This year in chem lab they're being really hardass, and I was fearing for my results last week. I came home to find out I got a 9/10. Yay! Edit: Also, I only just realised when this semester started that if I chose anatomy, I could do Forensic Osteology next year which sounds so good. Sadly though, I didn't fulfill the prerequisites for a particular unit and the lady running the discipline wasn't very happy giving me special permission to take the subject. After a while of asking, I finally pulled out my last card which was some uni-related course I did three years ago in high school, and that was enough to convince her. Yay, now I can learn things that I'll enjoy. Chroisman has a new favorite as of 13:03 on Mar 8, 2011 |

Mine is more a series of three days. Friday: I was at the bus stop waiting for my bus, and a nice old lady came who couldn't read the small print of the timetable and asked me when her bus was coming. It was coming in 40 minutes, which was quite a wait in the cold(ish) weather. Since I don't live that far away from the bus stop and my afternoon was relatively free, I stayed at the bus stop to keep her company and chat with her even though loads of buses I could have taken passed by during that time. We had a lovely chat about my uni life and aspirations, and her friends and her medical conditions and how she handles them. I really hope I made her day, but I reckon I had a really good time too. I've never had such a nice lengthy chat with any strangers before. Saturday: Work in the morning, which went well. Then in the early afternoon I was going out to meet some friends in the CBD to hang out and go for dinner later. Right after the bus left the bus stop, a pretty bad car accident happened right in front of the bus. I got off the bus and basically took control of the scene until the ambulance and police arrived. I've been a St. John Ambulance volunteer for about a year, but this is the biggest thing I've ever done. Think of it this way - I basically made the jump from giving people bandaids and telling them to put them on themselves, to handling a serious car accident. Dinner that night was great too. Sunday: I had a St. John duty today, and the people doing the duty with me are good friends so we had a great time, especially since we only had to treat a couple of kids who grazed their knees, and spent the rest of the day playing around and having a great time. Also, before Saturday, I was well aware that I was usually not self-confident to the point where I would kind of drift into the background of a crowd because I was afraid to make myself known, or I wasn't confident in my abilities. After handling the car accident yesterday, I've been really proud and confident of myself and it feels amazing.
