Monday Bloody Monday

Paintball on Sunday was hella fun. We shot each other up, had pizza for lunch and had a great time. Many thanks to Olly's sister for organising the whole shebang. It was pretty much the same like other paintball places except there was no limit on distance of shooting, so you could shoot someone at point-blank range. Which hurts. A lot. I was peppered with loads of shot yesterday, so now I'm feeling the effects of all the bruises. And my legs hurt a bit. I guess they weren't used to the run-cos-you're-being-shot-at pace, so it's probably just some DMS. What? Oh that! DMS is Duke of Ed speak for Delayed Muscle Stress. Basically, you body gets used to trekking 20km a day with a heavy backpack, and you don't really feel all the sore. But when you get home, sleep and wake up the next day, the pain catches up and you feel really sore.

Today was cool, because we had our Anatomy practical. It went for 2 whole hours. Most of it was basically, filling in some sheets, but it was interesting to learn the names of the structures of the bones, like the trochanter, fossa and sulcus. In the last fifteen minutes, the teacher unveiled an embalmed arm and leg, along with other bits and pieces from the lower and upper limbs. It was disgusting, but we couldn't look away. It was captivating, in a way. This was actually someone's limbs, donated to science so that we could learn. It wasn't indepth, I mean, he just pointed out some of the major muscles. But, yeah, amazing stuff.

Then came a 3 hour gap. It was hella boring because there was nothing much to do. Lunch took up only 20 minutes, and we spent the rest of the time wandering the library, chatting to each other and trading stories. I also met some new friends! So it wasn't that bad. Just long. I happened to meet Sophia, Amanda and Rachel and we traded some stories about our courses. Speech Pathology is so different. It's interesting to know some of the stuff they are learning. I briefly saw Cindy, but she was hurrying into a lecture and I didn't get to say hi. Also saw Kevin Nguyen, who is doing Physio. Nice to know that Seftoners can still run into each other, despite our separate paths.

Off to do some study. Revision is so important. So here's a random picture of some hot chick to compensate the shortish post today.
