My life thus far



To those people who are excited about finishing year 12 to move onto uni and experience that feeling of freedom, don't be. Sorry to burst yo bubble, but its just the truth. Why spend 13 years of stressful schooling, just to get a good enough score in order to spend another 3 - 5 years of extra mind numbing work? It just doesn't make any sense... S'cuse me while i jump off this bridge. Is what someone would say who hates their uni/tafe course!
But nah, uni is great despite all the bloody assignments and exams... Good news is that i've got clinical placements next semester! My first placements are going to be in aged care, and I cannot wait! Finally i get to be a somebody! A somebody who gives sponge bathes to the elderly... BUT YEAH, should be super fun working with the older generation!

Anyway, for my group's upcomming assignment we are required to come up with a case scenario involving a man aged >65 suffering medical conditions and blah blah. Heres what my group and I came up with...
- Antonio Gavanga, aged 68
- has a daughter living independantly with 3 grandchildren aged 10
- carpenter
- is of Italian background (moved from Italy 30 years ago)
- wife passed away 2 years ago from breast cancer
- a stroke victim, and only has partial motor skills on the left side of his body

- is easily irritated

- shows signs of depression

- suffers from arthritis

- has an addiction to pain killers, as he is dependent on it to relieve the pain in his joints

Poor Antonio has it tough...

Goot-bai!
:-)

PS: "eff" you to the drugged up lady who spilled coke on my jeans on the train today.

    and while you have exams, i'm filming. SUCK IT! getting it organised is as tough as nuts though. not like high school, when i could just waltz in and press record. damn. being an adult sucks nuts. salty nuts.

  3. Yay you haven't posted anything in a while
    Don't despair, write a song about Antonio and hit it big through youtube and knock the ear-bleeding Bieber off the charts and never have to go to uni again.
    Or alternatively wait for mid-year break.
    Aren't we all.
