When you don't know what's going on, just make comments that are always right :)

With every big bold statement like that there has to be a story right?  So, today while I was in clinic 5, Dr Smith asked cameron what the setting time for AHplus...or was it ADplus I don't remember the material.  Anyway cameron said not long at all which is quite true for most chemically set dental materials where there are 2 setting times.  However this was just plain wrong and Dr Smith made it very obvious haha! the answer was 24 hours which is actually a long time :P 

the other trigger for that statement is from a youtube video I saw where a guy hired bodyguards, 'papparazzi', photographers and dressed up like a celebrity.  This prompted a lot of people wanting a photo and when asked by teh cameraman whether they knew who he was they just said oh latest spiderman movie, if they listened to his music, they heard his FIRST single and it was good :P 

On a more personal level, i do this all the time :) No recent examples come to mind but generally when trying to break into a coversation or i zoned out it happens :D  I don't know but I have been having afternoon naps and gosh they are satisfying...especailly when you dose for 2 hours :P

Lets get serious

There haven't been any of the usual wake up calls - failing a test, failing a subject, repeating or anything which has really prompted this sudden call to study.  I suppose it has been since I failed but nevertheless, I will learn everything!

The last couple of weeks have been very enjoyable :) Happy hour was quite good, getting free/very cheap drinks is always good hahaha friends manning the counter ftw!! nice chatting and catching up :)

Emma's housewarming was quite fun as well but I had a bit to drink so I stayed over.  The apartment was very spectacular especially at dawn when i was awoken from the sunlight :P

Ekka holiday was really really fun!  We baked a cheesecake went shopping and had yummy food :)  The process of making the cheesecake took much longer than anticipated with elaine and sonya wanting to taste all the ingredients before they had been mixed hhahaa cream cheese and processed tim tams do sure taste good :P  Had pasta, cheesecake, strawberries dipped in dark chocolate, waffles and biscuits :) did not manage to get the cards done but oh well.  I want to go shopping for artsy stuff because that is always fun!

Dental dinner was also fun!  Even thought it was a bit pricey the photographers were much better :) the 'photobooth' was excellent!  Videos were much more relatable and in general a nice night!  There were a few highlights I though, one was the golf course, hitting about 25 gold balls into the driving range was good :)  sore arm the next day though, a good experience.  Another was getting my revenge on David from first year, lets just leave it at that :P

So that was a few days ago.  I had a rough night sleep so today I was quite tired, had some coffee, that stuff keeps you awake doesn't it haha.

I've been reading notes for one of the 2 really hard subjects next year, hope I can finish them ^^ a brief browse anyway!

Mum might be going to uni! how exciting, she mgiht graduate at the same time as me hahaha and before jennifer :P

Polishing up resume

So after a chat with mum on sunday, I decided that what my resume lacked was not what I had achieved in high school or what I was doing right now, but rather some referees.  So I have decided to make it more than 1 page haha.  The extra page I am addding includes some of the thing I did in High school but I didn't deem it good enough to put on the resume such as work experience and also some references (supervisors yay!) So with this newfound power I will go part time job hunting paid or unpaid doesn't matter(as long as it is close) :P

I finished the electronic practicals for microbiology and did pretty well..stuffed one of them up but oh well! I blame the haemolysis...it did not read correctly.

must finish my letter been putting it off for far far too long :P

I think i also need to drink more water...hmmmm

donating blood

Red cross has a system where they call you and ask if you would like to book an appointment to donate blood.  Being the good persopn that i am, i fell for the trap, not only did i fall for it i followed through and gave them my blood in exchange for strawberry milk, sandwich and some fruit salad. I'm a reverse vampire!

today i went in and assisted for an hour and a half before ehading out to donate blood. got a call from french emabssy for elaine and told her about it.

Also looks like we are going to dent dinner if we can manage to get seats ^^ very randomly helen wants to go!  played fruit ninja with ben...i'm terrible at that game haha

Needing inspiration

Well I sort of had another 6 hour day today but it was at the dental school so I had an idea what was going on :) It was not that bad especially since I didn't have to do anything in the 3 hour pros session.  The pre clinic session was quite intense because for the life of me I couldn't shape one of the lateral incisor composites correctly...the wedge I put in wasn't tight enough so the matrix kept slipping off.  I did get it all signed in the end but its not my best work haha.

I need to get inspired to study something for next year, whether it be pathology or perio I am not too sure now, I think all I can learn is the rote learning componenet so the names of diseases and what they do etc.  As for specificis I think it will be quite dodgy if i learn it all now since there is no chance I will remember it next year...they are specifics gosh!

If I think of it like that then I will look at everything with a broad overview rather than learning everything. memorising is always fun, it trains my brain a bit.

Need to exercise as well, inspiration required for that as well but that is secondary to acadmic
