Almost the last day of clinic!

Well well, my last day of clinic at the Royal Children's is tomorrow! I've had a really great time there, it's been totally full on at times but also really rewarding. Kids can be little brats but they can also be so cute! At times I was really sad walking around the hospital because there's so many sick kids there who are suffering along with their families, but, as all physios end up doing, I tried to detach myself emotionally from everything. But I can still safely say that they're still all so cute!

Case presentation was on Tuesday, it went OK, I presented on PTA in children. It was a really interesting topic and I met with the Neuropsychologist to get some more information! Was a lot of work so I'm glad it's over now...

Pub crawl was last night! I wasn't going to go because I'd already made an appointment with Mandy at the Prahran gym for her to take me around (30 day free pass). I went with Mattie, did BodyPump (am SOOO sore today!) and we got home by 8:30pm, had tea etc.... then I was going to drop Matt off at the pub and realised that it was totally pointless for me not to go in! Thongs on, crappy clothes and no makeup! Haha. Despite this, I honestly forgot how much I miss everyone during the year! Last year I lived in my own little world with a lot of association with Mattie and B, physios and footy players, kind of forgetting about all the awesome friends I made at college over the past couple of years! I had so much fun and really really wanted to stay for longer and drink damnit!!... but I'm such a sook and can't handle being tired, especially at clinics. I had to get up at 7:30am and struggled as it was, being in bed by midnight! I don't know how I handled first year! Honestly schmonestly! The whole of first semester in first year I went on about 3hrs of sleep every night! Although admittedly I was kind of a wreck at the end of the semester, but still, I survived!! CRAZY

I was going to go to footy training with Bahry tonight but Ant messaged me and said don't worry about it so I have a night off! I really want to go and do BodyCombat at the gym but I'm way too sore! I wish I could just wish away my DOMS and go crazy! D'oh!

Heaps of people are leaving Australia soon! Bye Dylan, Lish, Penny, Aiden, WORLD! :-( Anyway Mattie's home so I'd better jet! He left about 45mins ago determined to go and get a haircut and has just returned with one! Damn it boys, I would never be able to do that, girls have to make appointments!!! Although I haven't had my hair cut in a looooooooong time. Shh, don't tell anyone!

Yay, beach day!

Hello all

The fight with Tim has officially ended, with him ringing me last night and apologising for calling me a snob. I then felt compelled to apologise for reacting so viciously. Still think that my response was substantiated though, considering he only sms'd me at 11:30pm to tell me where he was, clearly I'd given up on him by then! Anyway, hakuna mattata.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. I'm going to meet the girls (and Pete) at the beach. It's meant to be 32 degrees and sunny. I've been waiting for this day for a looong time. I've been going down to the beach fairly regularly, but you honestly can't beat the company, it makes it all the more fun. I got a message from Jess Banner today to tell me that she's moving to Perth- I'm so excited for her, and I reckon I'll be joining her in a couple of years! GO WEST COAST! Good times.

Anyway, I'd better go and wrap my brother's Xmas present, I got him the Matt Tilly gotcha call CD because those calls really shit me up the wall... and anything that shits me up the wall he really takes a liking for! Plus, he loves the comedy. Alas, I fear now that I'll be hearing WAYY too much of Matt Tilly and my head will be spinning in circles by the time I start my placement on the 3rd of January. Oh well, at least I have someone to blame! Haha.

Have a good one guys.

Oh and by the way, do you know what people do in Thailand if they get boxed in? The boxer-innerer leaves their handbrake off so that the person who's boxed in is able to push their car out of the way! Can you imagine if that system was implemented in Australia? No way Jose. It would be one mad country with a lot of angry folk!

Wassuppp ma homies?!

Well, well, well, we meet again! Who would've thought? Long time no type! Yes, I went to Missy and Ben, and it was one the best concerts I've ever been to. Subsequently I fell in LOVE with beautiful Ben Lee and his eternally happy music. I actually went as far to tell one of the weird guys from Physio that Ben Lee was in fact my boyfriend, and he believed me! I then went on to tell him that I had to go because he had just come over and was setting up his DJ equipment to fuel our post-exam party! What a gullible boy. And everything thinks that I'm bad!! All that we had going was a cocktail night with all the girls (and Stefan) and then went out in the city to Billboards. Was fully sick mate! We were all wearing our awesome cocktail dresses so let's just say that we got a bit of attention from the boys when we were out. Including Chris, who really really really didn't want it! She was wearing the happy birthday headband and was really beating them off with a stick! When we were out we met this guy called Ben who I swear looked like the lead singer from Coldplay, he was very entertaining!!

I finished my exams early in November, so I had the rest of November to chill, do my Level 2 Sports Trainer's certificate (funded by the Yarraville Football Club, thank you very much, $500 later!!), volunteer for a Neuro/Geriatrics conference and enjoyed pissing Mattie off by doing nothing while he had to study all day. Poor boy! Anyways, that was fun, and I arrived back in Warrnambool on the last Saturday in November to attend Laura's 21st. What a night it was. It had been at least 2 weeks since I last had a drink so it felt like 2 years, we hit the Gal for about 45 minutes then ended up back at her place dancing in her living room! It was great!!

Last weekend I went up to Ballarat to visit Laura again and we had the leftover drinks from her 21st, which also turned out to be a great night. My school friends are legends, I've missed them so much when I've been in Melbourne, although while I'm there I don't realise it!

This week I'm going to go for a walk along the beach with Jane and play tennis with Em, Pete and maybe Jane/Hayden. Then it's xmas, where we inevitably are going to the Coates' house for lunch (they have two annoying little boys so I spend my xmas day trying to stop myself from being violent!), and after that (on the 28th) we're heading up to Melbourne to see the Lion King. Then New Years in Melbourne, then I begin my placement in Warrnambool on the 3rd Jan. Will be up in Melbourne for the weekends of the 14th and 28th, as I have 21sts and am going to the Australian Open! Hope to see y'all there!

Can't wait to see all my Physio homies who have been overseas for the past month, they are going to have so many awesome stories to tell me!! Let me know when you get back Terence!!

Love y'all!

Peek a boo at cardio clinic!

STudy sCHmudy

That's all i have to say, except for WHAT IS WITH THE UNDERLINING? I can't get rid of it!... AGAIN!?!

OH! AND I'm going to see Missy Higgins and Ben Lee perform in 3 days! WOOOOT!

wow!

Michael and I at the races

Wow, it seems like i still have readers after all this time! How awesome! Michael sent me a photo of us at race day on Saturday, so check it out!

Got my clinical exam tomorrow worth 10% i think? Not really stressed about it, don't know why. I have one of the coolest supervisors on the planet. Toby. He's seriously awesome. He's so relaxed and fun to be around, he even starts practicing his golf swing in the middle of the gym with a SPS! It's really hilarious. He's 29 but he looks about 22, and reckons he has never had to do a cardio placement or auscultate a chest his whole life (and if he was asked to auscultate he wouldn't have a clue what to listen for!). He isn't that much help in a knowledge-base kind of a way, but he's great company!

Better get to organising my subjective and objective assessments! Woo hoo. Can't wait til I can drink drink drink and partayyyyyyy!

JAC'S BACKKKKKKK

Hi everyone!

How are you all? I bet no one even reads this blog any more because I haven't updated it in so long! I'm sorry! Been busy. Quite very considerably busy! Yesterday I went with Ilks, Stefan, Michael, Rhi and Ash to the Caufield Cup for the first time ever... it was SO much fun! I can't believe how great a time I had. Seriously, horse racing has never really appealed to me- but the day was great, it didn't seem really that much about horse racing, just about dressing up, having a few drinks and basking in the beautiful Spring sunshine! I totally loved it! Tell you what, there were so many people there though.

Every arrived classily, looking totally gorgeous in their frocks and suits- but by the end people were stumbling around barefoot, looking kind of vague, trying to figure out which direction they were supposed to be going in and yelling like hooligans! It was hilarious! They even had those people in gowns from the Carlton Draught ad! It was totally cool! Not to mention the fact that I snuck a drink bottle of goon in despite thorough bag inspections :p. Ahh I'm so nifty... and tight!

Oh my gosh, I wish I could go to the Melbourne Cup! If only it wasn't during exams!

...Although I guess exams aren't stopping me from going to the Missy Higgins and Ben Lee concert that's going to happen on the 31st October (the night before our first exam apparently)! Bring it on BIYUTCH! Yayyyy! Cheers guys and please comment if you actually read this blog! HAHA. Should be interesting.

Love life update

Just thought I'd fill you in on the latest in Jac's soap opera love life... it's now officially on the UP. Proud to say it. Hoo-ray-zuh!

Recent happenings

Well, well, well. What can I say? This blog has kind of been neglected over the past few months- and I reassure my friends that I am still alive and kicking! I'm halfway through my Neuro placement at Sunshine Hospital at the moment, which is going well. I don't really enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Cardio at RMH but you get that, and I'm glad that I'm experiencing this area of Physio now rather than later when I'm graduated. At least I know now what to avoid!

Footy is going well, there are 4 games left of this season and then I'll have my Saturdays back! Should be great... but I'm also going to miss the social side of it all. I've enjoyed being crazy and going out every weekend, but I think it'll be great also to just sit and chill out for a while. Also to catch up with people I haven't seen in donkey's years!

I made a phone cover for my mobile last night. Matt thinks it's crap and that I'm going to change it within a week. I'm going to leave it on for months. I hope that I don't get sick of it... even if I do, I'm going to stay in denial. MUST WIN.

Alright, I have to go to work. It's sunny today so I'm stoked. Perhaps it won't be such a bad day after all. Going out to Trader Bar with Adrian and friends tonight, then out to Billboards a bit later on to meet the footy boys who will be plastered. Hawhaw I love their antics, they're seriously so entertaining.

Love y'all!

advice

just a word of advice, please don't ask me about my love life because i don't want to talk about it- as always, it is shambles.

goss update

yeah i know i haven't written in this blog in ages, truth is, i have been blogging at another site! but the other site is an absolute secret and contains information that none of you will ever know about me. yes, that's right. it holds my deepest darkest secrets! hawhaw, not really, but you get the picture. so i've been distracted by this newer, more spiffy blog and have neglected to update you all on what has been happening!

i'm into my final week of cardio placement at rmh next week. it's been such a great experience, i really want to keep going with it! but at the same time i can't wait to have a 3 week holiday and then a week of uni, it's going to be slack as! yayyy. my supervisors have been awesome so far, even though heaps of people were saying that leonie was going to be a bitch and make all the girls cry, i found her to be quite nice! you just have to know how to take her i guess. plus, in third year they don't expect as much from us i suppose. fourth year is going to be the real test.

footy is going really well, i'm getting to know all of the guys quite well now. it's great, i can go there and feel comfortable starting up a conversation with anyone there, and i know all of their names now which is awesome. it means that when they all queue up for a rub i can remember who was next and yell out their name. i think they've all got a lot more respect for me as well since i've been working for the club for more than a year now and also since i've been making a huge effort to get to know them all and attend the social functions.

i've met a guy at footy, he's the cutest guy ever. name is chris winks or "winksy". i've always thought he was a cutie but never really considered the option of hooking up with him. then when he showed interest we just hit it off. went on a date with him about 1.5 weeks ago to the movies, i was a bit scared to start off with but when i hang around with him it's all so casual and he makes me feel relaxed. on the other hand, i think he was shitting himself! i think maybe that's why i wasn't so nervous, cos i knew that he would be a lot worse than i would! anyway, since we first kissed on the footy cross-dressing night i've been seeing him a bit, nothing is official by all means but i guess what i'm trying to say is that we have potential. that is, if he becomes more willing to hang out with me when he's not around all his friends. half the times i've kissed him has been in front of his friends, so i'm hoping that'll change!

anyways, that's the goss. going to dane's tonight for a delicious dinner no doubt! yayyy i get to see everyone again! i haven't seen so many collegians in ages, i'm just lazy and so incredibly busy! and i've been preoccupied with footy... oops! heheee

gotta run but i wuv you all! xx

hollywood dress-up night

winksy (austin powers), he's a cutie!

silky (nelly) and thorny (disco stew), love 'em!

so yeah

It's ok, i'm still alive, just living it up since i'm FREE now! Yeee-harrrr. Finished exams on Friday and haven't had a good night's sleep since, unfortunately! I'm looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning, it's going to be so nice. But this weekend has been so worth it! Went to Dyls' on Friday night, then had a cocktail night with Stefan, Chris, Mattie and Sam, then worked all Saturday...

THEN drove to Bendigo for Carina's 21st, which ended up being a pretty good night. THEN drove back to Melbs again, THEN woke up at 8:00am this morning to drive Pete to Spencer St. Man! I'm a machine! And that's after a week of non-sleep and nonsense! Yeah-ii-yeah!

I can't be bothered writing any more. Sorry Dane! x

learner on the roads

cal has just got his L plates- and promptly crashed into his friends recycling bin. apparently he's now a member of the WORM

a Warrnambool Opposed to Recycling Modules group- these boys have too much time on their hands i say! me? i can't even figure out how to get this gay underlining thing to stop happening! hmmmmm....

Footy training is tomorrow YAYYY, I can't wait!

Lynda

Check out my cuz from England! Aint she a cutie?

Balls

Guess what the theme for the Physio Ball is? Dress to get lei'd! How funny is that? I think it's extra funny, and quite controversial. I can't wait! But there's still about a month to go, so I'll just have to hang in there!....

Whitley Ball is on this Thursday, should be good to see everyone again all dressed up to the 9s. I can't wait to dance, I haven't had a proper night out in ages so this should be the perfect opportunity. It's also my last day of uni for the semester, and 4 days before my exams but whatever. We have to sacrifice some things, and I'd much rather be partying than couped up in my room studying cerebellar ataxia! As interesting as it is....

Footy cross-dressing night is coming up. Initially I wasn't going to go, but I've decided I'm going now- I'll go shopping in the op-shop on my week off for some footy shorts, socks and jumper. I'm going to take the piss, and it's going to be oh so funny! I'm going to laugh so much at all their attempts to look feminine. Good luck to 'em!

Mark rang me today and asked whether I could try to find another trainer to work with us- so I'll be asking around at uni etc.! It'll be cool having someone from uni there, although I kind of like the fact that this a whole new social circle! Oh well, at least I'll have someone to share taxis with!

Stooze me

Stooze me but I have great news. The new *PIMP BLOG* has been started by the almighty Kuronai. Please check it out. It will be well worth your while. This man is one of those niggi's.
