I LIED...in my defense I have 7 exams to procrastinate for now :)

So in March I said I'd post in a month.  Well here we are, 3 months later, I'm just like community channel except she says she will post in a week and takes 9 months off :P

Seeing patients has been quite satisfying I have to admit, especially when the same patient comes again and again and actually completes your course of care and they had like 8 3 hour appointments ;p You genuinely meet a lot of cool old people and the tutors are pretty amazing :) nothing like actually applying what you learn eh?  they also don't make you look bad in front of the patients when you clearly have no idea what you're doing :P

I am still lost on how to make dentures...mainly because we pretty much get one shot at it and then have to figure it out by ourselves...but on the last day of semester I actually felt really good about the secondary impression I did baically because i had an amazing patient whose alveolar ridge was really good ;p

Outside of Uni I have been participating in dental events mainly and going to 21sts, 22nd's and 23rd birthy parties, makes me feel good that I'm not actually that old in the group ;p I'd say I'm still under the average age which is quite amazing considering in the year above I was about average age ;p. This is an older group :P

So i took apart my computer setup, wireless mouse and keyboard are on top of the wardrobe, monitor on the ground, headphones put away speakers no longer where they were. Laptop is actually super useful when you can move it around since its not connected to a monitor :P typing stuff in bed is quite comfortable!!

I have an exam tomorrow and i've been studying it for a while now, its pretty much a 3rd year version of what I was doing all of last year and then added into it surgery stuff.  Seeing teeth getting pulled out is amazing :)

I am so looking forward to going back to Sydney especially after this exam period, its going to be absolutely insane with like 10.5 hours of exams spread over 7 exams.

Luckily I have a group of people I've been studying with every week for one of the subjects so that one has been easier to absorb than it would otherwise have been.

So I haven't been playing games but I've still managed to waste a lot mroe time on reddit haha, i read so much about american politics :P

I have not left the house in about 10 days ;p got to exercise some time...well i guess I'll be walking while going to my exam tomorrow so that counts haha.

Sleeping 10 hours a night is pretty amazing considering i've been getting about 7 hours all semester well 7 or 8 depending if i go to the morning lecture or not ;p I regret not going to one of the lecture, one of the orthodontic ones which I heard was pretty amazing. Aside from that I guess I've made a couple of birthday cards here and there, not really kept in touch with anyone in sydney except family but oh well..

Not sure if i told you all I have my full licence yet.  I'm also not looking forward to post exam period where I have to clean everything...so much paper dammmmmmnnnnn

15 minutes is enough prcrastination, whoever reads this is also procrastinating because the only people i know are all in exam period ;p

Once a month!

So the last post was over a month ago and quite a lot has happened since then.  First off, Chinese new year. I was in high demand that day ^^ Aunty susan wanted me home for dinner and she made dishes representative of a blissful new year! It had a whole fish, prawns, abalone and a soup which I don't remember. Afterwards I went to Lucy's place and we played ultrastar and celebrated the new year with my new group of friends!!

Over the past month, I've gone there a few times whether it was the blackout at the dental school and we chilled out there or pot luck where everyone brings a dish and we all eat together and play games, it has been good fun and made immersion week really fun :) It also means I have more friends!! I've talked to a lot of people I don't think I would talk to normally through Lucy so I have to say thank you!!

That is not to say I've forgotten about my other friends :) I've gone to sunnybank and also comedy festival and elaine's brithday in the last month.  Sunnybank was quite enjoyable, especially when Helen decided that opening the cup would be a good idea, seeing the jelly worms and not seeing them amkes a huge difference when you drink the tea :P Dinner was nice with the soft shell crab and generally good food at vietnamese corner. The only downside was that i touched off twice at sunynbank so I was fined $2.50. This has happened a few times in the last month, most notably yesterday when I was fined $5 gosh I forgot to touch off dammit!!

Last weekend was good despite the weather ruining the opportunity for me to dry my clothes in the sun.  First off, gold coast was really fun we went to the casino and went to aunty linda and uncle kim's room to have a look at the view and how it is different to other hotel rooms, it had 2 very comfortable beds ;p We then went for a buffet which was delightful!! After that we went to the casino but I decided to go to the balcony and play games on my mobile phone rather than the pokies, you can't make money from that :P

On sunday we went to elaine's new place and had a really good time :) it was filled with eating pretty much haha. First off pizza lunch delivered!! the customised pizza was pretty awesome ^^ we also decided to get cake and make dinner all of which was quite nice, everyone cooking in the kitchen was excellent camraderie and stuff I supervised yaaaaay!!

After that we went to the comedy and ti was quite enjoyable! I laughed quite a few times and ym favourite sketch was the one where they pretended they were in the car then probably the australian music and the alliteration one!

Following that we could have gone home or gone for milkshake at elaine's. I'm glad we went back for milkshake because it was so good!! Got home about 10 30 and went to bed at a decent time. Uni was quite uneverntful today, quite a boring day to be honest, tomorrow should be alright and wednesday should be excellent ^^

Happy hour was not that amazing because i was behind the counter haha, it was however quite dramatic :P

stay tuned for next month!! (probably be boring and filled with study :P)

boat cruise! get excited!

A new year and back on track

I’ve been looking forward to this year for over a year now where 2^nd year was over and I get to see patients!  Last year was a delay in graduating but not a complete waste of time.  I did get to go clinic a lot and got to know many second years and also my fellow repeaters!  It was much easier last year I thought which makes me think that 3^rd year is easy…if I were repeating.  I will have to work as hard as both years combined to be on top of things I think.

So the holidays were not as memorable as others partially due to them being cut short and me missing out on the end of the holidays which are usually the best L However duty calls and I have returned to queensland a month early in prepapration for seeing patients and the imminent chair shortage.

So the first week I was back we had a series of lectures and the second week I was back we did a few of the first appointments on each other and familiarised ourselves with the computer system and where things were located.

I talked to the new people found out who failed from last year and chatted to a lot of people throughout the weeks.  Its been quite a good 2 weeks I think and hopefully it only gets better from here perhaps its time to let go of games completely and get right into study…I’ll give games a couple more weeks before cold turkey…deleting games and things which remind me of games such as skype…I think I will leave dota there.

Bit of stuff happening at home, mum is going uni, brother is going for gamsat and pharmacy stuff sister is in her final year of high school! Its going to be a busy year all year. I will be ready!!
