Agghh, in the 4th year of a 5 year degree in Biomedical Science, which is very enjoyable though demanding. Have been very disciplined and motivated. However, this term I have been more easily distracted, probably because I have just moved to a exciting new city,..and its a long haul doing a five year degree. Have my Christmas exams in 3 weeks….feels a bit like a steep hillwalk, and that there is a real risk that I could fail them. I suppose that is a good thing , cos it means I’ve got “THE FEAR”..which always gives you a kick up the ass.The last two days have been a complete waste as study goes, only got two hours done each day, which is scary. Need to remember, every step is a step forward…and today is a new day. That is why I am putting this on my list today, to remind myself, this is the major goal in my life at the moment, and it is todays goal, will keep you posted on how I am doing and if anybody has interesting experiences in the same vein, would love to hear them. Best Foot Forward, onward and upward!!

I am currently in college training as a Biomedical Scientist. One of the reasons I chose this profession was to contribute to the wellbeing of other people.
However, the job is one that is very cut off from the people in difficulty.
As a child I grew up never quite fitting in and generally feeling like an outsider.This was a big part of my life and the feeling is very familiar to me. I was fortunate enough to come from a loving family and to have a roof over my head and food in my stomach, so I was never truely lacking in the important things in life. However, there are people who really are, and as a result live on the fringes of society without a way to get back in. They may have been beaten and abused as children, may be homeless, may be segregated against in society for whatever reason. Those are the people I want to help.

Have recently discovered that Bread Soda (Baking Soda) is an amazing natural detergent. Had a blocked drain in my house and went and bought a hard core commercial drain unblocking solution to sort it out….it didn’t work. Read that equal volumes of bread soda and salt can be used to clear drains. Was desperate so tried it out….worked within an hour!!!! Can use bread soda to clean surfaces, fridges, get rid of smells etc its fantastic. Will be using it from now on as a household cleaning agent. The fishes will definitely thank me.
