13 emotional states of University

University. The time of your life. Or rather, a time in your life. I find that dictating how you’re “meant” to feel about something is never really helpful. We feel how we feel, then we have to recognise it and handle it and manage it. A typical example is Fresher’s week – it’s so hyped …

Actually having actual fun

So Praise the Lord I am in much better health this week! And I have done a fair few fun things 🙂 I went to Gourmet Burger Kitchen and ate a massive meal with friends! (Just to clarify, on my own wouldn’t have been so great…) The standard things is to get side dishes….but really …

First World Bug

Man, I’m so exhausted. This week has been so busy, there were two parties, cinema trip and meal with friends, gig last Friday, travelled up to Inverness to visit a friend – it’s been action packed! This is not true. This week I have had a bug so have been ladding about in my room, …

Rainbow Living

I don’t know how you’re feeling, but all the rain recently has felt quite a lot like pathetic fallacy for me (NB this is when the weather is used to echo mood for dramatic effect – yay English A Level). I loved placement, but naturally it was hard work, then I had a few weeks …

I think the next advert will be  in some kind of mental health setting: “Josh always eats Flora before his therapy sessions – as he needs energy to reach his emotional depths.” However I was alerted to this ‘delightful’ and …

Fourth Year…I can’t believe I just wrote that!

Lecturer: “I mean you’re fourth year now, so really you should always have a scientific journal article on you, to read and highlight in spare moments.” Students: stunned silence So I’ve started fourth year. It’s hard work. Long lectures, dissertation, many courseworks and the nudging pressure of knowing this is the beginning of the end. …

Legacy

I’m back – like the placement terminator. I’m home – like E.T. And I’m  full of energy…like Eeyore   Actually I’m quite tired, so I’m enjoying these two weeks at home to rest and catch up with family and friends and get lots of little jobs done – it’s gotten quite busy though. On a …

DOUZE

So there are 12 days of Christmas 12 disciples 12 chairs at a table before superstitious people get twitchy …And 12 weeks of summer placement in the third year of studying to be a Dietitian. Well I have been very productive:   Worked very hard: And given some great Dietetic advice:   The above was …

Finding your place…ment

So it’s been a little while since I last blogged – and that’s because it’s been very busy. As the title suggests, I’ve been finding my place in my hospital placement as a Student Dietitian. I suppose it has been quite surreal for me. I’ve wanted to be a Dietitian since I was thirteen so …
