Get Ready to divide by zero

Been back at uni for 2 weeks now, and have nicely settled back into old routine. Being back with friends, there's nothing better that that I reckon.

New clinical placements have been released and this time I'm being shipping off to Nepean Hospital. Not that far away, but still a bit of a train trip. I don't really mind though since I can still commute there every day and not have to worry about living and surviving in a place far from home for six weeks.

Much shorter uni semester for me this time. I've only got 7 weeks to cram information into my brain before exams bludgeon me. The course only has two subjects this year, so its pretty good being at uni for 2.5 days a week. The exams will be tricky, but I've passed before so I'm half certain that I'll pass again. The practical exam has me worried though. There's always luck involved whether you get an easy projection or a harder one or a easy or hard examiner. It's gonna be tough.

Ohh and LHC went live today, although they just did a test run, not the massive proton smashing to find the Higgs boson. So the world ends in October if all the science nutjobs believe so. During my prac class, the lecturer asked if anyone knew about LHC and its objectives and I was the only one who piped up. My friends sitting next to me were like "Woah! You know this physics?". I always had an interest for physics. It just seem to explain the reality I lived in so well. Probably started when my dad bought me A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. I miss physics back in high school. Those were some fun times right there.

Man I need a drink.

Hi Steeven.

Nepean doesn't sound too bad. Let me know how it goes; I might be sent there for my placement next year. This year I was out of my area though; Prince of Wales? *what??*

My head hurts.

Betcha you'll get bored of uni soon.

And my bf reckons he can do better knee x-rays than you. I wouldn't take that, Steven. Maybe you can stab him with syringes full of contrast, or whatever. LOL >_>
