home at 10pm on sun and i had a 8am start today which meant that i had to wake up at 6am... dunno why i couldn't sleep last night... kept waking up and going to the toilet... and then today, i was so out of it... i could not even speak coherently... the stuff that i was thinking about did not come out of my mouth correctly, i kept yawning nonstop... and then i only realised that i had left my assignment at home when anna asked me during anatomy lecture this morning, whether i handed in my assignment already... i was like shit, i think i left it at home leh...
so in the end, amelia was kind enough to give me a lift back and after handing in the assignment, i went to sleep for awhile, before i had to go to work...
i really think i am not organising my time well... i have no time to revise... everytime i come home from work, i eat and shower and after that, have to sleep already cos the next day have to wake up early to go to uni...
and then now have this really huge OTTP group project... and we dun get to choose the pple we want to work with... so i ended up with five other pple whom i dun really noe... and so far, after meeting twice, we still haven't got any progress... the project is for us to design a living skills program for prisoners... i tried to pay attention during OTTP lectures... but sometimes, my mind juz wanders off and i dun noe what the lecturer's saying... how... i am so in deep shit...

DuNnO whAt TitLe...
sigh... after so long without having to use my brainjuices to think and now suddenly... all the assignments and uni stuff are all piling up again... and i am still not getting into my study mode... dunno when will my brain realise that i have started school and not still on holiday mode... and then when i come home... i am the only one now who has to study and do assignments while prisy and michelle can watch tv and do other stuff... and not worry abt deadlines and results... this semester is definitely a whole new game cos i dunno anything, everything we are learning now is new... unlike last year at least i know abit of what i am studying before... my biggest fear of all is that one day, i would wake up and realise that i am in the wrong course and being an OT is not what i really want... i'm scared... dunno if i am equipped to deal with some of the clients that we see... saw some clips of children with cerebral palsy and... i dunno... how do u not let ur personal feelings interfere with ur professional ones??
i am going to stop feeling sorry for myself and just take one day at a time...
anyway, on a lighter side... apparently, work has this new policy which says that if u have the highest scan rate for that particular week, u receive a $20 gift voucher and i happen to get one last week... yay... i try my best... haha so that i can use the money to buy food (chocs)... :) easter's coming up and we are planning to go on an easter egg hunt again, like we did last year...
thinking abt going back home during the mid semester break... but mum was saying it's only for 3 weeks so why not wait till jan... maybe... worried abt nainai though...

Not vErY ExcItIng...
end of uni week 1... and it was bearable bcos 1) we dun have tutorials in wk 1, 2) found out that i at least noe some pple in my new tutorial group... previously, we were able to choose the group that we want but this year, it was chosen for us... 3) found out that we have fridays off this semester again... yay!! the downside was i have 3 days with 8am starts... which means that i have to wake up at 6am... when winter comes, it will be so super cold and dark... i dunno how am i going to wake up then... oh and we have got new computers in the labs, the ones with the flat screens... at least the stupid school did something correct...
this semester, i am doing, Human Occupations, Anatomy (Lower limbs), Neuroscience (which is definitely getting more difficult), OTTP, COP, ORL and Designing Health Research... which is a new subject... on quatitative and qualitiative research methods... how exciting! fell asleep during OTTP lecture that day man... the lecturer talks funny, she always has this sound that she makes as if she's eating sweets... and whenever she does it... which was often... pple including me will crack up... it's mean but i can't help it... and it was so boring... moreover, she said we dun have to copy anything cos she will be putting it online for us, okay so we were all just sitting there listening to her... obviously there were alot of heads nodding after 15 min... i think i dozed off after half an hour... haha...
yesterday, i was so pissed off at karen... bcos she borrowed my neuroscience notes on wed to copy and then on thurs, i asked her to return it to me cos i need it to study during the weekend, she told me she has not copied it yet... and bcos i was going to have lunch outside with anna and yochi and then i planned to go straight home, i have to take it back with me... so she asked why dun i come back to uni after lunch and amelia can drive me home... so i said okay... so bcos of her... i had to walk all the way back to uni under the hot sun.... and when i reached uni 2 hours later, i saw amelia and her still eating and she still has not copied the notes... and she told me that she thought that i was going to stay in school to study, which i wasn't, so she took her time... what the hell... so irritating... sometimes, i dun want to lend my notes to others bcos of these things...

2nd YEar 1sT seMeStEr OT...
I am finally back in uni... after a really long vacation... i was almost bored to tears man... i am now officially a 2nd year OT... well... reflecting on the year 2005... uni was copable, i think... because i did some of the subjects in poly already so i was not too confronted by them... on a personal note... i did things that i normally would not get to do if i were in singapore... eg skiing (which I still have a phobia till now), going to clubs and pubs, (which i didn't enjoy)... meet new pple from different parts of the world...
now that i am back to uni... nothing much has changed... the school still looks and feels the same, except that they have refurbished the stupid JDV AGAIN!!! wasting money on useless things like the boards that change the ads every few minutes... and some computers there too and they even shifted the microwaves... which were the first things that i was looking for when i came to school this morning... they shifted them into a corner in BIte me... the only good thing abt it was instead of the pathetic one microwave that we have for the whole school... we now have... 2!!!!
:( so many huh!!
they should use the money to get us more microwaves...
and ...something went wrong with my enrolment... apparently i was not enrolled in the clinical placement subject... because my result was still incomplete since last year... how annoying!
anyway... sat was prisy's cousin myat (remember the one who we went for her wedding?) birthday... she invited us to her house for a bbq... had an okay time there... did not have much to do except eat and sit ard cos i dun really noe the pple there... played drawing with this really cute 2-yr-old girl... she was sooo cute... and then yesterday... also went to my uncle's friend's home... apparently his 2 older daughters are going to live in england for a year so it was like a farewell party for them... and again of course i dun noe anyone there... ate the exact same food also... like seriously same nachos, dips and spring rolls... but they had a really cute dog, a black collie... she is very docile and she actually responds to her name... haha...
was supposed to have a 8am lecture this morning, but the lecturer did not turn up so now i have to wait till 3pm for the next lecture... what a waste of my time... i got nothing to do now leh... save me!! still have 4hours to go...
