Ok woops it's been a while since I've updated. Damn. Stupid internet cafes - one hour is not enough .________. Neither is two hours.

Anyway, so how has placement been? Well two weeks have passed already and we only have 5 days left with Winnie. Sadface. Aww I love her - she's like my mum. Lol. Only that she's taller and darker. Yesterday she took us to the Chinese takeaway spot and bought us lunch - yet again. The other day she got us peanuts and bananas and paw paw. And if we're not eating food in the building, we're talking about food - woohooo. So funny. Met her daughter, Pareina who I have to look up on Facebook now and she might come swimming with us today, hopefully! It's so great that Winnie can talk to us about her ideas for the future and stuff - she's planning to move to a different place, start OHS classes with companies and focus more on ergonomics and that. She's got a whole world of opportunities it seems! We're also working on getting her down to Melbourne cos she wants to do a placement here and see how things work.

The main patients we've seen so far are mainly low back pain patients and mainly the expats working too hard. Also saw DDH girl, someone with neck pain, SS tendinitis, a foot extensor tendinopathy and ITB friction syndrome. A fairly good range. Haven't been to the hospital as yet since they are so disorganised - missed out on working at the National Games too but oh well! Hopefully we get a few hours next week at the hospital just to have a browse (they start at 7.30 so umm full day there maybe no thanks XDD).

Right more about the cost of things here. Things really are not cheap. Eating in saves SO much and we've only eaten out about twice or 3x a week for these first two weeks which is great - means that I've spent about AUD800 in these 2 weeks...pretty good I think. Just saving up for our last week where we can go a little crazy :) My camera died on the Coongoola cruise - WORST. One second we were taking photos of me going into the toilet, the next I looked at it and turned it off. Turned it on again and it was a WHITE screen with like a sperm on the LHS. Weird. I am trying to arrange to borrow one of our patient's cameras - a Canon - for the next two weeks - she's a kava drinker and I think last night she was a bit high on it and forgot to call us. Funny. Anyway, I am coping with my dead camera - just a bit. I think Tara is sick of me complaining so I shut up. :P

Can't wait for Thursday when my pj sis join me. Smexy times await. :)
