OK just been informed private hospitals are even worse so dont bother with them either i suppose if you want to be treated like crap you might aswell have it for free- just dont get ill at all!!! Eat your veg and drink plenty of water

DAMN YOU EVIL EBAY!! I went on to sell some stuff to make a bit of cash. Before id even put a listing up i was bidding for stuff. I ended up winning a skirt for £26 which came today. The bloody things a size 8 but i thought the girl in the pic looked about the same size as me so it would fit, if not id just move the button or something. I cant get the flaming thing past my knees so i tried putting it on over my head and pulled it down only for it to get stuck in the upper chest region leaving me wondering whether id be walking round with a denim skirt stuck over my head forever. Would I have to cut eyeholes in it????? :shock:

ANYWAY it still had labels on so i took it back to the shop who were mystified by it and said theyd never seen it before so i couldnt swap it.

SO my only option left it to resell it on ebay so i have just put it up without picture as yet. I also have a pair of trousers which someone kidly bid £1 for today (i think the listing cost more than that altogether :x )


Anyway so my day today was taken up by taking that skirt back to the shop, which incidentally happened to be about 30-40 miles away!

Damn my size 12 body! I have never recovered from the fact im not an 8 anymore. I used to be but now i eat way too much to be an 8. I could use the skirt to spur me on to diet but nah - selling it is easier. Nowt wrong with size 12 anyway - Nothing wrong with a bit of meat on you is there?????



Its my easter hollies now!! Time to get the assignments done that r due in for the week after. I havent got a CLUE what im doing but im sure ill work it out after much deliberation and on sunday night, the night before theyre due in ill get them done in a last minute panic and all will be ok again that monday afternoon until the dreaded results slip comes through and reveals yet another crap mark.

Easter hollies arent what they used to be!!

I want a lindt easter egg please.

Hey Hey today was rubbish! Im just not made for the world of retail. The shop just down the road from us has a sale on (another department store) and they sell the exact same stuff so ive been directing people there all day rather than sell the stuff full price. I havent taken any money all day tee hee. Serves them right for not paying me enough!! They must make a fortune on the stuff they sell cos its very overpriced, but not much of it gets to me so ill just make sure they make less to make up for it.

My day was taken up by work so nothing else to report.

MEDICAL FACT OF THE DAY!!!

we have about 600 lymph nodes

j*sus chr*st- moaning about being a size 12? the average for the Uk woman is 16.

Be grateful

[DrPie]

just been reading your weblogs.

I hope you get in to medicine- Im very sure you will- you seem very motivated to reach your goal. So just keep at it.
Dont be disheartened by what you do at the moment- it''ll all be relevent (the number of times you'll have to be looking at x-rays and the like as a doc- it'll be second nature to you!)

Im not sure if all Medical schools ask for Chemistry A-level- they didnt when I applied. Admittedly the majority.
try this link:
http://www.bma.org.uk/ap.nsf/Content...ngDoctorTable1

its all the med schools and their requirements (many say biology OR chem)

hope this helps

[kittykatty]

Cheers Dr Pie. Dont worry im not REALLY bothered about being a size 12 (apart from the fact all my clothes are 8-10 and i cant afford anymore :? )

Thanks for that link it was very insightful although i think the fact that most of them require chemistry would mean my application would be pretty weak without it so i will find a way of fitting it in somehow... when i do not know. If its as boring as it was at GCSE ill be in trouble!

Anyway Blog continues for tonight - Ive added to my list off stuff being auctioned on a popular internet auction site (realised that mentioning names might be prohibited) and no one has bid yet. I dont blame them its a right load of crap im selling. Trouble is i dont really have anything decent to sell - the decent stuff i have I understandably want to keep. I didnt realise it cost so much to list stuff! It costs more if you want a pic but no1 will buy without a pic so i have to put one.

Ive got about £300 of my overdraft left but YAY the student loan comes soon. I cant remember what date it will get to me but its definitely april so £500 will be coming my way shortly. (£500 is crap by the way - X 3 its only £1500 a year how crap is that???? Itll be gone in a few days! Infact its already gone hasnt it! Its not actually ADDING to my account balance)


Tomorrow commences my quest to get assignments done. Might also have to go shopping to replace the stuff ive just sold on ebay tee hee ops: ops: ops: This is why im in debt. Take note all those who are starting uni in september - most students when at uni look like scruffy scrubbers and i resented this fact and tried to stay away from that image. I will suffer for years to come from the financial impact of it!
Be a scruffy scrubber and be proud of it and laugh at the ones who prance round in their expensive pretty clothes - those who wear a different outfit everyday and those who carry their folders in their arms because none of their nice handbags will fit them in.


Also - buy your books second hand online. I did and i saved loads. (admittedly i did get addicted to buying second hand books and bought a ridiculous amount of crap ones that ill never read but still the costs mounted and it ended up costing a fortune but thats just me im a shopoholic and i admit that its probably cost me more than if id just bought all the reading list new - and i still only have a bout 4 books off the reading list i just buy any book with 'x-ray' or 'radiology' in the title and hope for the best)

Somehow i cant bring myself to sell them. God knows why. Ive got one worth £180 here that i bought for a fiver. I got it valued at £140 cos it has incurred a bit of damage whilst in my hands but i still wont sell it. Ill never bloody read it its aimed at consultant radiologists which ill NEVER be (shoot me if i spend 3 years doing radiography which i hate, only to do 5 years medicine to be a doctor and bloody well specialising in the thing i HATE and couldnt wait to get away from)

Incidentally if anyone wants to buy the book let me know. Ill accept £120. :lol:

Off to bed for me and hopefully ill get up early enough to get a good few hours shopping - i mean assignment writing.

[DrPie]

Sorry to keep posting you on your weblog (feel like Im interupting ops: )

I was just wondering if you had read Insiders Guide to medical School. Its very useful for applicants who are going to apply to med school- like what your personal statement should include, what kind of medical course you might prefer and how to perform at interview.

The BMA also have a number of free booklets they send out- should you email them and ask- visit their website www.bma.org.uk- as they have lots of interesting stuff allied to medicine.

[kittykatty]

Eek!

Anyway on with the weblog...

I did go shopping ops: I must have spent about hmmm...26...10...4....10.. over £50 anyway. I feel awful! I do get paid soon but its only going to be about £120 which is barely anything compared to the amount i owe.
Thing is i lie about stuff too saying ive had a top for ages when ive only just bought it. I hate this its getting stupid now.

Everytime i say im going to stop buying stuff i just seem to end up buying more! I wish that bloody loan would come through to make my account balance look a bit less worrying!

the pledge:

RIGHT THATS IT IM NOT SPENDING A BLOODY PENNY ON STUFF I DONT NEED ANYMORE. MONEY WILL ONLY BE SPENT ON PETROL (and car tax cos thats due soon god damn it)

FROM THIS DAY FORTH.

Ill keep you updated with that PLEDGE. I really hope i manage it because im going to end up in real trouble if i carry on like this.

On the plus side someone bid a fiver for one of my pieces of crap on the auction site. Wow thatll pay for the green eyeshadow i bought today!!!

Oh, and someone outbid me on this bid i made on a top which i would have been mad about yesterday but after THE PLEDGE im pleased.

Assignment still isnt started. Its one of those assignments i really do not want to do because im just not interested in what it is i have to do. This is the problem with doing degrees purely for degrees sake. I mean im not saying i was interested in english language and i managed to do ok at a-level but degree is much more in depth and it seems you have to put a lot more effort in to get good marks.

Im just watching that intersex program. I do hope the people who taunt these people are watching and realise they have feelings and have been through enough of a tough time physically without having ignorant people making it worse. How brave of them to come on tv and say all this. im embarassed enough telling the doctor about my cystitis symptoms never mind describing my genetalia to the country on TV!

Today i went shopping again.......OK OK its OK i went with my mum and didnt spend anything!!! Still no further bids on my crap.

I was supposed to start my assignment tonight but theres too much on TV.


I hope fluffy comes back i always felt she was the life and soul of this forum. She seems to have a post in every single thread and i cant understand why anyone would complain about her. Maybe they have a problem with authority??? I dont know whats going on im just a mere member of the public.

Anyway if youre reading this put channel 4 on cos that program about the intersex is good.

[kittykatty]

Update on THE PLEDGE: Bought some easter eggs today. oops. I HAD to though i cant not buy people easter eggs just cos im on a pledge not to spend!!

Tried to do THE ASSIGNMENT today. Went to the library at uni but they wouldnt let me take any books out cos i owe an obscene amount of money from fines. Oops. Serves them right - they should take credit cards and I i would have paid it off ages ago. Anyway what a waste of time that was. Well i cant do it without books can i! I think i might apply for 'extenuating circumstances' due to lack of books due to lack of funding. Do you think ill get it? No neither do i. If i break my leg though............. It cant be THAT painful can it??

Watched Trauma at 8.00 on BBC1. It was good. I liked the way i was part of the trauma team, but they did mention us last, like oh yeah...and radiographers take the pics. In the end i think they called for a radiologist anyway didnt they. I havent been to A&E much yet so havent seen any open book fractures like that. I could have done with that xray for my assignment. If anyone works at that hospital can you get on the system and print it off for me?? Things are so quiet at the moment at the hospital there arent any interesting x-rays really. DAMN YOU PEOPLE NOT INJURING YOURSELVES ENOUGH!

See this is what our method of assessment does to us. It makes us WANT people to hurt themselves just so we can nick the xray and put it in our files. Evil! Like ive said - it should just be a big exam with a practical bit where they give us fake people to x-ray. Theyre spawning a generation of EVIL health professionals.

I wish people wouldnt give me easter eggs before easter. Im full of chocolate already. Well if theyre just sitting there you cant exactly NOT eat them can you? Anyway im not religious so feel the need to get rid of these religious symbols from my presence, and the only ECONOMICAL way of doing so is by eating them. Im so full my stomach is so much bigger than it was this morning. Why is that by the way? Why does your abdominal regoin swell up when you eat? I know the food goes into your stomach for a few hours and then goes round the intestine so why is the entire region so much bigger until you sleep and then it disappears until you eat something, even if that something is just an apple.

Is it psychological?

Anyway im procrastinating.

No medical fact today as i cant think of anything interesting. Have any of them been interesting? Probably not, but i just cant think of anything at all that not everyone is likely to already know.

Byebye :wink:
