back to school

First day back at Uni today. It was good and I enjoyed it….reasons being..

1.I got to see my lovely friends again. We have had no time to catch up since Christmas except on Facebook and thats all pretend. Especially Miss. P who is one of my favourite people

2. The module looks interesting…therapeutic interventions and recovery.

3. Our module leader seems pretty good. Not a patch on the last one who we all love, cause he is cool and ace, and he bought a snake to school.

4. I don’t have to look as smart every day.

5. We get to choose our own group for the presentations in May. This pleases me cause some of the people in my group are dobbins and nobbers.

6. I got 84% for my assignment, which I was well well pleased with. My highest mark since the beginning of the course.

It was like we hadn’t been away really. There’s something about Uni that makes us act like eejits it would seem. After having to be so professional and serious for 2 months solid…it took us about half an hour to revert to behaving like goons, and laughing lots at random stuff. The whitterers are still whittering on the back row, and ask questions about things that were clarified 974627294 hours ago…the know it alls are still knowing it all and the people that really piss me off by coming in very late and not apologising turned up very late. It would be odd if it were any different :)

another placement done

I finished my placement yesterday. I didn’t want to leave atall, I have enjoyed it so much. Yesterday I went to a child protection conference regarding the lady who has been on my mini caseload. It was interesting and also there was a good outcome…it was decided that with maximum supPort, the baby will be at minimal risk. Therefore no need for child protection. Good stuff.

I got lots of lovely feedback from the team which was nice. One of the nurses also made me a really nice card that they all signed. I will miss them lots. Back to school on Monday, to a mountain of coursework I expect.

I am on another diet…I haven’t cheated atall and I’m on week three. My record for a diet is 5 weeks. I have lost half a stone which I am pleased about. Rumple said that he thinks if I get to my target weight, I deserve a whole new wardrobe. Brilliant. I agree. I haven’t mentioned the diet to my Mum cos whenever I have in the past, I get grilled about how much weight I have lost etc etc, and also it turns into some big competition whereby my Mum will also diet and it just gets tiresome. I also have avoided buying a new set of scales. I know that if  they are in thebathroom, I will weigh myself three times a day. So I am just secretly weighing where I see a set.

So thats all in the life of Marge at the moment. By the way, have you ever seen a naked mole rat? if not then look for it on google images…it truly is the most repugnant creature…I love it :)
