The Busy Bustle and Hustle of Life

Can't believe time is going by sooo quickly...

There's always lots on my mind (as is the way a girl thinks)... lols! I have 3 months to squash all the material I have learnt so far from this course into my tiny little brain (yeah, it's not very big)... lols! Would love for it to be bigger than it can store and contain more mem... haha! After 3 months, the big test arrives - my exams. I have to be sooo ultimately ready for that and at this stage, time is short, and no, I'm not yet ready... Hopefully in 2 months I would be... but right now, brain says nup. And then after that, the big exciting day of moving back to good ol' Melb for goood!! Yes, I can't wait!! Just need to pass and get through this course! With God's strength of cos!!

Well, in the short term, tomorrow is the beginning of another placement - this time at H-o-r-n-s-b-y. Pretty nervous cause it is a h-e-a-r-i-n-g aid r-e-h-a-b clinic and I haven't been at a h-e-a-r-i-n-g aid r-e-h-a-b clinic for a few months now - so I think I am gonna be quite rusty. Plus the c-l-i-n-i-c-a-l educator there seems to be a little strict. Sometimes strict is good though - it's those places where u tend to learn a lot more than say if they were lenient. But I also feel that a strict c-l-i-n-i-c-a-l educator can make a c-l-i-n-i-c-a-l experience less worthwhile. Like if the c-l-i-n-i-c-a-l educator was approachable and nice, then your learning experience would be enhanced I think, and you would be encouraged more. But if there is tension every day, you probably wouldn't want to turn up or feel like crap for the next c-l-i-n-i-c-a-l day - definitely self-esteem would be affected I think, depending on how criticism is delivered and whether it's constructive or just over-the-top. I guess it all depends on how you and the c-l-i-n-i-c-a-l educator gets along. Yeah, it would definitely suck if she was strict and mean and demanding. I hope not. Guess I'll find out tomorrow!! And need to leave my house by 6:30am to escape the jam and be there by 7:30am to prepare for the first appointment at 8am... sigh... when all this is over... *dreams*

Brain: No! It's not over!! You still have this h-e-a-r-i-n-g aid assignment due Mon straight after p-l-a-c-e-m-e-n-t. Then after that, you need to pack, head to Melb and up to A-l-b-u-r-y for p-l-a-c-e-m-e-n-t... then do more assignments... look for accomm in B-e-n-d-i-g-o... more assignments... uni starts end Sept... more assignments...

Me says: Yes, got all that to do and so little time. *breathe breathe, calm calm* Feeling hungry... cooked spaghetti... yummy... gonna go eat and watch House and go to bed to wake early for tomorrow p-la-c-e-m-e-n-t, and crossing fingers that it will go okay. It's only a week, so if my c-l-i-n-i-c-a-l educator is really bad to work with, then at least it's only for that short period. I should be able to tolerate 5 days!! And I'll try to rem and do my best. Am nervous that I've forgotten things, but at the same time, am excited to be able to handle appointments by myself. =) I'm hoping that when I get in there, it'd all come back to me and I'd excel and impress my c-l-i-n-i-c-a-l educator instead, that she would go "whoa! This girl knows her stuff!!" *crossing the fingers and toes, and whispering to myself a 'hopefully'... "
