Don't live in Halls of Residence!

Hi all! I can't believe how its been since i've posted something on here. I've been that busy, lectures has been so so tiring. Being on placement didnt make it any better. I have 4 assignments, 2 placement assessments and 1 exam. I could have finished my assignment but i have been on placement and the only thing i can do at the end of the days when i am placement is eat and sleep. I really can't do anything else. That is how tired i get.

Thank goodness i finished two of my assignments before i went home for Easter break. Now i've got the other two to finish and i've got less than 2 weeks as well as exam to revise for.....Did u ask what i am doing here? Well i needed a break from it all cos i 've been writing non stop for the past 3 hours and i just thought i need a break!

What has been happening to you guys? For me i cant even remember them all but i sure remember one, I'm going on holiday in august! I think i deserve it this time cos i havent been on any kind of holiday since last year april, more than a year now and yet i've been working hard, so i think i'm due one now dont u?

I'm counting down now. Everyone in my hall is moving out. They are all done for summer but NHS student are always the last ones to move out and 1st to move back in, how nice is that? Cos we dont pay tuition fees, they just make us work harder than any other student. I'll be finishing my exam and all academic stuffs in June and i have 6 weeks of clinical placement after that....how sad.

I was coming in from lectures today and i saw people dragging their travelling bags home and parents coming to pick their kids up from school.....i wish that could be me but no way is that happening till July....well i will survive, i always have.

There are some proper crazy people in my hall, my flat especially. They do steal bread, butter and marmalades from the fridge but i dont mind cos they put it back, well sometimes. Lately they've graduated from stealing stuffs like that to proper food. I Came in from placement about 2 weeks ago and my cooked beans was gone from the freezer and a few days before then, my 10kg bag of rice was gone. Now that was painful cos i really wanted to eat beans that day and rice was my main food. I eat it more than anything but now its gone. Out of annoyance, i mailed the management even though i knew they wont really do nothing. They acknowledged my email and sent the student warden to come and talk to me about it. Well i talked to him, told him what was happening but again there is nothing he can do about it, the deed has been done.
I'm over it now, been buying 1kg packs of rice since then as i cant afford another 10kg cos its nearly the end of session.

Yaradua is gone! Did u hear about that? I bet u did! Something tells me that he died long time ago, the recent publicity is just fake. How are we so sure that he is the one wrapped up in that cloth? I dont think so, there was no lying in state. Maybe its just be but i dont think he only just died, he died ages ago. Goodluck to acting president and i hope he leads Nigeria well.

David Cameron is now UK's new prime minister. It was a thug of war with their hung parliament during the election. I had no idea what it meant at that time but i knew God's plan will defo prevail. People are so scared that the conservatives will close the immigration borders but who ever is destined to come here will definitely come.

Neways, break time over, i better get back to work. I've got about 300 more words for one of my assignment and another 500 or so for the other one. I might not finish both of them tonight but at least i can try.
See ya all later

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
