On the last contact day before the teaching break, I paid my respects to the late Queen Elizabeth. It was the first time I've visited Government House.

Public transport adventures!
August 4, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
It's lovely having trains running again, but when there's a power outage...
After waiting 45 minutes at Mawson Lakes, got on to a train that terminated at Salisbury. Then onto another train, before final bus home. So at least 2 hours after leaving Uni, I'll make it home.

I guess it *could* have been worse...I got off at Elizabeth to catch the bus the rest of the way home. The train was meant to be stopping all stations, but all the passengers were asked to get off again and wait for the next train...Read more

This is the face of someone who has definitely passed Human Anatomy 100! Rani was not allowed to tell me my mark, but gave me a hug and said I did very well. Onwards and upwards! Big thanks to my boy Joe, who tolerated having post-it notes stuck all over him and listened to all my woes and garbled practices for the VIVA.Read more

Anatomy theory test 2!
June 9, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
I put a lot of effort into revising for today's test. I made an educated guess about what would be included and put most effort into that. I got some of the questions I was expecting! Suffice to say I'm glad I did run my eye over other notes too! A couple were educated guesses, but I think I have done well. While Nicola was wandering around whispering to people and dropping subtle hints , she nodded when looking at my paper!Read more

All I had to do to pass Physiology was to turn up today...
Today's test was 40% of my final grade, I think I did OK. Not perfect, but well enough!

Today we made vertebrae out of play dough and discussed all things spinal.
Didn't get the hat-trick in Kahoot, but came second. I was poking the correct answers, but my phone wasn't registering!

Won the kahoot again this week in Human Anatomy 100! I actually got all the questions correct, one was just too late. However, winners are grinners, missing one answer didn't matter.

Compare the pair...
May 3, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
The folder on the bottom is 6 weeks worth of Physiology lecture notes. I have a test tomorrow on the lecture content from the first six weeks' worth of lectures.
The folder on the top is the bits of the lectures that test questions will be based on, plus a bit extra, because I do like well organised, colour coded, highlighted notes with plenty of diagrams and tables.
Bit of a difference between what we've been taught and what we'll be tested on! (Thank goodness!)Read more

Owning my study.
April 4, 2022 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 18 °C
It's been a difficult few weeks. I've been struggling getting back into a study groove.
I'm having difficulties keeping up with content and retaining information.
I've let myself get physically and emotionally run down.
So many times I've just wanted to give up and go back to my little life.

Today, I became more proactive, I've spoken to one of my course coordinators, made a study plan for the teaching break, asked for study tips and changed tutorial groups.

I'm owning my hopes.
I'm owning my path.
I'm owning everything that matters to me.

I'm putting my power back into my own hands. I want more than I currently have, and I am the only person who can get me to where I want to go.

...and I WILL get there.Read more

The day of the travelling tutorial
March 30, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
The power went out in the Centenery building this afternoon. When I arrived at my 7th floor 1-3pm Physiology tutorial, there was a mad dash to find a free room with power!
The first option (Playford building, 4th floor) was fine until the students turned up at 2pm for whatever subject they were studying, so we hung around outside until a new room was found, same building, one floor up. I'm over stairs today...Read more

First Assignment submitted!
March 24, 2022 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
Hopefully my assignment has submitted successfully! I'm still learning to navigate all the IT based procedures.
I had to slash my word count to avoid penalties, after being told there was no upper limit, the directive was issued that there was a cap! Lots of hours to edit, edit and then edit a bit more, and I'm still ahead of the deadline. Now I just have to hope my submission went through properly!Read more
