D-O-N-E!!!

YAY, another set of exams D-O-N-E!!! We just have to wait for results and if all goes well, none of us at the Saffron Liger house will have any supps. Then we can officially say that the semester is over. For now though, it's just nice not to have to think about anything and having the pressure of passing. It was a fairly relaxing semester but it'll always be in the back of your mind.

Anyways, I'm off to Broome this late afternoon where it's 30 degreess all year round and only goes down to about 15 degrees at night. I'll take lots of pics for all of you. Talk to you in a week!!!

Plans for after exam

Four written exams down so far and only one more tomorrow. Then only two days of prac exams before this semester is officially over. I can't wait, although this semester has gone by extremely fast and was quite enjoyable.

Immediately after exams I am planning to go up to Broome for a week with some of my housemates. There was a really good flight special going on a few months back so we decided to jump on it. I didn't think I would get a chance to go up there because it is so far up north. I heard it was really amazing up there. Broome's known for its camel rides, rising moon, and like all of Australia, it's amazing National Parks. We're actually camping on the beach where you can watch the moon rise. It'll be amazing.

Then when I get back I have to start my self directed placement. Basically we do our prac on anything we want as long as its for 90 hours. You can either find your own supervisor and organize a topic or choose form a list that the school has organized. A lot of people are doing things like making a pamphlet or poster, just to get it done fast and something supposedly easy. I, however, wanted to do something in ergonomics and something that would be really challenging. I'm going to be working at Worksafe WA and they are giving me my own office or workstation and a laptop. Geez I feel like it's a real job. I went to visit the office earlier this week and it looked so professional with everyone dressed up in business suits and all. Oh and I'll actually be going out for two weeks doing Ergonomic Assessments with one of the ergo inspectors. How cool is that? Okay, maybe not to anyone else but I love ergonomics/biomechanics and this really excites me.

Exams

Another semester has flew by and exams are just a week away. We have study week right now and it just seems to be dragging on. Compared to last year, there isn't as much to material to go through so it's so hard to find the motivation to study. I feel fairly confident in my ability to pass but you just never know, especially with this school. I almost wish the exams would start already so we can get it over with.

I'll write more later when I get extremely restless. I do have some exciting things to forward to after the exams but keep you all in suspense until my next entry.
