Foundation Year...DONE!

I can't believe my foundation year is over! It's not strictly a year with me doing an accelerated course BUT is still feels like yesterday that I was worrying about my first day at Uni! I can't believe two placements are over and that I go in to 'branch' in September! Well actually I'm off for four weeks (YES!) have a six week placement, three weeks at Uni, six week placement then CHRISTMAS! Oh, as well as fitting in an assignment and a four hour exam (fun!) but then I will be officially half way through my course. Scary stuff!

Anyhoo I have had one week out of my four off and all I have done is work. No kidding! I feel loads better though as I was feeling as though I was really behind (mainly cos I was!) and I still feel that I'm the class dunce (cos I am!) but I feel better for being proactive and trying to work hard at catching up. Actually, I've wrote so many notes this last week I think I've done my arm in, seriously, I can't change gear properly when I'm driving as it's really sore, and even my back hurts! Oh well, it'll be worth it when I get a load of work done! I've given myself the weekend off, well that's not strictly true as I'm researching stuff for my assignment on the internet but that doesn't involve writing! We have to do our assignment on a childhood chronic condition and I'm thinking of taking a big step and doing it on a type of cancer, which is something I don't like thinking about in terms of kids, but feel that maybe I should over come that? Anyway, I've barely even started it so that might change!

What else has been going on? Ohhhh yes! We had a course night out the other week and it was so fantastic! The girls are so fabulous and lovely and I feel so lucky right now, to be doing a course I love with people who I love! Ahh I'm so soppy! Sometimes though, even now, I keep expecting the Uni to realise they've made a mistake when they sent my letter offering me a place, and maybe telling me to leave! I know it's daft but I still can't believe how lucky I was getting a place!

Righto I'd better be off, still need to get some work done, I'm here searching for journals whilst listening to good music and enjoying a nice glss of wine :o) Life is good!
