If you hear on the news of a family in the Wigston area being murdered and the eldest daughter having not been seen since... well, don't tell anyone where I am, ok ( Read more... )

Bonjour, hola and hello! Long time no speakies, and this isn't going to be a long entry because I want a bath before I go out dancing! =)

So, where have I been?? Well, just about, but so little's been happening, it's not really seemed journal-worthy. So the highlights...

• I passed placement with an 'Exceeds expectations' grade, which I was very happy ( Read more... )

Generally good things about not living at Aspley anymore:

• I'm nearer the train station for the daily commute to Wakefield.
• I no longer pass the union shop, Boots or the Kingsgate Centre, so I spend less money on chocolate/magazines, meal deals and clothes/CDs/DVDs on my way to and from the train station
  
• In theory I only have to spend half the money on ( Read more... )

It's just hit me how scarily close I am to qualifying. It's terrifying.

I've been clearing my room out due to the big move out this weekend (I say move out, just moving across town) and have found loads of stuff from the last three years. Most of it crap, I was fairly ruthless and chucked all my old handbooks out, along with a copy of the ( Read more... )

'Ello my chickens. I've not written in so long, not for lack of trying or lack of anything to write, just being too busy and tired ( Read more... )

Well, the last two weeks have flown by. I can't believe that by the end of the week, I'll be a third of the way through my placement. Bizarre ( Read more... )

Just a quick update to let you all know...

I passed my driving test! Hurrah! =) 9 minors which isn't great, but still a pass.

I really want to go driving now but can't til dad sorts the insurance (they wouldn't let me do it) and he's in a work meeting at the moment. =S

I need two more references for an essay then I am done. Like, completely. Forever (unless I get a referred assignment, please no!). It's a strange feeling, I keep wondering to myself where the hell the last three years have gone. It doesn't seem two minutes since I was moving into Storthes. Saying that, I feel old now, I can't remember what the ( Read more... )

I read yesterday in the highly reliable and well written Metro, that the top female role model for girls and women under 25 is Amy Winehouse. This worries me a great deal, sure the girl writes good songs and has a great voice (apart from when she's talking, urgh, horrible Southern accent) but a role model? Really??! This worries me, as I now wonder ( Read more... )

I've just been asked if I want to do a role emerging placement! Role emerging is when there aren't OTs working in the area at the moment, but there is a need for it, so quite often they like to shove a student OT there to trial it and see if it would be worth employing a real OT. We were told about the placement last week, and they said that two ( Read more... )
