Nearly free... Sort of...

So I haven"t blogged in a while.
Sue me.
Actually, don"t, I think I"ll get enough of that in a few years...


It"s been pretty hectic lately, though with nothing much to show of it :S
We"re starting to get incredibly overloaded with the information they are throwing at us and expecting it to just stick, so I"ve been spending more and more time at the library and PBL rooms. I"ve almost reached the point where I"m thinking it could be cheaper to sneak in a cabinet and store stuff there and I"ll just sleep there overnight...

Totally off the topic of study, I got the new Nightwish album. It"s good. It"s goooooood.
Ahhh, I"ve been digging up my old "operatic metal/symphonic rock/whatever you want to call it" stuff and relistening to it all. Good stuff :)

Oh, holidays next week! Hooray!

Statistics

It has begun.

Statistics time yet again.

I"m currently sitting here in a stats lecture, in which more than half the class has already left. I decided now would be a good time to use free wireless internet to download all the notes I"ve been meaning to get, as well as figure out what all this stats business is all about.

All I"ve heard so far is that he mentioned the H2G2 improbability drive.

I think its time to go nap...

Learning, forgetting, learning, forgetting, rinse, repeat.

Its been a while since I"ve posted and quite a bit has happened.

First thing is that I got a haircut!

Yeah, a number 3 in fact, so its quite a big change. It"s quite amusing actually, I can"t stop rubbing my head. It"s the strangest feeling, quite soothing really...

On the learning side of things, we had a nice "Rural Day" outing to Port Lincoln (I think)
[EDIT: I"ve been told its Port Elliot... It"s a good thing I pay attention to everything around me...].
There, we learnt about our options in 3/4th year (I"m thinking Darwin!), but more importantly, we learned a few hands on things so much more interesting than all the theory we"ve been doing lately.

We learned a little plastering which was fun though messy with all that plaster of paris... In fact, I only just removed my cast :)

We learned to suture on some pig trotters, though I"m sure human skin is just a tad thinner...

We learned some basic emergency rescue from the SAAS, which was really basic revision from our Basic Life Support sessions, and especially for me from the work I"ve done with St John.

We also learned to cannulate veins on dummy arms which "bled" all over the place. This was
probably the easiest. I"ve noticed that after doing mouse tail vein injections, human veins are HUGE. I felt like I couldn"t really miss...

Unfortunately, I don"t think this sort of thing happens very often, so no more fun for a while :(
