Orientation Week!
21. februar 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
I went into the campus today for a tour, one of the only parts of O week NOT curtailed by Covid restrictions. Did a tiny bit of exploring on my own, at least now I know my way around the three buildings I'll be spending most of my time in! Also learning to navigate the best public transport options available while the Gawler train line is still out.Les mer

Semester 1 commences!
28. februar 2022, Australia ⋅ 🌧 17 °C
Monday, 28th February 2022
This isn't the way I thought I'd be studying, but thanks to Covid 19, all lectures are online for the foreseeable future.
Instead of a lecture hall filled with students, it's just me watching a recorded video of the lecture. At least I'll be on campus for all of my tutorials, practicals and workshops, but Mondays and Tuesdays are home study days for now!Les mer

First day on campus
2. mars 2022, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
I'm glad I got the early bus this morning- the one I was on had mechanical issues, so I was a little delayed coming in. Because I'd set out early, I still got here on time to work out how to access the Uni WiFi.
I'm nervous enough, starting my student life, without being late to my first tutorial!
I've now done my first tutorial session (FiHMESS- Foundations in Human Movement, Exercise and Sport Science) have done a Zoom Q&A session for Physiology.Les mer

Week 2
10. mars 2022, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Uni life is OK! Well, maybe I could be enjoying the workload more ;) but it's a good life when your workshop finishes early, so you can sit outside and have some lunch. It's another beautiful Autumn day in Adelaide!Les mer

It's not rocket surgery...
14. mars 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
Public holiday or not, study has to happen. I'm doing the Nervous System in Physiology, and right now, learning about the brain.
Learning about brains is making MY brain hurt!

Not a fun day.

I can't figure out how to print, and I'm getting rained on. :(

Things are starting to make a little more sense now. I can print, know where the usb ports in the library computers are and have almost managed public transport!

My favourite tree.
24. mars 2022, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
I like this particular tree, because when I'm standing under it, I'm on my way home!

First Assignment submitted!
24. mars 2022, 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!Les mer

The day of the travelling tutorial
30. mars 2022, 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...Les mer

Owning my study.
4. april 2022, 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.Les mer

Week 6

With the Physiology Zoom Q&A cancelled today, an opportunity arose to chill out on the Plaza. Blue skies, sunshine, a book and an intrepid high-rise window cleaner featured in my lunch hour.

HB's HD!
7. april 2022, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
My first High Distinction from the Anatomy Theory test.
I'm so happy to get such a good grade in my favourite subject.
My mini lectures to my Pilates clients helped my revision so much, they'll definitely happen again!Les mer

Back into it!
27. april 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
After a two week 'break' where I sat in front of my computer most days for 6-8 hours, I'm back on campus for the second half of Semester One. Struggled to wake up and get to the bus stop on time this morning!Les mer

Pigeon whispering continues...
27. april 2022, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Pigeons seem to like me. Probably just in the hopes I'll feed them, but hey, I'll take what I can get!

Compare the pair...
3. mai 2022, 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!)Les mer

Fuelled by lolly snakes
4. mai 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
This is the face of someone who thinks they just scored a HD on the Physiology test. Bit awkward if I bomb now! Lolly snakes were consumed for the duration to ensure my brain had lots of energy to be brilliant with!Les mer

Twice in a row!
5. mai 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
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.

Anatomy of the spine.
12. mai 2022, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
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!

Physiology Finale!
8. juni 2022, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
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!
