  • 2 days into my clinicals and I'm exhausted. Not from the tons of patients I see but from sheer travelling and standing. I can count the number of hours I spend sitting down - during lunch, in the train if I'm blessed to have a seat in front of me and be extremely foolish if I refuse it. Even reading and writing case notes is done standing up! Now, my knees, ankles and back are hurting. I'm going to rub some ointment, which my mother claims works, on later.

    I'm tired and I really need sleep. Travelling to a workplace very far from home is really sleep-depriving, time-wasting and extremely exhausting! Travelling to buona vista and having to stand for nearly 7 hours every day is no joke. Try doing it. Well, I know I should nor be complaining as there are many other jobs which require a lot of standing like hawkers, security guards and salesgirls.

    Alright, I need to google some conditions.

  • I'm tired of doing my pre-clinicals even though there are only 3 questions. But when one question is worth 36 marks, you must literally squeeze out your brain cells to think of plausible and logical reasons.

    When the whole world is having holidays, here I am having my clinicals. And good luck to me for all the travelling that I need to do. Loss sleep, lethargy, and a piling workload will be my life. As it is, I already have a lot of assignments to complete during my clinicals.

    Oh yes, having to wait for 8 hours and having been in school for more than 12 hours to take a practical exam is really no joke! That was what exactly happened to me on Thursday though my scheduled practical time was at 530 but I only went in at 830.

    Alright, back to my pre-clinicals!

  • I had a very nice Deepavali. I was supposed to go out and study with friends but I decided that I needed a break and badly wanted to watch a movie. Being a public holiday, I went out with my cousins to watch the movie. It's such a fantastic story and left me smiling at the end.And yes, I'm so in love with the song.:)

    I had a briefing on mu clinical attachment and somehow, it really scares me. It will be the first time I'm handling patients and I do get paranoid if I'm not able to do a good job or worse, a patient falling or collapsing on me. I guess this clinical placement is make or break - it gives you a rough idea on the job scope.

    I'm so stressed out as I've forgotten most of my stuffs and I'm always short of time to refresh my memory. Hope I will not fumble.

  • I was not able to join the girls for jalan raya yesterday due to school. Imagine having lessons on a Saturday, and having finished school, half the day is already gone! No one starts their day at 530 in the morning on a Saturday!

    Despite feeling lethargic, sleepy and lazy, I somehow managed to trudge myself to school by 8am. Oh well, the sacrifices one has to make. You miss one lesson, and you'll be lost forever. Welcome to the life of a physiotherapy student!

    I currently have to search for journals for my neurophysiotherapy presentation and a million other journal to read by tomorrow. And it doesn't help that I still have to go visiting even though it is almost the end of hari raya already.

    I hate it when every time I put my future plans in perspective, external circumstance must come in. And I hate it even more when I still have to continually worry about academic matters even at this stage, in search of that elusive degree just because there is no straight degree programme in physiotherapy in your own country. You need us in the long run due to the ageing population, yet nothing is being done. How pathetic can that be?

    In times like this, it makes me think if going through this path was the right decision. Would I have been better off if I had taken the more safe, expected route? These things make me feel so disillusioned and jaded. It happened in my first year, last semester and now, the feeling kicks in again. Everytime.

    Because of this, my social life is non-existent, constantly in isolation, fending for myself.

    My entry is quite disjointed and very incoherent. Words kill me sometimes and I'm not particularly good with words.
