I could write about the fact that it has been so long since I last wrote on my blog, that I had forgotten all my sign in details and spent the last 30 mins trying many different combinations to get in - ovbiously I finally cracked the codes made up by my simplistic brain. The answer was so simple and obvious but for some reason I wanted to make it more complicated than it really was! Yes, I could write more about this - but I wont.

Here are some answers to FAQ's about my recent truancy from the blogging world and what has been happening in the other areas of my life.

1. Where have I been?
I have been studying - doing work. Trying to expand the horizon on my brain scape.

2. How is OT going?
Good. Yesterday I taught someone how to use a walking stick properly. I am still working on the wheelchair part. Surprisingly, I can lift it up and down kerbs ok (provided the person in it isn't huge). It's actually the steering I have troubles with. I can't seem to get it to go where I want! I've been practising with the wheelie bins at home but they are not much easier and I am often horrified by the results - let's just say I don't want any patients ending up like the wheelie bins!
But don't be afraid - I am improving!

3. What about the massages?
See a physio, it's what they do.

4. I heard you are learning counselling, can you therapise me?
Maybe, let's wait until after I pass before I try to help and end up psychologically damaging you instead!

5. What's your campus like?
Great! Out of the city and next to a cemetery - less people around and lots of resources for anatomy! (yes, that was a very poor joke - lets face it, someone else would have gone there even if I hadn't!)

6. What do you do when you're not at uni?
My hillbilly music group called "Blackeyed Fred and the Chicken Drumsticks" is going on tour.
Blackeyed Fred plays a mean spoons solo.
KIDDING!
Truth is that I haven't had heaps of free time which is why it has taken me so long to write on my blog! But I am hoping for some Pirate fun soon, when I go to see the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. ahr! Actually - funny story time - I did one of those test thingy's to find out what my ideal jobs was and, apparently, my ideal job would be a Pirate! YAY!

7. Has it all been good then?
No, there have been some hard and sad moments this semester.
I said goodbye to a good friend at the airport last week. The good side is that I now have another wonderful "Canuck" friend and am hoping to visit Canada - when I have more money!

8. Are you and your house mates still sane?
No

9. Is the house still standing?
Yes

10. Was the last episode of Angel Season 5 good?
No, it was frustrating and I don't understand what happened.

Hope that covers all bases people! Hopefully I'll post again soon!
