I'm not procrastinating... =]

Haha, yes I am almost fully back to nerd mode, but its not such a bad thing seeing as tho I have been relaxing for the past couple of days while pretty much everyone else has been up til midnight or even later trying to get their assessments done. LOL! and apparently my topic was hard, but it wasn't THAT bad, bits of really random stuff about chemical synaptic transmissions and IPSP and EPSP which I still don't get but whatever, it doesnt count =] and if anyone has asked for my help for anything, ever... u cannot bag me out for being such a nerd because u benefited from it at some point or other!!

anyway, this is one of the boring ones because we have a portfolio draft we hafta do pretty soon.

So, we had a presentation last week about immunisation. my key learning issue was the government regulations associated with the immunisation of medical students. basically, if we do not get immunised, and someone catches a disease from us BECAUSE we're not immunised, we could get financially bitch-slapped in the face and also front up to criminal prosecution. most of the people i did my presentation to already did the immunisation stuff so it wasnt such a big deal, but still... if one of us got sued, it would be soooo bad, especially seeing as though we havnt even made any money yet!

anyway, the presentation went alrite i suppose. Everyone preceeding me had very brief notes about their topic, and were just talking about it while referring to slides, or not. they were quite pro, while i had typed out my presentation, because i was too lazy to really delve into it properly xP but i had gone over it a few times so i could just randomly talk aoout bits n pieces without referring to my sheet. BUT i did go about a min and a half over time.. which wasnt so bad, but the tutor asked for my time n told me to watch it next time... while... other people who went over by up to 3 mins!!! weren't asked for their time, and they didnt realise it. so it mite hav been good for me actually, oh well =P

no one marked harshly... oh yeh, it was peer-evaluated so people in ur classed marked u on how well u perfomed. Everyone was too nice to each other and didnt really criticise much, unless it was something glaringly obvious, which is kinda gay, but considering the lack of effort most people put it i guess it didnt matter. everyone was still in the non-making-enemies stage =P

uhh, next is this project every unsw med student is getting done at varying levels of effort xP i did Sir John Carew Eccles, who was a neurophysiologist researching the mechanisms behind the transmission of nerve signals across nerve cells =] the topic was interesting, but i had no idea what they were going on about for half the time and that made it sooooooo bloody boring. and searching for the info was a bit weird, because i didnt know what to include n what not, but as long as i get good feedback from the marker (not really sure who marks these) i should be ok for next time. its so much easier for me to write up a report about something rather than writing an essay. essays are a pain in the ass. gotta be able to make up bs but i cant do that well =P il develop it to a degree eventually to get me out of tight situations later.

anyway, thats about it for the work side. not much has been happening lately, im still counting down the days til my first weekday off ever!! =D next wednesday =D and i cant freaking go to pubcrawl coz of work =_= work is sooo bloody boring now, coz its just basic maths over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... farrrrrrrrrrrk. hopefully im getting a pay rise this week, bump it up to $20 an hr xD which is a lot i suppose, but i only work 2 hrs a week =P and if i did private tutoring i could earn more... but that takes too much effort and i feel dodgy about exploiting people for a service which hasnt been proven yet xP

oh and i keep spending my money wayyyy to retardedly. i spent bloody $30 on monday on food and drinks =_= never buy a jug of beer from the unibar... its not cheaper!! and it may evn be more expensive =P coz each jug fits about 4 proper glasses for 14 bux, which is the same amount as buy 4 separate beers, BUT there is also the possibility of major spillage, so its a rip-off. and i also discovered that beer is not something i would drink purely for appreciation... tastes quite chat. alki just generally isnt very appealing anymore, unless its celebratory xP

well i better get back to doing nothing!! haha.. actually im making lecture notes =P and yes it will come in handy evntually. anyway bye bye.

OMG MY PHONE'S SPEAKERS IS DEAD!! AHHH!!! BLOODY HELL!
