naughty or nice?

thank yous for your concerns regarding my ankle. =) I caught a ride to school with my landlords because I was trying to be a good girl and not injure my ankle again.

spent the whole day at Seager Clinic at Princess Margaret Hospital(PMH) with my colleague and it was somehow tiring for both of us interviewing/sitting in with interviews with patients. it's not like we're not learning anything, it's definitely good practice for our end-of-run/year OSCE, but it's just tiring. we left late afternoon because it was enough.

met up with 2 of my flatmates in school while waiting to catch a ride back. thank you for being honest and sharing about your lives with me in Medici. I guess I feel better inside knowing that someone else knows. =)

while we were walking to where the car was parked, we met some other people unexpectedly. and it was so nice to meet them. seeing them made me happy. =) can't explain it, but there seems to be some sort of connection. or maybe it's building up another whanau/"family"/support network. I don't know. I just need to be careful to not let old mistakes repeat themselves.

HOWEVER, I wasn't such a good girl after that. I decided to cycle to my sign language class. HMM. I must say though, my ankle doesn't hurt that much when I bike - I used the momentum of my right foot to pedal. besides, my left calf is aching from limping. PLUS walking involves plantarflexion which hurts my ankle, especially stairs.

and most importantly, to continue the way I'm eating I need to exercise. =D

so was I a naughty girl?

speaking of which...I think I used to be a nice person. used to be, that's the key words. I used to be caring, used to encourage, used to be a friend. nowadays I'm leaning more towards finding people to care for me, encourage me, be my friend. what the opposite. I've become so self-centred and not take notice of things happening around me. it's all about me, me, me.

hmm.

found out that his relationship status just changed...does it really matter? no.

learnt that part of the management of a patient presenting at a psych service/hospital is that if/when they have suicidal ideation they should talk to the staff about it and also learn some distraction techniques. hmm.

anyway, I will resume biking to school tomorrow.
