So I had a meltdown as at Christmas event on Sunday. I don’t know what really went on I don’t remember much of it. One min I’m having a great time the next I’m in tears and feeling all alone. I can’t face seeing the people I was with that day (other than OH) or…
My finances laid bare
What can I say about my finances, other than they can only improve from this point forward. I have a few different strategies for certain debts: statute-barred; repayment; DMP. I used to be in a Debt Management Plan and I even had a DRO at one point but I never learned my lesson so it…
What is going on…
So how are my grades looking so far? Not good actually. The group presentation came back as 52 and all but one person in our group thought that was a crap grade. My acute care grade came back as 40!! That same person above went and failed! I’m barely going to get a 2:2 this…

Update on university life so far
Year 1 marks As you can see my marks are average. PCP was a load of crap 🙁 The units that are PASS are only pass or fail. Annoying as the pass exam I got 100% and only needed 80% to pass. I am a solid 2:2 student so far. I’d like 2:1 but I…
That time I start thinking I have MH issues
I’ve always thought I’d had things going on in my head, I just was good as suppressing them. I’d have down days, feel depressed, not want to leave the house or do anything days. I think it has started to come to ahead this year. During my first placement in ED in March/April I was…
Body scan results
On Monday I went to my very first CrossFit class but first I had my body scan done. According to the scan, I am 89.4 kg (197 lb) with a body fat of 36.7%!!!! That is what one of my 2 scales at home says but still WTF. Even if it isn’t accurate at least…
First time doing the Clean
My last 1-2-1 I worked on the Hang/Power Clean move. First using a dowl to work to break down the movement then onto a 7.5kg training barbell then to a 15kg bar with 10kgs. I need lots of work on this move, like most people starting out. The hang positioning at the top, the hip…
When you just want to throw up.
I had my second 1-2-1 on Wednesday, I wanted to die! Warm up then got working on presses to find out my 3RM. I’ve never been good with this exercise, I have no arm strength. vs strict press I started with 15kg bar for the strict press, moving to 20kg then 25kg then 30kg. Couldn’t…
