and just one more !

 
Gosh..........I do look very different! I keep giving myself a suprise everytime I look in the mirror!
I know I am going to get very mixed results from all.......but you know what!? I love it! I think there is alot of emotion attatched to hair! I just cut it all off! Hoorah! 

Hair parade

 
This is the latest in parisian fashion darlings really luveys you MUST try it ! Its all the rage you know! 

News Flash...........

 
The new me!
I kept the old hair........god knows what for ! This is the shortest I have had my hair in 16 years!
What made me do it I hear you cry?????????
I dont know! I just did it! No reason but I jet propelled myself to the hairdressers before I changed my mind and TADA!I feel lighter and newer! 

Taking a long breath out

Here I am at J-sters place at last ! Time to relax and take a step back from it all and allow myself the good fortune to unwind.
I recieved my results at long last and did pretty well.....
4 High Distinctions , 1 Distinction and 2 Credits! Not bad . I am still letting it sink in and bugging everyone to tell me how clever I am ,What a great Job I did and what a fabulously intelligent thing I am...Its not happening quite that way but why would it??? Its my achievement and one that I need to pat myself on the back for.
But now its time to move on and enjoy the relaxation for a while!

Its all done!

They are over! My finasl are done.10 exams in 4 weeks! I feel I have achieved irrelevant of wether I passed,got a credit,distinction or high distinction.
Its a great feeling.........I have a one month break form study but have found a new job which means I have to get up at 5.30 am every weekday morning.Thats okay .......I am in the desperate student mode who will do anything to get a buck in hand!
I am not sure how that will fare when I return to Uni but I am determined I dont want to be an insanely impoversished student.
Its all about finding the balance at the moment and I feel quite Zen about it all.If it works than great.......I am not scared of hard work.If it doesnt then find another way.
I have so many people too catch up with.so many e-mails to write but I am exhausted ,honestly really tired...........
ZSo I guess I will get to it when the mood and the energy arises!
Off to adelaide in 2 weeks so I know that I will get lots of sleep when I am with J-ster! I reckon we are going to take great joy in competeing with each other over who can sleep the longest! Ahhhhhhhhhhh..........cant wait!

Fantasy

Right now I wish I was on a beautiful sunny beach listening to the ocean lapping up on the shore,lying next to a beautiful man with big hands to rub massage oil all over me..........
THE REALITY IS 12 HOURS OF FULL ON STUDY A DAY FOR THE NEXT 12 DAYS............
I have a stinking cold that I am supressing like a bastard and fuzziness in my brain which is in no way conducive to the amount of focus and concentration I have to produce............
I wish I had something of more interest to write..............With the amount of information floating aroung in the head I probably do but I just dont have the time!
I just wanted to pop in and moan a bit! I am a brit after all..........ist that what we are good at??
Oh an dby the way.........sorry to the japanese for your loss.Congrats to the Ozzies and go Brazil.......I love brazil! Although I dont say that too loudly over here at the moment~! The atmosphere is tense!

Another one down and 6 more to go!

Shit........I am tired already!
I have 6 more finals to go and then I can rest for a bit!
I had my Point Location exam yesterday which I got 100% in and a written exam to go with it which I am prety sure I did ok in.
I saw the value yesterday in being present in all my lessons and talking with my lecturer ,being interested and keen and a tad anxious.
Practical location exams are a bit like a driving test and I fall to pieces!
We get a list of points to locate on a partner and then one of the 3 lecturers comes around to tick them off or cross them off depending on wether you have found the point......I dont do well in these kinds of situations,my mind goes blank and all the hard work and effort that I put in just flies out of my mind.I look at the first point and think......crap where the hell is that....???????!!!! Take a deep breath and push on!
Last night there were 3 points that I got wrong.One was a simple mistake.I confused it with another and my lecturer said that I should think about that point and e would come back.Immediately I knew what I had done wrong and corrected my mistake.
The second was more interpretation over the anatomical location and it was a tricky point to find......I located where I thought it was and the lecturer came over and asked me to justify it ,which I did and then he told me that he thought the Greater trochanter was a little lower than that,to which I replied that he should go away and come back and I would re locate it! Which he did and I got the mark!
The 3rd was just a total blank.........lecturer standing over my shoulder.......he knew I knew the point I knew I knew the point and we were both standing there waiting for it to come...........2 minutes is a long time when you are under pressure.....located it once .........nope...think about it............located it twice.....comon sarah ..........you do know this point.....3rd time got it!
So I got lucky.There were students there who were not as present as me or outwardly keen or anxious who did the same thing and didnt get the slack I did.......so I am grateful and thankful for the faith that my lecturers have in me.
Lesson........get to know them,talk to them about yourself,ask them about themselves,show your fear and anxiety.........let them know how you fair in situations like practical exams.........and relax.........
So I should be really happy about the grade and I am ,but I do feel like I had my hand held ,which I guess is okay.

Okay , Two major exams done.I feel good about them. I am pretty sure I passed and may have passed well.Admitedly origins,insertions and actions of muscles are not my forte but we are slowly becoming friends.I also now know what an acromioclavicular ligament will do to your shoulder if ripped and what a worn menisci will do to your knees........Its all coming together to make me very knowledgeable about Muscular Skeletal workings.............but ..............I now have to change beat for big exam number 4 (of 11 that i will have in the month) Point location. 120 points to remember and their anatomical location.
Let me elaborate.
Imagine 120 sentences like this:

1.5 cun lateral to the midline at the level of the 4th sacral foramen.This is close to the corner or inferior lateral angle of the sacrum.Bands of the sacro-illiac ligamnets and origin of gluteus Maximus can be felt here.


Hmmmmmmmm..........not particularly fun to memorise or then additionaly to locate.
Wish me luck........up for air after tuesday .
