A whole new adventure...

An expression of my thoughts and feelings on my OT journey, both personal and professsional.

All I can think about at the moment is food...and neurones

Tea, toast and biscuits for dinner. Pasta when I get in later, maybe?
The lack of fruit and veg means I'm breaking out constantly. And the amount of tea and I'm drinking means I'm peeing far too often...and brushing my teeth like 3/4 times a day.
I really want salad, a whole bowl, a big bowl, a mixing bowl sized bowl, or salad, fresh crunchy salad, in a balsamic vinegarette. Possibly with sun dried tomatoes. and maybe some cheese, swiss cheese, edam, or smoked austrian. Mmmmm.
Also craving bbq food, chinese and indian food. My grandmother's Chicken and Rice, Spaghetti bolognaise and a roast. My mother's potato bake, and everything-you-find-in-the cupboard sauce chicken (usually saved for said bbq).
My usual cheese on toast made in the microwave (thanks for the tip) or jam on toast with lots o butter that I usually have at my dads.
And the MaccyDs I used to frequently (and we're talking at least once a week) have with my favourite blonde-to-brunette Sammi.



Aaaand to the neurones...I'm doing my revision and last MCQ... it's all about brains, spinal cords etc.
But on the plus side I have finished, submitted and peer marked my intervention plan. I gave 74% I think that's equivalent to 2:1. I was kind.
But the peer making does give an overview into the marking criterior, means that you learn and understand it, and know how it's applied to your work. I've done 14/30 questions on my MCQ. I hope to reach 20/30 by tonight.
Despite how much work I've got, (and trust me, it's a lot more contact hours than most courses, more independent learning than most- although less assessments, but I think that's worse, because it has to be 100% motivation for selfish reasons, not out of fear of failing a test) I love my course. Although none of this is told to you before you start the course...I learnt quickly.
It's totally me, I think. I can't wait to find out about my placement now! I think I have an idea of a possibility for accommodation. I'm excited, I just want to go now!
