The Fire Still Burns

So basically I have 5 days of clinicals left, before going back to uni. I like to refer to the whole uni experience as the 'uni grind', but I've never been happier to get back to it. Maybe because this time I was alone for this clinical. There's no one else at my place and I hardly run into the other students at Gosford Hospital. Meh...

Right now I'm typing up a case study. It about one procedure I've done and you have to justify what you did and reflect on it. The limit is 1000 words, but my first draft barely made it past 250. So now I'm making some stuff up, and using longer phrases instead of simpler ones. It's actually a bit of a challenge. I used to write a lot and in detail, but my English tutor noted that I was beating around the bush most of the time and that I'd never be able to write everything I wanted in the HSC. So we spent some time cutting out the bull and focus on making my writing more concise. It worked, but sometimes I wonder if it worked to well. The first draft was very concise, almost dot-pointish in style, if that makes any sense.

I really want a new computer to replace my old one. It's like 4 years old now, and its starting to choke even in normal tasks and I don't have much running in the background. Can't play some of the games I want, and any video that is remotely HD lags really badly. Price is the deciding factor as always. I really want to get some part-time/casual job of some sort, but this year has been ridiculous because of all the clinicals getting in the way. Might see if I can find some short term casual work just for a bit more money.

Blargh...might as well get this case study over and done with.
