One day a Turtle will learn how to fly.

This is what we have..so far...
Me and Lisa decided to have an Epic Summer

Climb Rangitoto
Lugeing
Go Karts
Slide down Mt Vic
Play in North Head Tunnels (night)
Kelly Tarlton’s
Rainbows end
Piha
Zoo

But now I can't think of anymore....

 Me Jase’s 19^th Night out :D Fun times we got our buddies to come. Unfortunately after them being excited bout coming my Uni buddies couldn’t make it L bummer. So I got Lollies n a Queen CD and a monkey (Tabitha) The lollies we shared with the bouncers so we took them in :D hehe. Shell also came with everyone gettign confused as to how I knew her.. "hey ur Uni frend blah blah.." what? oh no I know her from TNIS..duuh heads

Cams party:  twas quite fun. We went to the Craft residence 9they were away) and got drinkys. But not only that ME and MAIKO had an EPIC adventure Super fun. We decided that we would walk to there and get Fush n Chups on the ways (if ur really stupid replace ‘u’ with ‘I’) Here goes. TRY and make sense of it will you. And I will try go to Verity’s and copy what me n Maiko wrote for our epic poem on the back of her dream girls poster (when/if she finds that mwahaha)

Ok :::: I left For Maiko’s at some number about 7ish I think? Got pretty sunset piccys with the Mobil station in them unfortunately. Then walked across golf course and almost got hit by a golf ball. Golf courses are weird NO MATTER if there is a person to be seen there will be flying golf balls. It’s like their version of a poltergeist! So me and Maiko went to the beach (Campbell’s) and started walking Nice just walking and talking and then soon trying to see where we were going and not get TOO wet but the rather mushy sea that was attacking the walkway. A family consisting of mum dad 2 kids and dog, (of course! Aren’t they all?) Passed us and then eventually (they walked VERY fast!!) we caught up with them as we soon realised that we either had to hurry up or get very wet trying to get to Mairangi bay!! We stopped cus Mum and kid#2 had slowed down cus he was scared of crossing the path that was now covered by waves. So we climbed over someone’s fence. Tried to yell at them or get into their yard. Failed. So climbed over their other fence to a very steep slope which we finally got down without (though almost) losing one of Maiko’s shoes!! It was VERY close. So we finally got to the Fish n Chips :d and I started going with my handy chip hole in the paper; “wanna cheeep?” to Maiko… We got it Its funny when we say it! So we decided to avoid the sea from then and walked along the road to verity’s. However part way there we realised that we had had an epic adventure and we needed to write it down. First was to decide what our over*something* names would be. It was Maiko of the Big feet (or other kind of embellishment: azure eyes etc) and I couldn’t think of anything for me so I looked at my shadow and my hair looked HUGE so I was With-haired Caitlin hahaha

Then we drank and wrote it down

Went to Cams

Drank a little more

And went home Watched Lion King till when Simba(BTW The microsoft word dictionary doesn’t recognise Simba as a word. Blasphemy!) has to run away then went to sleep.

Good times

 Holiday week:

Didn’t do Anything. No really I did a TINY bit of Osteo but apart from that…

I think It was this week that Me, Lisa, Maiko, Lici and Suz went to Dan’s and watched Lion King (sang along of course) figured out that I like the name Sarabi and also watched a little bit of Hercules and then a couple episodes of Smallville. Which is scarily not too bad. Horrible but not too bad. We also got lots of chocolate to eat whilst there.

Then I worked at Waitak for a week… Which I cant remember… really I think I block these sorts of things from my mind to prevent damage to it!

Random Smell, tastes and looks that remind of something 

Taste: I have a random food that reminds me of something. the x-mas lollypop. Its small and white with swirly colours in it. Possibly the cheapest lolypop ever. And every time I eat it, it reminds me of Christmas.. Its eerie

Smell: Weird moment: was in Bar 3 and smelt something(very rare as you know) and it totally reminded me of 1 particular x-mas, sooo weird!!!

16 sept

Sand-the sea essentially summer,

Christmas Trees,

Rotorua is possibly the weirdest smell I like. EVERYONE in NZ hates it so I’ve had to hide that for many years that I actually liked it… it’s so weird I don’t know why!!!

New books make me happy - I always smell the spine of my book when I’ve just got it.

Sight: Crunchy Autumn leaves, hail makes me extraordinarily happy I found this out the other day. I was so excited n I have NO idea why!!!
Bonfires.

I though I wudn’t put feeling (touch) in here but meh: Sand. I got so excited when we went to Cooks beach once cus it was bloodey winter essentially.. about aprilish so not really, but not summery. And I went to the beach with mum and the feeling of sand on my feet was great. I also hate people when wear shoes on the beach.. get a life for fucks sake

What is one crazy thing you would like to learn to do?

Scuba dive and I’m not allowed us of asthma.. sucks ehL

Fire poi’s.. or poi’s at all
stuff... im not a very exciting person really...

Girls night: Me and Lisa and Suz went out Friday night for a girls night cus lately Boys R Stoopid. So we went and saw the Tattooist. Lisa was more of a wuss than Suz :O it was a good movie though! Then we headed back to skycity to validate th ticket and get rid of bags :D then over to Mexican café cus its fun on a Friday. We just got cocktails then sat there for a couple hours taking pics and gossiping. Then headed over to globe eventually, dance to mostly shitey music then went home. Twas a good might though :D

Things that I am noticing RIGHT NOW: My head hurts.. not just like a headache but my BONES ache...my not parietal.. not temporal.. kinda the top side bit of the occipital one :'( (cus I can almost if I was insane and remembered the stuff from a couple weeks ago, could name all the bits and bobs of the stuff in the skull bones *cry*
AND my head still hurts, aarrgghh (note this was a week ago Its not now, though my stomach/abdomen has been sore for about 2 days now..like its really full.. owies sumtimes)

Well last week I got sick (woo they rejoice, not really) I had a cough on... Wednesday (I’m sorry if any ACGS’ers got it, cus I would have had it sitting there on Tuesday too oops oh well) anyways Went to yams with other people to listen to him complain, us say there nothing we can do, lets leave it, Stupid boys.. and coughed, hacked my lungs out in fact for FOUR FUCKING HOURS. hell I say, But his mummy gave me a throat lozenge throat... lungs same diff so I took it.. decreased the hack by a minuscule amount WHILST sucking said throat lozenge but then it came back *cry again*
So I took Thursday and Friday off work (mum made me) cus my lungs hurt (that happens after coughing for four hours...sorry I’m a little bitter about this for some reason...hmm) Uhm yes So Saturday was Kinda better but it had morphed into more of a cold.. so i was all mucusy up my nose (snotty in other less polite words) I did some of my assignment which was poo-ey. Then Lex and Tremaine came over to stay the weekend... Stuff happened I DIDNT go to the foam party *cry* (sheesh a lot tears this post thing) anyways so we were going to go to Bourne...last one BUT it sold out as we got there ..Poopydoos. So I made us go to EAGLE VS SHARK...Awesome.. I <3 Jemaine and FotC and this movie "do you wanna kiss" "yep" "on the lips" "yep"... (a small while passes and not much other dialogue) "do you wanna have sex" "yep"... then possibly THE least sexy film sex scene.. IT WAS FUNNY... I’m giggling sitting here... aahh gosh anyways GO SEE IT FUNNYNESS What else.... Still stuffed up on Sunday.. Did a  lot less on Sunday as we went to the mall.. I got... Shells pressy (tis cool) Monday I also took off cus I was still stuffed up and now the mucus from my nose was travelling to my lungs make me (you guessed it...I hope) COUGH YAY it was back in a different form woo...Tuesday I went in just to say I went in, but i DIDNT actually go to class I went into the library to find some BS sources for my Human Dev assignment.. Which allows us 1500 words to describe two theories, how we use the ideas of them in practical, children’s play, a tv programme, how we use play in clinical :O omfg.. NO ONE can stay within it.. suppose its good that we aren’t UNDER though...spose

And now its today ish

GANGSHOW : I can now see why people go lots of times to ACGS (I’ve never been in the audience for it :o) IT WAS AWEOSME.. They are great. Me n Liz, and Ben went and shouted and yelled and cheered and distracted and danced and sang along and had a GREAT time.. Omg freakin eh
2 ^nd time at ACGS: Well they were a lot more… organised.. didn’t seem like they were practising (not surprising they’ve only done the show 10 times since we were there last :P I went with Sandra and I sang along occasionally in the first ½ then ben n Sarah and another 2 friends came n sat next to us cus we had space. And from then we were a lot rowdier. Kimberley’s mum had lost her voice so Ainsley did her computer store part (and we could tell she was finding it hard not to laugh. She still had to do Mrs BP but could tell she was straining a lot to get out the words L bugger eh. Twas still awesome cool. and of course the band had about 6 million more things than before. We were also right up the front pretty much so we could actually see them :P twas great!!! So yes Improvement.. but they were awesome to start with so… Uhm they got love from Ross (who dint write notes cus he was actually watching) They didn’t open the curtains till later after introducing guest cus we were too loud. And then we got told we were an awesome audience. Afterwards when they came out so many of them looked absolutely EXHAUSTED!! But I didn’t care gave them all big hugs...eee goodness

Well not any more interestingly than last time, but possibly more grammatically correct, legible, and less spelling mistakes?
Well Lets see what has happened. im gonna write it in a list again then try get it into the order that it occured

~*) The Peruvian Earthquake.: Not so good, especially when one of my friends (Catherine Phillips) is over there. her and one of her friends were sent on a mission to find food and luckily they went the long way so they weren't inside with all the panicness. They felt the earthquake and said it felt very strange. here I'll get the email: "we were in lima at the time and gigi (a friend from Switzerland) and i were out scrounging for some food, whiling really just walking quite aimlessly...we had gone the long way. and all we noticed was that all the business people were in the street and there was a huge amount of traffic, then all the glass windows began to shake and car alarms started going off....and that’s when everyone pretty much got terrified the ground didn’t tremble as i thought it would but it absolutely swayed with the quake and everyone got into the street. i may be exaggerating but it seemed to go for quite a long time although i think it was only a couple of seconds. when it was other no one went back inside and pretty much didn’t move at all. I think we were so lucky we went the longer way to the supermarket or we would have been inside with all the panic. we returned to our hostel and pretty much had a huge hugging season with my friend Andrea...she had been alone with the other people in the hostel when it had happened, a funny part is she was in the shower when it happened and pretty much ran outside completely wet and very scared. but we were all really scared pretty much...." 
But I’m glad to say that she's safe and her n friends weren't hurt!!... 

~*) Practicalness: Not going so well. I WAS going to do my lumbar spine but then only 3 came in on the Friday, Carolyn took one and Rachael took another and I took the middle one as a practise!! DAMMIT
Oh well CXR (chest x-ray) practical next week. sigh ME and Rachael have to do it! eeek She tried to get em to do it on Friday arvo, but all the CXR's went.. ok so they didn’t but we got a few pointers from Miranda to know what to notice. We also worked together a lot on Friday doing one patient who had 2 diff xrays to do. It worked quite well. AAWW I had a cute kid come in for bone age (left hand measure first finger to radius/ulna) anyways. So cute his mum couldn’t come in cus she was pregnant. And he was a bt scared about it “will it hurt’ and he’d had a stick up the bottom of his mouth and he was too scared to get the xray so he pulled it out (he was 10 Now so he was younger then :O omfg!! Crazy child) but yea he was very cute..

18-19 Aug: George’s B-day Weekend. Was Awesome fun! Went out Friday night with a crew (now for once including George who We didn’t have to visit at work at Degree…. We still went to degree but pish. Saturday was a party at Chris Warham’s also lots of fun. Got slightly tipsy and danced on their bench seats to(of course) Queen. I changed it over, then someone got it onto ‘we are the champions’ and ‘bohemian rhapsody’ so my last song (cus I left early: Thanks suz) was ALL of us (and I mean all) singling along to that as loud as we cud. Was awesomely awesome!!!!! Other stuf happened but I cant be bothered right now

Also a very strange weekend as both Saturday and Sunday morning  I woke up randomly at 9am AM, I mean really? What is that shit. What kind of time is 9am. What do people DO at 9am?!?! (just had to misquote Black books) Anyways.. I managed to remedy that by falling asleep again and actually getting a sleep in.

My Bed: oooo yes that’s right, my life is very thrilling aint it? Well Carl is FINALLY moving out!! (equals: cause for celebration) with Chrisy to.. somewhere NO idea where, but pish. So he’s taken my bed by not to worry Caitlin has a new old bed (its 2^nd handish) From the apartment tis queen doubleyness.. so when we took out the old bed my room was ‘big’ and now its shrunk a bit… hmmph but its longer as even I (ok get ur short jokes over here…. Thank you) had my feet over the edge sometimes.. so yay. But if the person in the apartment moves out I lose my bed and will either get a new one (not very likely) or get carls king single.. *Tears* Life goes on though

Well I have noticed whilst writing this that my spelling has not improved.. I CAN spell.. just not on a keyboard though I did manage the other day to write a small comment entirely without looking at the keyboard I I generally just stare at the ‘y’ or ’h’ buttons so mish pish meh posh

I had something to write…Crud poopydoos…HAHAHA poopydoos doesn’t come up as a misspelling!! That’s awesome!!!.. Oh dang ok it does, it was just slow.. DAMMIT .. well NOT ANYMORE!! Heh heh

Ok I have NO IDEa I was thinking: snotty nose (sorry) getting sick.. theatre (operating).. then I foget.. aarggghh

NEW YEARS: Well me and Lisa are the organisation team this yr.. we are going to get a bach in Whangamata or somewhere coromandel somewhere with a big yard for a tent or so. It's super dooper fun looking it up. Although a lot of consensus is "don't care" "i liked last year" and "anywhere with toilet/shower/inside" so I think we will go where WE want to go and screw the rest of them!! Although yes everyone LOVED last year... apart from ammenities: they consisted of a long drop toilet and a bucket of water (clean and drinkable) but it was super dooper fun. So if worst comes to worse we can turn up there whenever we leave and say "hi.. we back ow give us the far paddock so we can be rowdy" :P.. ok so maybe bnot that exact quote but close enough eh!

What is one food you refuse to ever try? Why?

I pretty much don’t eat anything that looks like it did when it was alive (meat-wise that is) I went to some feast when we were in tonga and they had tho whole pig spit roasted and I had to avoid watching them carve the meat off onto my plate, but once it was there I was fine with it. A food I refuse to try. Something really out there and buggy.. yurgh

If you could be another person for a day, who would it be and why?

Who… would.. it.. be?... No idea.. absolutely none.. I could say something profound or something that is an image of my character, but I actually don’t know..

Ok so then I had a week of in which I did (this is going to surprise you but: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING) I do have quite a talent in that area. I have absolutely NO idea what I actually did do…weird….. Oh well this week has been kinda tiring.

Sunday: Went and saw Harry potter, was pleasantly disappointed ie: I had a good time whilst watching a crap attempt to encompass JK Rowling amazing writing…*hmmph sniff* Pretty much to see my complaints + yays see Liz’s page ie: missed out a lot, didn’t do it right, was very emotionless (didn’t feel anything at the Sirius death thing L) As soon as the went through the ministry door I turned to Maiko and she said exactly what was on my mind “wrong!” we also made snide jokes throughout and got only I think 1 disapproving stare from Jase (of course Maiko was between us so there might have been more that I missed mwahaha) Sirius looked like on of the 3 musketeers sigh…

Liked: The encompassment of Gred and Forges lollie escapades, kinda their exit, wasn’t so cool as I imagined but still god and Yay for the charms teacher’s little rebellion hehe. Uhm oh Luna, Umbridge and that’s about it :D

Then this week:

Monday I had a day off (yay. It was meant to be doing training but that had been done the previous week) so yay Tuesday and Wednesday I was in theatre with Bruce and occasionally Roz, Nick and Henry. It was quite fun saw.. blood, no guts though. However despite the two open ankles and wrists and a hip, the one I almost fainted in was the least blood.. 4 little holes with wires coming out, and then I felt like I was going to fall over/have my head cave in…so I sat down J It was a good idea and just in time I think.  

And then I was out of theatre and into Fluoro (screening ie: moving x-rays..)

Yesterday night I was so tired: not really surprised:   yes well yesterday I was very very tired, I had a crap day...(ironic that I said that as I did 3 barium enemas blurgh, which all were hard work :( 1.) didn't really get involved as at this point i was the model for some 2nd years practical facial/sinus .thing. Possibly one of the most uncomfortable exams ever created.. my neck was very sore after. 2.) Didn't get drained properly so...hmm she leaked (eeewwwww which we then had to clean up) in our lead gowns, which are 1: heavy and 2: hard to bend down in. the 3rd one had MRSA (equalling infection control measures of, in an already over warm room+caitlin, lead gown, gowny-gown, and gloves, then we had to clean EVERYTHING he had been in contact with ie: the fluoro room, the change room, and the shower room   aarrgghh, so then it was lunch... and then  i proceeded to do pretty much nothing I think for the rest of the arvo. Me n Bernie (who thankfully has stopped calling me cute grrr) we went up to SCBU (prenate babies) to do a x-ray of a line in the baby... and then waited for ages until the dr. turned up to put the bloodey contrast in the line so it would show up... but in the meantime me n Bernie cooed over its tiny cuteness and proportionally quite long feet. v. strange.
Oh well it was pretty much home time then... YAY
 
And then today was pretty good. Bruce (theatre MRT) got me n Alice up to the Ortho dept to have a sneak peek of their morning meetings of the days cases, quite cool... and funny as they complained that one of the shoulder x-rays wasn't quite right.. and then Alice told me that it was a difficult patient in a trolley...so it was the best...sheesh these dr.s) Then we went down to X-ray to get our sheets and back up  to theatre to talk with Bruce about filling them out before end of 3rd year...ok.
I could have gone to do some fluoro stuff (Ba swallow) but I couldn't be bothered (+ they are quite boring + repetitive) so I stayed in ED (emergency) with Henry (recently qualified) and helped him out, didn't really do much but it passed the time :P then  after lunch I went through to mammography to help out one of the MRT's over there, collect the patients and start them off. Then it was back to ED... and then the next Hep B shot then HOME YAY
 

 So sleepy time, even though its only 7 I am going to go clear my brain out with crap TV (and hopefully dinner...ciao

How Well Do You Know Your Neighbours?

Quite well actually. And our previous neighbours. Well to one side. We get on with them and I babysit their kids (who are little shits.) But yea we don’t really socialise with them but we know them.

What Are Your Favourite And Least favourite Words? Why?

Actually I don’t know… Place, food, book I could tell you, but word? I would have to find my two “strange words’ books that I have cus there are some funny ones in there. Yes I am a literary geek go me

What Was The Last Wedding You Went To?

My ‘Cousin’ Paula’s in Timaru… Yes that’s right. It was actually quite fun. We went down and drove down from Christchurch. Stayed in ‘town’ and went to a very ncie restaurant, and around the are. Then it was the wedding which was so lovely. And so was the reception. Then the day after at their house in, somewhere just above Timaru. It was quite funny because being country kids all their rellies and friends were such country people and their accents, you never realise how much an accent can change just within New Zealand, but really quite funny. As was getting all 70-something hairclips out of Paula’s hair!!

How Did You Spend Summer When You Were A Kid?

Usually after Christmas we would go camping somewhere. Before I was, I guess 12 I CANNOT actually remember where we went, but after that it was Tauranga bay 1^st time with just us, then with the Keane’s and Hewitt’s) then it was O…something below Whakatane. Which was not too much fun. It was just after Jamboree and 4 days with Mum and dad. AND I got a bad rash, which I also got the year after (figured out that 4+ days in sun sand salt etc beach gives me this rash that is kinda like Hives I am told, and it burns after another few days… NOT fun!! I also got it when I got kinda burnt. I think it might have been an allergic reaction to some after sun stuff. But hasn’t happened since. So yea Christmas at one of the Grandparents (swapping each year) New Years could be there, or at home. And then camping. It was a fun time, what I would give to be a kid again.
And Now? Well We've had summer camping at  Whananaki with the Edmonds now since we are all growed up. I still go up but it may have been thelast time in summer 06/07. Buit its good fun. New Years is camping with friends. before christmas used to also be the family get away for a weekend to hot pools. It was us and the Keanes, then we added the Hewitts and two other forrest hill School families (which we dont like) but now me and nat don't go (after hmmm since form 1 so after 6 years..wow)

What Is One Of The Nicest Things You’ve Eve Done For Another Person?

This one makes me laugh, weirdly. Since it is: build houses for them. I think that’s pretty nice, and possibly the nicest thing I’ve done for me too. It was an amazing experience, going to Cambodia visiting this village and seeing just how grateful they were for a box on legs, but compared to their previous houses it was a palace. SUCH an awesome time

Well my holiday week went pretty well. Managing to do pretty well at doing absolutely nothing and go out till v. late (or rather early 4 night.. or 3 I cant remember) in a row.

Saturday: Had people over to my place for a pissy up. They got pissed (no way) and put toilet paper everywhere... 1 roll in my room, 1 in the kitchen, other 1 strewn everywhere.. and a partial box of tissues :p sooo random! But it was nice to see some of the people who were up from wherever they are hasting, Wellington, Otago…I think that is all) Anyway

Sunday-Monday cleaned... Well not really it wasn’t that bad actually but didn’t really do anything... Got movies out... Slept from about 4-8 on Sunday night :p then went to bed and slept in the morning.. I was tired I guess

Well I went and visited Liz on Tuesday so we could get cheap vids and have a blobby day… Then As I walked home, after being fed (woohoo for mums :p and finally being actually able to meet her and see her bro again after aaages + too long) So I got a text from Dan asking If I wanted to go watch the Americas cup at Jase’s place (yes duuh) So went there with him, Jase, Yam, Paddy and then proceeded to play cards for the next 7 hours until the racing started! Woohoo was great fun... I came 3^rd the first game and 2ndish (Dan and Jase were tied for last so…) the second game... But great fun!!... Then I slept in lots as the race finished at 5am :o woo

So did nothing Wednesday I think. Thursday also cant remember... I know that Friday night I went out with a similar group of people to Tues night to again watch Americas cup... fucking cold at the viaduct with a lot of wind, but It was inside so that’s ok.. We lost :’( tears…

Saturday was Lisa’s unofficial 19^th.

TOGAS Which was great fun and even with minimal clothing on from many people none of us froze (which is always a bonus :p) We all got decidedly not-sober(ie: tipsy->drunk) (my definition of the night) And then watched us lose (again :’() bugger eh.. oh well got woken wwaaaayyy too early again (about 6 by her dad then 730 by my ‘friends’ (not any more anyway)

Monday-Friday I was working at Waitakare Hospital, by myself (well no other students in other words) was just doing the work on Monday but Tuesday my tutor was there, and since I hadn’t done anything over the past...hmm about 3-4 weeks, I couldn’t remember much. So it wasn’t a very good day for me, I got really tired n felt like crying at one point (which sucks) but I think some of the others didn’t have a very good day either…

Wed-Fri got better, and by Friday I was actually really beginning to understand the exposures and why/ how they are set, however I will lose that in the next 2 weeks :p

Saturday: (again) didn’t do anything during the day. NO I lie: I went to see oceans 13 with Ye-Eun. Which we thought we had missed the bus to, whoops, but we eventually got there :D. It was an average movie: nothing much happened really. But then I managed to get 3 tops for $30ish in total, so I am a happy chappy :p. Then that night we went to Chloe’s place to say Bye to Katy. Then me n Suz went back to her place, Looked through her albums and her USA photos. Then came back to my place and watched The Incredibles, but we was tired so we went to sleepy byes. Got up at 10 and watched Ice Age after Yam left, then some crap movie on TV (god the 90’s were awful!!)

And now its now

Ciao

That rhymes..

Go me

OOOookay well since ...about the start of may haven’t been able to get in here (and so my promise of regular updates on my not so interesting life was postponed...so here it is in 2 words or less: stuff. Happened) I know it’s a shock to me too

Ok so last time I wrote it was the end of April (I don’t care if it wasn’t that’s gonna be where I start.

SO start of May I CAN’T actually remember what we did but at some point:

We got invited round to the house that Hayley is sitting (house sitting?) and watched Euro trip and Little Miss Sunshine (which is funny) and talked a lot I think. Tom and Graham woke me n Hayley up as they left (at 8A-freakin-M) but we managed to get back to sleep alright. Her sis came home with two (I think they were) strangers and went to the spa.. we didn’t want to know…:P

My assignments are ALL over except 1 journal which is due tomorrow but OH WELL!!

We (me Jenny n Lisa) went out to the bio dept (of Auckland uni) cocktail party n had a fantastic time. Except Shane was there so we hid from him (graham just happened to leave that fact out right...) danced and left. great time

Went out to town for V-Dawgg’s 18^th which was fun fun fun. Of course now I cant remember it so no funny anecdotes haha (that was a nasty haha not a laughter haha)

Ok exam study next week and exams the week after (physics, science day off, osteology, and communications ,....then PARYTING)

excitement of the day: (7 June): got the day off from work at north shore hosp because of flooding in radiology WWOoooooo i hear you say:O
- we came in and saw some water seeing through ventilation unnoticed
-we told people and got a box for it to drip into
- we also got a lot of towels and sheets and blankets and put them under it
- i went to the hallway as i heard ppl talking and a LOT more water coming down there.
- So we put more and more cloths down A LOT.. and at the door to the computers system thing :O 
- then we went upstairs (to where the flood was coming from ironically) to do a theatre tutorial. and saw where the water was coming from... and leaking into theatres 'dirty' hallway...aparently at some point a light switch was smoking and many people were VERY wet... but then we got a call which said. Go home, radiology is closed. which made us happy cus we thought we would have a very busy arvo from the back-log... but no it'll be tomorow... EVEN though aparently on i dunno 6pm radio news patients still being diverted to auckland hosp

yes so you get a fulll account of that as it was today rather than 3 weeks ago

hope life is good ciao all xoxo

Well Easter Weekend consisted of a trip to Coromandel (which I cant spell) to Cooks Beach (which I can) with my extended family... well part of it anyway. It was my dads cousins 50th so her family and dads other cousin's family came down too. We had a great time doing nothing, eating too much and generally having a great time

Then Week one consisted of Slave duty at North Shore Hospital (Nth Shr Hosp remember?) Which on Tuesday consisted of sitting there.. With 2 other students and 2 Qualifieds doing nothing in a little box that was behind the Xray rooms in out Patients :( not so much fun really and pretty much the same thing on Wednesday too... SO EXCITING!!!! But I managed to do a bilateral 3 view knees.. no I lie 2 view ... and a lateral Chest xray BYMYSELF!! yay finally.. I think I should be able to do one of my practicals after this.. maybe wrist or chest or knees woot. Oh well that meant nothing to you. On Thurs n Fri I did next to nothing AGAIN!!! (cool eh..) there were no patients, partially because of the lab workers strike (I was in Fluoroscopy which does 'invasive' xray things, so if an emergency may not have ben able to get stuff for the patient, But on friday it wasnt on so we got 3 Barium enemas and 2 SLT(speech language therapist)barium swallows. Which were average as they go :P

I then did nothing, no I lie I went n saw 300 with Graham n Andy, which I quite liked really(on saturday) then got invited out, buuuut couldnt be bothered cause I was goin to tawharanui the next day... The saga continues rito?

TAWHARANUI: ME n LIsa n Yam left from auckland after picking up jennys cooker and Dans tent at about oh actually no idea i think 12 after i wasnt picked up at 10 :P (got picked up at 11) BUT It didnt matter, cus we were on our way, determined to have fun!! I was cheif picture taker, although only of happy part and with scnery that was sunny. We wanted to make everyone jelous. Not sure if it worked though, aaah well... We set up the tent. And when I say we i mean i sat there sore Graham put it up n Lisa bossed. We are so talented :p So then we lay there. Doing nothing for a while until we decided to visit the beach. which was fun. having a jedi fight (and rehearsal between me and lisa. And writing nasty notes to those people who didnt come!!1 (all it said was 'you guys suk 4 not coming!") Then we made dinner before it got dark, yum yum...it was tuna, pasta and can of pasta for me Yam n Lisa. Then at about 8 the other arrived finally (Maiko, Katie, Dan, Daryn and George) they played cards till midnight when jenny arrived with her tent, Which we didnt put up cus it was dark... and we were in bed. Yay for having already blown up my bed n put it in the tent so i got inside that night (the iother who didnt get a bed (daryn, dan, jenny) slept in their respective cars).
Monday: Breakfast and then down to the beach. We drew in the sand played hang man. Everyone(well me dan n Yam I think) contributed a word n we got a saying. Then at about 10 the 8pm arrivers LEFT (losers) so those left decided toblob (we were getting good at this) dragged out my bed and lay on it reading my book. At one point it rained for a while so we noted that it was nap time as we had had such a tiring stressfull day :P That afternoon consisted of sliding down the hil.. which was pretty good i have to say. jenny saved the planet by turning off a tap that some noobs had left on and we too our carboard box home with us :D
Tuesday: We decided to go meet up with Alicia her frend Jen and Her frenchy Cedric at goat island. The water was slightly cold but me n lisa got in and saw pretty fishys (only snapper n Porori though cus all the blue Maomao have gone) But it was fun. Lunch in some cafe in leigh with really ew chips that we gave to Alicia and her crew. Jenny left us to go to work and we headed back to tawharanui, For more hill sliding and another swim. I could have stayed in all day. graham was a wuss when i said I had forgotten the shark beating stick haha!! Oh well... All in all a great 3/4 days
Wednesday. We had brekkie and then waited for the tent to dry so we could put it down. Unfortunately as it dried along came rain clouds so we had to get it down. we did, Just not to well. It wasnt really the same size as it came in :p oops oh well Dans problem now

And now back in auckland... Camping was great fun, BUT its a bit of a bummer that I didnt get to meet up with most of the people who were up for the holiday :( oh well we'll have more time next hols .. ahh well i need nap time now (even though it 430 I am tired with a cold so im gonna go blob in front of the TV on the couch. ciao bye

Monday 26^th March: Once upon a time there was a girl who never listened or stayed awake in class. But one day she did.. she thinks, but cant remember (or fucking spell). Ok so I can’t be bothered writing you a story, because 1) obviously I cant be bothered and 2) I cant actually remember what happened... This is becoming a huge problem in my life... Ok so I left you on Sunday night having had Tremaine for the weekend… Monday Monday Monday…ok no idea... Uni... Home pretty much I think.. and of course counting down the days till Wednesday (where me n graham going into school.. ee...no more exciting than you think.. ok not THAT much more exciting… yea about there)

Tuesday 27^th March: again, no idea what I did today…. I’m starting to think that maybe I’m taking drugs or alcohol to Uni and this is why I’m missing large chunks of my life… or maybe it’s just the Uni doing that to me… that could be in fact its more likely. Alcohol/Uni… wow what a choice there. Anyway I guess nothing exciting happened today. Hmm maybe I should tell you that (oh crap I know what I did and have forgotten to send/email so far, I wrote a letter to Suzy/Laura cus I was bored in physics (it took 2 days to write.. now I gotta copy it into the computer...Sigh wish me luck and hope that I get onto it!!) anyway apart from that people are organising going camping at middle weekend of holidays (weekend after Easter, from Sunday-Wednesday) and I am excited :D eee yay etc It consists of Me, Graham, Lisa, Dan, Tom, Katy, Maiko, and other people.. uhm? I have forgotten… oh well they are obviously not worth it: D. So that’s my 2^nd excited news (apart from seeing Dylan Moran LIVEEEEEE I’m excited about this sososososososososososos(etcetc) much!! Omfg etc etc etc.

Wednesday 28^th March: Uni and then I left early. Sadly (not) missing the Treaty Of Waitangi lecture to go home and visit school. Me n graham met up at about 230 n We saw.. people visited Miss Hounsell, Hid from Mrs Brown (urgh) and saw no other teachers cus they were actually teaching. Bummer oh well. Then we got our Hot Mikado tickets for final night on Wednesday eee excitement! Anyway today was also the Cambodia reunion where I got to see everyone (but not for long enough and I miss them again now L) and the movie Ms. Wa-Fo made from all the filming done on the trip. It was funnily bad… hehe but good times. Now they are all coming to Show on Wednesday too. Haha funny with Fiona cus me n Yam were standing next to the deans part waiting for the crowds to go and looking for people we knew then this squealing ball of energy tackled me going “CAITLIIIIN OMG” etc etc. It was Fiona. She was excited to see me.. yay glad to know I’m loved by someone :p

Thursday 29^th March: Today I had to get to Waitakare (herein referred to as ‘Waitak’ cus I cant be bothered writing the whole thing many timesJ) But. It was raining. The bus that should have come at 715 came at about 725 (when my bus to Waitak rather than down the road arrived …down the road) so grr #2 there. Then got to Taharoto rd.. stood at the bus-stop getting damp n slightly cold. So at 9 I finally got to the hospital. Slightly ...No. Wet. So I was wet and ½ hr late wonderful. So I went off with Hannah, whos…nice...ish… kinda...no...aarggh English Caitlin (ironically Hannah is English so is Dan) Anyway shes kinda nice but quite abrupt and to the point. And I geuss expected a lot of me. Which was quite good as I learnt a lot with her (feet, ankles, chests, and…that’s about it) AND I made friends with one of the clerks Elaine from Glasgow (she’s old not a youth btw people (like Jason) who were wondering if she’s hot...sheesh people get a life :p) and we n Dan had an hr long chat about NZ weather, ski season, England weather and travel, was quite fun/funny actually. And I have discovered that I prefer Waitak hosp over North shore cus its more personal and nicer n smaller.

FRIDAAAAAAYYYY 30^th March (still, weird.. this month is almost over agin!1 seems like it was only 2 weeks ago that I changed my calendar to march...oh yea that’s right, that’s cus it was oops :p) Anyway. Missed the earlier bus by 1 minute but! Yay it wasn’t raining today (oh yeah, we got flooded kinda last…yesterday. about 2/5 of the rumpus room woot.. so moved all Grandy’s shit out of there and the carpet (again!) but its fine n dry now) Anyway work was not so fun today.. actually no I lie it was about the same. Was with Dan today who was nicer and actually told me what to do rather than implying I was stupid for not knowing exactly everything about the positioning for every x-ray 9stupid Hannah) anyway learnt more. Had like 3 little kids come in for x-rays today n one of them was soo cute I don’t know what was wrong but I think she night not have been all there. I dunno. Uhm what else.. oh left early again today as it always dies about 4 o clock so meh went home got home at a luxurious 6 o clock tonight instead of 7 (after leaving at 430, and 5 the previous day -_- hate busses) ..nothing else happened today… I think. Sleep mainly (and if you were wondering I still haven’t done my physics.. or started study for Mondays test (even though as I am writing this it is Monday and the test is past!)

SAAATurdDAY 31^st march (teehee that was nicely immature of me :D) Well I got up late, avoided Imaging Science study and PPP+C study :d I rock. Then eventually went to Verity’s for a ‘movie’ night HAHAHA I think movies don’t like us or something we just CANT watch them heheh So we got Kenny and Grudge 2 (without realising it was only M...what’s with that shit?) So we watched some of Kenny until it went too long.. then decided to visit Maiko and embarrass her by taking her to the porn section of Civic in milford. Then we went back to veritys and 5 minutes past 10 decided we all wanted to get drunk (not just tom (the loser :p) so we went to Foodtown n got disgusting wine + scrumpy (ew).. the wine was bad enough that it tasted better with fanta in it :p hehe. So a good night was had by all.. until the morning.

Sunday APRIL FOOLS: i.. got up at like 1030 then lay there reading Kieran’s (im assuming) book of ‘the wee free men’ which I now want. Anyway finally by about 11 all were up and very tired.. oh well.. actually it was me graham n verity.. n fliss too who we had disturbed last night. She’s so good to us :p anyway finally did SOME study but also Dylan Moran picture finding.. hes the awesome-oh and might have Shell/Alicia (hopefully both) coming with me yayay and Finn is going, but not with me loser)

Monday – Had a test was weird.. will no I probly wont tell you bout it later.. but im goin to wash my hair as I should have an hr ago ciao

Monday 19th - Grahams b-day.. that was not very exciting as it had already been celebrated so we'll just pass over that... what else.. nothing really.. (didn’t fall asleep) yay me

Tuesday 20th - Nothing exciting again.. except figuring out that omfg i have 3 tests (worth bout 25% each) and a journal due in next week.. and the physics assignment (part B) draft due Wednesday... ok my memory is like a freakin sieve lately i CANNOT remember anything.. or maybe i just didn’t do anything.. waaiiittt i think that today was the day the train was an hr late.. but if it was the bus id be totally pissed off but with the train i can just sit there n read my book n then when th train stops get up and get on.. yayness.

Wednesday 21st - ok seriously have nothing to say so how a bout a little story. Once upon a time there was a little girl 9who wasn’t short) who’s name was cool. Her name was Caitlin. She went to univesity and learnt how to spell, as well as learning how to spell she got given physics assignments. the first of these she did on time and very well (if she does say so herself). the second of these she still hasn’t done even though the draft was 'due' today. she didn’t care 'it doesn’t matter' she said. But it was not to be. Her conscience (also called Caitlin) has been now bugging her for 1.2.3.4. almost 5 days to 'JUST FREAKIN GET IT DONE"  And so she meandered. she talked to friends. she read books. listened to music. and mainly (shit forgotten the word...) procrastinated and to this very day still has not done it. She has the materiel to get it done but is avoiding it at almost all costs. And they all (except Caitlin) lived happily ever after. The End 

Thursday 22 - Caitlin awoke in time to eat breakfast (toast with vegemite as always and for the past like 10 years she thinks) she went out to the bus-stop and managed to get inside because it was raining. A Little. But still the trafgfic was crazy. A bus came. She didn’t get on because it was full of student (evil beings.. not nice students like us Uni go-ers, but *shudder* high school students uurrgghh) So she waited for the next one. It arrived at her bus-stop at 830. At this point she should have been at North Shore Hospital ambling around before things got started for the day. But it was not to be. So she sat. And she waited. And she sat for about ½ an hr more. And finally at 9 am she arrived close to NSH and walked in. Just in time for the tutorial. Also Bronwyn (puke :D) was a late little chicken but not so much as Caitlin. Caitlin then was paired with Matt. Her day went slowly. Her day went boringly. Her day went bad-englishingly. She went home. She washed. She read. She procrastinated some more and then she went to bed.

Friday 23rd - Caitlin was absolutely sure today was the 24^th. Luckily last night she had figured out that it wasn’t. She looked at a calendar and thought that the calendar was wrong. Her brain is cracking up some more. Or maybe, just maybe, it was the 24^th and she has just lost a year of her precious life. Making her almost 20. (ie: old). Anyway Caitlin made it to work before 830 this day. She was again buddied with Matt. They went and did the first chest x-ray of the day. And then! Caitlin was stolen by Tracey to be a model for the 3^rd years tutorial on facial x-rays. Possibly the most uncomfortable x-ray possible. She lay there with her head Tilted up for what seemed like 4 hours, but was only 1. Then she proceeded to do the next 6 chest xrays. But the good part of her day was that she finally managed to get some portable xrays. Caitlin shouldn’t have been excited about doing this. The first she walked there and took it. The second she walked there and got to watch a woman throwing up :D oh the joys in her life are full and exciting. Caitlin then got on her phone and told her friends to organise people to come to her house that night for a barbeque. Then she went home with her father, home stay (Ye-Eun) and Tremaine who was to stay with her for the weekend. Then her friends turned with food and happiness. And of course un-knowingness that her parents were going away for the weekend (Caitlin is a sneaky biatch sometimes) So They exploded the sausages. And Ate them too. And then they went to the oprak. And then at 11 pm the stupid bitch whop was picking up a ches of drawers turned up, But don’t worry she was only 6 hours late :D

Saturday 24th – Caitlin and Tremaine woke to the restful sound of the phone ringing in the middle distance (she’s not quite sure where exactly that is. But its out there somewhere probably) Caitlin did her usual “the phone is ringing in the morning’ routine that consisted of her going “ oh he phone. Someone lese can get it im asleep… fuck im the only one here… that means I have to get up” slowly rises from the bed and stumbles downstairs in time for the person to hangup. Stumbles back up to bed with phone in tow. Tremaine also gets up at this point and they have a morning toalk in Caitlins room. Then eventually they rise to make pikelets before having a showers and going out. The pikelts, made by Caitlin herself with instructions from mainey, were fabulous. The two girls then proceeded to Takapuna to go see ‘Ghost Rider’ Very funny, entertaining watch. But the bad guys always have so much style… damn. Then the children proceeded to get lunch (chips n milkshake) and walked to milford. A good walk that consisted of Caitlin and her evil assistant Tremaine deciding which houses they liked along that road, you know the one to Milford. Eventually we got home and Caitlin made her new pet watch Dylan Moran skits and black books on youtube (ad alert woopwoopwoopwoop) Then eventually the two monkeys proceeded up the road to get pizza and movies Movies: Mirrormask, rent, Vampire clan 9such shit it was funny), and my copy of blood diamond. So a good night with beddy-byes at 130ish :D

Sunday 25th : Caitlin had the chance of doing her physics assignment 9part B_ but decided that Dylan Moran was a MUCH better past time and spent a few hours laughing hysterically at the black books outtakes!! They are fucking hilarious. AND she also figured out that its very confusing to figure out when hes coming because ticketek says April 19^th but Ticketdirect says May 9.. I belive ticket direct! So the tickets are $55 and I want people to come please please please.

Like my little tale and woe and Joe? I mean joy?  Good you’d better like it.. and a little excerpt from the book many and Bernard wrote whilst drunk… it is just amazing.. but you have to find it and watch it, cus this soes it NO justice at all!!

M: There’s the elephant. He’s happy with his balloon.
M” Oh no its gone!
M: Is it behind the rhino?
*both shake heads*
M: Look in the alligators mouth
Both: It's not there either
M: ohhhhhhh the monkeys got it in the tree
M: He brings it back,
Both: They all drink lemonade
M: The End"
