Things can only get better!

This past month has been one of my busiest so far! I've been so busy that i cant even blog. Each time i say to myself i'm gonna update my blog today something will just happen and its either i forget or will be too tired. Well, its stopped tonight, oh no this morning cos its past midnight.
How have u been? Need i say i've been busy? Yes i have been busy with uni stuffs, loads of assignments and lectures to attend. I'm glad i'm home now even though its not completely a holiday as i am working. I'm not complaining! I'm enjoying my job......cos i need the money.

I really feel like i need to take a break but thinking about the assignments i've got is so depressing and to just do them and get them out of the way is hard too. God i need ur help. There isn't much i can do now cos i 'm not in uni environment and the library round here is just a no go area, full of useful stuffs to say the least.

I'm just gonna chill, enjoy the rest of my holiday, try not to think about those assignments and take each day as it comes. I've only got less than 14 days so i better enjoy it while it lasts.

I feel so stiff, i've not be exercising since i came home, its nearly a week of no exercise now, i pity myself cos the next time i do any form of exercise, its gonna be so painful afterwards.I better start thinking about what to do to that now or it get worse! Will probably register in a gym for 2 weeks! Fitness first is doing a £5/week deal, not sure its still on but its worth checking!

I feel so tired after a 6hr shift that felt like 12hrs and to make it worse i had to cook my own food when i got home, cos my younger brothers couldn't be bothered to cook nothing. Thankfully i wasn't too tired to cook and now that i've eaten, need to wait for it to digest and then i can carry myself to bed.

It feels nice blogging again! Take care Y'all!

Wow! its been ages....

I cant believe how long its been since i blogged, i have been that busy. Placement was always tiring, cant even do nothing when i get back home apart from eating and going straight to bed. Thank God its over now.

This week has not been the best week but things got better. I left my hall for uni on monday and few mins walk down the road, i saw a funeral convoil and i thought, oh no, not what i'ld like to see first thing on a monday morning! Not knowing that more awaits me. I got into the classroom, but just before we started lectures, the Dean and the HOD came in to tell us that we lost a tutor over the weekend to sudden death. I was more than shocked 'cos we were meant to be starting a new topic with this tutor in the afternoon which was obviously cancelled. I was so sad for the rest of that day. Unfortunately, the scheduled lecture for that morning was imaging the dead! The lecturer had to ask if we wanted to continue or not, we all chose to continue, thankfully it wasn't too bad.

The rest of the week was just boring and long. On wednesday, one of our tutors said our results will be released that day, some were excited some people like me were like oh no, we dont want it......lol. We ended up not seeing it until friday and thank God i passed cos i cant imagine having a resit in august when i am meant to be on holiday, enjoying the sun in my motherland!

Thank God this week is gone now, i've got 2 more weeks before i go home for easter break, i really cant wait. I don't know why but i've missed my family so so much. I can't tell them though, too proud to admit it to them.....lol.

Its another week starting on monday but the timetable is light for that week, hopefully i'll get some of my assignments done in that week. I've got 4 different assignments and 1 exam due in june. I'm looking forward to the exam but not the assignments. Think i prefer exams more now...its amazing how humans change! I use to dread exams, i still dread it but i prefer it to assignments now. Bring it on guys, i'll be ready for u.

I love /hate placement !

I started placement last week and it was such a good week back out there. I was in Nuclear Medcine/Medical physics department. I enjoyed it so so much that i'ld love to go back there. The staff are so so nice, they say thank u for every little thing u do for them, like cleaning and changing rolls after each patient, helping to get patients from the waiting room, helping with daily cleanings. We do all this things normally in the main x-ray department and dont get a thank u for it, it feels like a normal job. We even get sent to clean mobiles around the hospital without a thank u.....well we are still students eh? take everything at least for now!
Neways, Nuclear medicine is one of my options now, i'ld really like to work there if i get a job there. Apart from getting more radiation when injection radioisotopes into patients, its just a fantastic place to work. And now that they are manufacturing Gamma cameras with CT together, it sounds like its gonna be more fun! My week went really quick, i suppose it does tho when u are having fun, ur week goes really fast.

This week didnt start well at all, i'm supposed to be working on mobiles and theatres which happens from the main x ray department. I got to the department and as my colleague was telling the senior rad there about what he is supposed to be doing which is same as me, i got there but as soon as i said same thing she was like " i dont care where u are supposed to be, u cant go cos i'm short staff and i need to keep u down here". I was shocked, like how could she talk to me like that on a monday morning! And besides i am a student not a member of staff, i dont mind helping out, which we do on a daily basis and sont get paid for it. So y should i suffer as a student cos they are short? If she was worked up, she shouldnt be taking it out on me! I Was really upset but what can i do, nothing at all! I just had to pull myself together and carry on working. It was a very long day and i couldnt wait for it to be over. When i got home, i had something to eat and went straight to bed. I was that upset and tired.

Today has not been bad, it was quite steady. My legs are so painful though. I guess that is as a result of crap shoes. I need to get myself a proper duty shoe that can support me. I'll do that when i get some money.

I've got another 2 days to go in that place, i cant wait. The week feels really long when u are in d main department. I cant wait for friday to come so i can at least have a saturday off and stay longer in bed.

I'm yawning already, i better start getting ready for bed.
See u all later

Back to Uni

I can't believe i'm back to uni already! I wish i can just have a whole week off.....that's got to remain a wish.
To make it worse i started my week with physics again, my worst nightmare! Thankfully it wasnt too bad cos it was all about the concept of MRI which was quite interesting, well......for now!

Tuesdays was kinda funny. It was all about research and statistics. Gosh that guy know alot of things. He questions every single thing! Guess that's part of the characteristics of researchers. Well i dont envy them. He even got my mate interested in studying a bit of theology, cos he was going on about different stuffs about the world, evolution, Newton, Eistein and a whole lot of them, he wasnt particularly saying they were wrong but he has an explanation for everything. God help him!

Today has been the most boring day so far. Health and Social class was all we talked about in uni today and the tutor wont stop going on and on and on. We spent more than 30mins on just one slide....how boring is that. I guess i found it more boring cos i've done it in college. Well, i felt i should have stayed in bed but i couldnt cos of my attendance, its important.

I'm glad today is over and i'm looking forward to wat tmw has in store for me!
I was abit emotional this afternoon, guess i was too bored and was over thinking. I'm sorry baby, i didnt meant to hurt u. Its the last thing on my mind...... guess the saying is true....idle hand is the devil's workshop. Mind in my case! guess i didnt have anything else to think about but than us and i had to just voice out. I'm sorry if i hurt u with my words. I really am, i didnt mean to.

Neways, i better go and take my medications and go to bed. Been on 3 diff antibiotics for almost 7days now, i cant wait to finish it. I've had heartburn for a long time but no doctor bothered to check me out until lately. How bad!I didnt the breath test and it came back postive and it turns out that the bacteria helicobacter pylori has been causing me problems. Everyone is a carrier, but it doesnt harm some people. This was just before my exams and thank goodness the doctor advised me not to start the treatment during my exams cos i'ld have just failed....gosh those meds knock u out really bad. Its gonna be over pretty soon and i'll be free from heartburns and indigestions.

Na nite, i'm outta here!
