Just curious... :)

greetings.

Last week was the half term holidays, so Peter and my parents went away to Lancaster for a week's holiday. I am still doing placement, so to have a bit of company went to spend the week with Jonney and Moni. Staying in their house is good for the following reasons:

1. Snacks. These are situated at various points throughout the household, and include things like biscuits, German funky stuff, sweets and nuts, depending on the room. These are a comfort to have in close proximety when stressing over an essay that has to be in the next morning.
2. Dinners. Lovely food from a variety of diffent countries. Very nice. I remember Moni, just before serving a beautiful meal, saying 'If you don't like this, I can make some macaroni cheese'. I laughed at the preposterousnessness of it all. It seemed like the appropriate thing to do at the time. :)
3. Film nights. Oh yeah, especially with a nice projector to spice it up. These are accomanied by drinks of hot choclate and baileys...and more snacks. Life is good.
4. Hot chocolate. Please refer to above.
5. Hamster falling down the stairs in the ball. Always funny. This is a frequent event in their household as they 'forget' to close the basment door. This must give the hamster a bit of a buzz or something... Jonney and Moni were commenting about her getting a bit slow and uncoordinated in her movements. Maybe you could write your suggestions in the comments box bellow.
6. that's all..
Oh yeah! - and the company. Always a plus. :)

On friday I went up to Lancaster to spend the weekend there with the family. The hotel and area that they were staying in was really pretty and situated in the country, maybe 10 minutes from Lancaster. However, it was not quite as serene as it sounds. There were ducks outside. The annoying kind, that enjoyed being a bit vocal in the night. we should have eaten them or something. Apart from that, it was a most triumphant weekend and we were able to look around Lancaster castle go on a lovely walk and generally have a good laugh. FAnTAstic!

That is all from me now. I'm going to bed now (I've got to get up tomorrow)

there is a saying that goes: 'the early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.'

Hello reader(s)

I have just had my first few days at placement, so here I am, just about to tell you all about it. I am currently based at the Haywood hospital on a Neuro- rehabilitation ward, so it has been very interesting as we have been dealing with individuals who have had stroke etc.
Prior to going I was hoping that I would be able to get on with my placement educator, be able to talk in an informal way to her/him (so that I felt comfortable asking questions etc.) and that I would enjoy my time there. I never guessed that God would give me far more than I could ever have expected!! Settling in was no problem at all as every member of the team has been so welcoming and kind. My placement educator is the best and has involved me in numerous aspects of the work. She is only in her 20's, so I can relate well to her, and she also has a good idea of what student life is like and how best to educate me. I have thuroughly enjoyed every minute of the placement, so praise God! When in university, studying, I often have the feeling of 'I can't do this!' or that I will somehow be useless at OT. However, when on placement, it gives me a drive and I realise how much I enjoy the whole thing and then I start to think, 'hey! I can actually do this!' I suppose that I'll just have to grin and bear the essays for a little while longer...

Mornin'

I'm just in a break from lectures, so I thought that I'd write something. This week is the last week that I am in Coventry before I go on placement.
It has been quite eventful here these days. The Christian Union is preparing for mission week (next week) and we have now, officially, handed over the leadership of the CU to the new committee. I think that it will take a bit to get used to not doing small groups anymore. I will have much more time available but will miss the responsibilities and the benefits of it. Through doing small groups, my understanding of the bible has grown, so it has been very valuable. I trust that it has been for others too.

All my courework is drawing near to completion, which is nice :). Over the last few days there have been piles to do, but with God's help it is getting finished. Last friday I had the shock of discovering that I had to hand in a piece about 10 days earlier than I thought. Ouch.

At the momment we are all doing a module exploring groupwork in Occupational Therapy. For this each person leads a groupwork session of their choice, with a partner for 1 hour. The people who are not conducting the presentation have to roleplay the client group. Last week there was a art group for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. You won't believe the ammount of fun I had! MWA HA HA HA! By the end of the group the facilitators looked pretty stressed...
there will be 2 other groups this afternoon, which I'm greatly looking forward to. Don't worry. I'll go easy on them...maybe

I'll be off then.
Be excelent to each other.
