Today in a lecture...

...my lecturer said:
"...When you will be applying for jobs in 18 months time!"
Woahhhhhh!!! Oh my gosh, it feels so close now I just can't wait to qualify!! Nearly half way through already, now that is scary!!!
Just finished and marked my statistics work book - which I was pleasantly surprised about as I got over 90% correct, and the practice MCQs was over 60%. So not too concerned about that exam, which takes the pressure of it, and the revision (a little bit!); I can spend more time on my EOP2 exam revision and prep then, which is good.
Just going to do a practice exam for EOP 2 once I've posted this - just to gain some insight as to what areas I need to work on.
Oh, and I want to make an appointment with the OT clinic so I can 'gain experience and understanding of assessments and interventions' which only sounds like a good thing!

I really can't get my head around how quickly uni is going, I mean we're already in our 6th week of teaching, and I've been in Oxford for 7 weeks now. That's just crazy!

I‘m starting to accumulate a long list of people to receive a ‘thank you’ card at the end of this!!! Think I’ll have to bulk buy… Hello pound land… Wait, I’ll have qualified, got a job and have money, so no, not hello pound land, but Hello (insert generic card shop name here) .
That is the hope anyway, the plan, what I’ve worked for the past 2, well 4 years. Now I’m focused on a goal, all of that can be the means to the end, and I can’t wait, I can see it, arms outreached I can almost grab it… just 3 years of hard work to achieve it, that doesn’t seem so hard in the long run. Right?
Already a third of the way through the first semester!!!
Geeky and whatnot I know, but…



Assignments and due dates for my first semester

*OSCE: week 12 **

“the mcq is in. but we should be done week 12. Just pray for no resit on the osce hahah.” (Don’t you think this sounds like we are talking in another language? If this is the vocab now, what happens when I’m qualified, will only other OTs understand me?!) **
It's all going so quick, it was summer, then start of uni, now it's soon Halloween, bonfire night, xmas, new year, placement, back at uni, valentines day, Easter, end of semester. SCARY!!

Oh and to prove I’m not always studying and not a total failure as a student...


**OSCE is the practical exam I have for my skills module.

For example Splinting, wheelchairs etc.
