University!

The one morning that I walked to Uni on the first half semester I took some photos, This is of the main campus- it was a rather crisp and fresh morning with fog about.

Over the hill- there it is! That taller building on the right is the library.



Bit foggy here, but that is the building where majority of my lectures are held. 

Assignment writing and researching

I spend a lot, and I mean a lot of my time researching instead of writing the actual assignment when I do sit down to start and or finish them... I have so far written three essays and I have another two to write, with clinical assessments, quizzes and clinical documents to complete as well within the next month or so before I go on exam leave, sit my exams and then say goodbye to my first semester of Uni!

This is what my study looks like....


Writing my first essay




Our first year nurses Facebook page :) 
This wasn't procrastination on Facebook, it was using other peoples questions, and comments to help me to research for the essay.


Don't know how to turn it around on here, but this is my name badge and watch for clinical :)

Easter Break!

Mid-semester break has now come! Which also means that it is Easter :)

It is actually almost a week into my mid-semester break, but I have been busy over the weekend and beginning of the week doing... I don't actually know what.  And today I have spent writing my psychology essay which is due in a week and a half on the first day back after break.

Today we had the floor fixed and new vinyl put down as when I first moved in here we had rotten floor boards in the laundry space which hadn't been declared or anything said to the property maintenance people.

Yesterday I finally got my flu shot- I wanted to get it when it first became available but I was trying to make sure I wasn't going to be scheduled to be on clinical placement incase I reacted to it and became sick, as I know some people do and I hadn't had one before.

I have handed multiple assignments in and done two mid-semester tests now, and I only have three results back over all, so waiting waiting for the rest of them.  It takes about three weeks for each mark to come back, mainly for essays.  I have three more essays/ assignments to hand in throughout the second half of the semester and then also my exams which are in the first half of June before I go on a 3 week long break between first and second semesters!
