...GP been boring
First of all for those pple that frequently come by here, thank you =) Even tho i would have continued blabbering if no one read this anyway (since this IS my diary), its nice to know that pple take time out to read these stuff. ;)
And of cus those pple that leaves msgs for me too.
Today = boring.
Stuck in the traffic jam this morning, it took me nearly 1 hr to get to tamaki!! Was stuck on greenlane rd for like yonky years. For some reason there's more traffic jam on rainy days. but WHY? its not like i drive much differently when its raining. It wasn't even raining hard today - just dripping - and yet there was major jam. Ah well.
Had a tut on motivational consultation today, we have to try to "lecture" actors into giving up smoking etc. First of all we identify where people are on the wheel of change - if they are precomplentative (e.g. I ENJOY casting black magic to kill people. NO i will NOT give up) or complentative (Well, after seeing my fren and his gf smooching each other in the corner and ignoring me, maybe giving up black magic can help make us friends again...but i'm not sure...) etc. THat's the 2 main groups. For the precomplentative people, who can obviously be resistant, all we can do is to understand their world e.g. "What do you enjoy about casting black magic and stabbing people? Has it ever let you down?" and let them know that if they ever want help or more information on giving up that bad habit and making the change they can come and seek help. The main technique we use is Empathy - which i think i lack cos i m not good at observing how other people's body language etc is. And reflecting. Reflection is a technique that we use all the time - whether we realise it or not. e.g. "you seem jealous..." and it opens the other person up cos it shows that you are trying to understand how they feel and they often drop the resistance and the guard that they have.
Saying all this tho, its amazingly hard to try to talk to people abt these things. Well no surprise really. ITs the same reason why I still have a pot belly. I mean - imagine if i have to give a consultation about losing weight to a patient - wouldn't that be embarrassing?! i mean - the patient will be like "well you can't even lose weight successfully youself, how do you expect ME to make these important lifestyle changes?" It seriously is hard. I mean - its like getting a black mage to cast heal...it just doens't work!!!...
How to change how to change...it seems like I'm one of those people who is constantly in the wheel of change - i'm probably contemplative...but lack motivation. NOw what can i do to find the motivation i need - something to stop me taking choosing afternoon nap over going to the gym....
Charlotte approached me today about renting a flat in Raetihi -cost $125/week/person. Sounds better than living with the nurse for $25/night - we get the whole place to myself and its cheaper as well. Sounds cool. SHe's going rafting in hamilton in labour weekend too, but since she is going to drive down and offered to come back up just to pick me up, and then go down again. So nice of her!! i feel a bit bad. She even said that she mite have some ski gear that would fit me - and will birng it along so if we go ski (turoa is supposedly still open) I can use her ski gear, so cool!! So she's driving, she's arranged accomodation...she's done everything! Makes me feel so useless. Hey, its not like i was expecting anything from myself anyway - i duno anyone down there and have only been near there like twice this yr, whereas she's a mega sporty person who probably go there heaps. But next two weeks is gona be so guilty tho - it sounds like i'm not gona be doing ANY studying at all (while most of you do ur exams,hehehe) and coming back up i have 3 weeks to study the whole yr!! and 2 of those weeks i'll b in hamilton!!!!! *Getting scared*....
Oh well. I m going to try to convince henry to come down to raetihi fo the weekend (he's in taupo) and go skiing or something. He's not too sure if he's driving tho, so... Hope he can come - more pple = more fun (see studying is not on my inventory)
My other group of classmates going to opotiki (below tauranga) has a flat to the 3 of them with TV and sky and they'r gona bring DVDs and have already planned movie nights and going fishing and surfing...man - i wish i could have gone with a group of people too. But hey - I'll try to be optimistic that things will work out =) I'll have fun even if i'm alone falling over multiple times in the beginner ski field (heard the intermediate ski field is scary for beginner...shit...)
Oh and GP has been boring for the last few days. The only "fun" thing today was when Vid took a ECG of me. ^^" She's managed to do immunisations and do 2 cervical smears while i have only ever watched those being done. Oh well.
And of cus those pple that leaves msgs for me too.

So in keeping up with the popular trend of giving warnings about not blogging - well you know that i'm not gona be accessing internet very often in the next few weeks - i'll blog as much as i can, on my laptop, hopefully will take some nice pictures, and post it up when i get a chance!
To all those having those lushy exams coming up - remember to train ur bladder (mine was busting all the way thru my tut today...i'm worried...) and don't be embarrassed to raise ur hand and go to the toilet!! It will clear up ur mind!! U'll be amazed how toxic those urine can be when they stretch ur bladder out to its utmost bursting extent.
Oh and those working in labs u can say hi to ur pancreas or testtubes for me. =) I'll think of them if i go skiing =P
