Wooohhh its that time of the month again...assignment fever that is. Had a few in line..1 due tomorrow which i have completed, 1 observation report due next onmonday and a presentation on friday! 2 assignments due on the same day in 2 3 weeks time..1000words +2000words case study report. 2 presentations in between! Another OT 2000word assignment due 8 days before exams. Ahhhh..exam is on the 10/6!..Neuroscience is the first paper..why oh why..couldnt u be the last one. Last paper on the 15/6- Chinese 1A!! hahaha dont have to worry so much bout this yet. Only 2 papers and im done for the semester! How quick is that!
May is packed!
This semester just went by like a rocket..or i reckon Deakin Uni is rushing into things..just because of the 3rd semester in Nov, they have to take away our study break. Evil evil..but on the brighter sight holidays starts earlier??? HAHAHA sigh.
Sometimes i just feel so left out when im with my coursemates. They can type up things so quickly when it comes to essay withing. It only takes some of them 2-4 hours whereas i probably take about half a day or more than a day LOL, some of them are very organized, smart..etc etc....ahhh so pressured. Im so slow.
Today's OT lecture was quite interesting..learned about Children with Autism. Never realised there are different types and Autism is one of them under Pervasive Developmental Disorder! Watched 2 videos, one of them was quite interesting and touching! One family in the US had 6 child all diagnosed with Autism. 2 had severe Autism..they were interllectually disabled,hyperactive, hypers sensitive to touch,emotionally unstable at times, lack of social skills and a whole range of other problems. Was so overwhelmed and impressed by the positive attitude of their parents, the way they manage..etc. Phew! These kids are just so special, different & its a challenge for OTs now and in the future.
The weather is getting colder lately, rains occasionally..which is a bonus for the farmers in rural or remote areas..not for me when i need to walk to Uni.
On a chilly weather tho i was craving for Peter's (or Nestle) Light creamy, 98% Fat free (dunno for real or what) rasberry ripple flavour ice cream instead! Hahaha it was on special at Coles $5. heh heh..goes well with kiwi fruits which was quite cheap as well 45cents each ...yum yum yum...
Maybe this is the last time i will buy ice cream. My small bar fridge, tho it has a so called "mini freezer" it took a while for the ice cream to completely freeze or reach the appropriate temp (below melting point?)...which means my ice cream partially melted and right now after a day its back to normal...sort of. Maybe my fridge is slightly occupied. heh.
LOL this rockmellon was on special too...$1 for half a mellon and its really sweet! :D Bargain..bargain..
Hmm for tomorrow's fieldwork, im visiting Deakin Uni's Cafe at the campus im studying at. HAhaha lets see some actions behind the kitchen!! ................time to think of what questions to ask...(this is my major challenge in communication skills).....i tend not to ask alot of questions..but since i started studying OT its all about communicating with ur clients...asking questions...argh. I have to find my comfort zone...and do lots of practice!! Speak up!
Alrighty dinner time.
P/S: With the Swine flu outbreak...coming winter season........or drastic weather changes on the other side of the world...remember to take good care of your health!
