Osteoathritis

Just started researching osteoarthritis. Have to hand in a paper about the disease after xmas. *sigh*
I have to write 2 A4 pages about it, in our folder we have ½A4 page about it. Here’s my mindmap about it so far.

Why I’m writing this? I’m stalling because I don’t really want to write it :P

Good morning!

Yes I know it’s 13:30, but for me it’s morning cos i’m still in bed :P Ebba didn’t come home til 7ish this morning so I don’t want to wake her :P

Yesterday was fun! Getting used to being underwater was a bit wierd, and sort of cold! I didn’t ace all the manouvers, but I think I did a pretty good job anyway. The things I weren’t very good at were, orally filling my vest while sinking and breathing with the mouthpiece by my mouth with the airflow on full. Think I’ll have to change my flippers, they were a bit tight. All in all it was fun, but I think it will be more fun outdoors :P

Now i’m off to buyi my brother a b-day present!

07:08

Morning all, I am soooo tired. Didn’t sleep very well last night at all.

Yesterday I had my first diving theory lesson. I thought it was alot of fun :) We went through the basics of underwater pressure and how it affects our air supply etc. Then we got to connect our air flask with the breathing system and our diving vests, and helped each other put them on. Heavy!! There’s 3 other people doing the course. All guys,1 so I felt abit weak, but I could lift the stuff at least!

After school today I think some of us are going out to eat or have a coffee or something. Should be nice :) Our pool lesson today has been canceled which is pretty nice, Because he said that when we have our first pool lesson we’ll be there until 22:30. First pool lesson is Friday, which is good because I don’t have school the next day!

Listening to Yiruma at the moment. He’s brilliant, you should check him out! That is, if you like pretty, instrumental music :)

New passtime!

A.Eve has gotten me addicted to scrabble. I’m not even that good really, but i did mannage to get a 70+ point word. CODFISH! :P I just logged off facebook which is where I play, I do need to study really. Have a “test” tomorrow. We have to analayze a person from one of the other classes and find out what’s “wrong” with them. I think they get a list of symptoms and then vice versa, I get to be the one with “problems” :P

I also have my first diving theory lesson tomorrow! So pretty excited about that, just have to take extra food with me tomorrow.. Bet i’ll be really tired by the end of the day. All those lessons and biking everywhere.

For those of you who think we just massage eachother all day, that’s not the case. For example we studied eachothers bodies in our underwear. It was kinda wierd standing there while two people tried to find all your flaws! :P

I was just listening to the echo bunnies new album, but I decided to change to Rihannas. It’s pretty good. Thought she was a bit odd on the xFactor though. GO JOE btw :)

Time to study!

tt
Krista

Finished all my exams for this term! :D

 

66/66 Basic medicine
72/77 Anatomy and Physiology
Passed the practical exam

YAY! I’m super happy with my results. So some of us are going out tonight to celebrate. Too bad I have to take a bus back that leaves 23:30.. But we have school tomorrow anyway so I guess I need some sleep!

Deer are so stupid. I was biking home the day before yesterday and there were two deer on the cycle path. They didn’t move until I was like 2m from them. Aren’t the supposed to be cautious animals? I mean my bike isn’t quiet in the slightest, I would have thought they’d have moved sooner, but I guess they’re just dense…

Yesterday was our final evening of customers/clients/patients, whatever you want to call them :P I was so tired by the end that I had my eyes closed while massaging the last person :P Studying and exams really drain your energy!

Not much else to report on, going back to Ulricehamn tomorrow!

Feeling Crazy

Don’t know what to do!

Just got back from school. It’s benn a stressful two days. Yesterday I hav my final anatomy and physiology exam. It' wasn’t easy but it wasn’t too difficult either. I think I passed anyway, results on Thursday!!!

Today was our final practical test. We each got a list of muscles and parts of the body we had to point out on our partner. That also wen’t pretty well even though I was really really nervous and messed up on a couple of things. Good thing we have a nice teacher that knew what I actually meant :P

This afternoon we learnt how to tape different parts of the body. For support if you’ve sprained something etc. It was alot of fun, even though the tape hurt to pull off! OW!

I’ve been trying to contact linda for the last two days, but alas no answer. So i’m not sure if I need to go home this weekend or not. But I probablly won’t since it costs alot and i’ll only be home for 2 days.

Tomorrow’s the last day we have customers at school. Yay! It’s not that I don’t like massaging people, it just takes alot out of you.

Diving starts next week!!!!!!!! I’m pretty excited about that :) Guess I’ll have to study some more this weekend so I remember everything!

I realised..

That I haven’t written here in a while. So I took a quick break from studying to update you all!

I took the bus back up here to Linköping yesterday after a week and a half at home. This is our second week of home studies so it’s back to school on monday.

I had a great time at home, nice to see everyone, which also meant that I didn’t really have the motivation to study. So here’s a quick summary of my days at home:

FRIDAY: Got the bus from Linköping to Jönköping at 13:55. Arrived in Jönköping at 15:30. Contacted Victor to find out where he was, he hadn’t found the busstation yet. When he had “found” the busstation he called. Then there was a big missunderstanding. I couldn’t find him anywhere, then finally did at another bus station for local busses. Pic below:

So about an hour after i got to Jönköping we left for Ulricehamn. Later in the evening I went to a party which was pretty fun. Wouldn’t have minded going to the bar with some of the others to dance, but our ride was leaving.

SATURDAY: Mum and I went to borås to get our nails done, her hands my feet. It was really nice. I got to sit in a massage chair and everything :D Mum’s nails looked fab (our birthday present for mum), had a look in some shops, bought some stuff. Then we picked Josh up and had sushi! Yum yum! Treated mum to that too.

SUNDAY: Met the other people that will be in Ulricehamns variety show this year. Discussed ideas etc and I feel excited about this! We celebrated mums b’day later, I was a bit late but thankfully there was food left ;)
Cake and champagne! You can see mums nails in the background of the swiss roll pic:

Then it was desired that I massage a few people. So here are a few pics of that:

Josh was a real wimp! It’s my chin, josh and chey thought it’d be funny to draw on and film my chin. The video was pretty funny… :P

MON,TUES,WED: Not much happened those days that i recall :P

THURS: Elin and I “kidnapped” Rasmus. In other words we picked him up to go see a film at Frans’s house. Unfortunatly we only got to see 1 film cos Rasmus’s 6 month yr old dog couldn’t be left alone too long. But we had a good time while we were there :D When we got back to Rasmus’s… Ozzy (dogs name) had pulled off pits of wallpaper and started eating his basket xD I really like ozzy, sure he was playful and all but really cute :D I think he was an english springer spaniel.

FRIDAY: Shopped with Elin and bought wii fit! Partied with Elin. We went to the bar in town where we met some people, including Tina who I haven’t seen in ages :)

SATURDAY: Party at davids, halloween!
 

SUNDAY: Kabe was going home so we had curry at A.Lyz’s tasty!!

MON,TUES: Nothing in particular happened. Played wii fit :P

WED: Victor took me to the bus stop 13:30 arrived in Linköping 16:25. Took the local bus home then back into town to get my bike. The bike lights I bought are great :) Was snowing a bit then.

THURS: Today! Ate breakfast and started studying. It’s been snowing all day but it isn’t settling thank goodness. Temperature is +1 outside. Well I’m going to get back to making my flashcards. Thanks again mum for cutting them out and writing on the front :D

Carrot cake and other stuff.

Lets start with fun stuff like. New clothes! Yay!

 

I got a new dress 100kr and a new shirt 100kr. Bargains!

 

I also got my diving books, I’m excited! Wish someone else could do it with me though..

Snacks. Yum yum.

 

Havn’t been doing much this weekend. I woke up at 12 saturday, watched two films and then some series and then went to bed (I ate of course). So not very happening :P

 

Visa fullständigt album

Today I baked a cake, cause someone always bakes/buys something for the other people in my corridor every sunday. Unfortunately I mixed up the ingredients so instead of 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon I used tablespoons.. I burnt the cakes aswell, probablly because the oven was on start.. Ah well they liked it anyway. I cut off the burnt bits. And there’s a pic of how much cake was left :P Looks tasty doesn’t it :P

Well I’ve got school tomorrow so I better go to bed now.

Good night all!

Scary

About 20mins ago I woke up. Thought I’d watch Bleach (japanese series) while eating breakfast. Plugged my laptop in and pressed the on button… Pressed the On button…Pressed the ON button! But alas, it was in vain since my stupid laptop didn’t want to cooperate at all. I started to panic a little bit, I mean I didn’t know what to do, so I sent a text to someone who probablly would, my brother :) I asked if he’d ever experienced anything like this with his laptop and he said once. So I followed his instructions and here I am! Thanks Josh, you’re a lifesaver :)

So If anyone reading this has a packard bell and it suddenly stops working for no apparent reason. Take the battery out and just use the power chord.

I’m going to call some places to see if I can have my work experience there (that’s why I needed the internet) and study some more.

Breakfast time!
Have a nice day.

tt
Krista

Bed time for me.

Had a nice time this weekend with Victor. Too bad school isn’t closer to home.

Tomorrow just gonna be a day of studying, I’ll probs just hang out in the library all day. I might go to the diving center as well to check it out!

Good night all!
Stone sour- bother

Krista

Hello!

Victor’s here yay! :) Not gonna be on my billy this weekend :) Why do you say on my billy? I mean they were three billygoats so they can’t have been that lonely? Maybe the saying’s about another goat, or maybe it’s not even a real saying and i’ve got it wrong :P

Oh well, we’re gonna catch the bus in a minute, check out some music shops and eat at McDonalds, fancy huh ;)

tt
Krista

Good morning

I have a crazy day ahead of me. First we have school from 10-15 then we have customers from 15.30-20.40. Looong day. Living here is going fine, Victor’s coming up on Friday, yay :) I sent an e-mail to the diving center saying I wanted to join the course in December. I got an answer saying to come down and pick up my stuff and pay the startin fee. So I’m gonna do that next week when I have home studies.

I bought a book on the internet: New moon movie companion, I think that’s what it’s called. A book about the filming of new moon, not long left now, just a couple of weeks!!! :D

Nothing else new, I cooked a delicious meal yesterday, that’s about it :P

And it actually works.

Alot easier than having to log onto blogspot. :) Watching Swedish Hollywood Wives. :P

Just trying out the new windows live programs.

Diving course

I just found a diving course in Linköping (where I'm currently living) and am seriously considering taking it. It's an open water diving course, a total of about 40 hours and costs 4500kr which is about £405. So not too bad, I don't think anyway. Starts on the 1st of December so I might have a diving certificate by the time everyone arrives :P It's PADI approved which is apparently good and we also learn how to use dry-suits, not sure what that means but I read that it was good to learn how to do that aswel.

Today has been pretty slow, I went food shopping, studied, well aslepp and watched tv. SO tomorrow I really have to get off my butt :P and study! Have a test on basic medicine on monday.

Elisa has swine flu! But she's not that sick, hope she gets better soon :) And melissa has joined the airforce, kinda crazy but she has her reasons.


POPCORN



Where we eat and part of the kitchen :)

Wow

End of the week and I've moved into a new room. Tough work moving all my bags by myself. Ebba was gonna help, but she didn't finish till 3. I finished at 1 and you know me. I like to get stuff done so I was pretty much ready by the time she got home, she helped me bike my food over and had a look at the room. I took some pics:

Yesterday's lesson was really trying. We must have gone through like 15 muscles, my head was spinning by the end. But it did get 40/40 on my first anatomy och fysiology test :D

Today I'm just gonna take it easy. Go into town and have a look around. Maybe buy some stuff. Got my loan money and wages yesterday so now I feel rich :)

More comments please! ;)

Hello!
Mum wanted me to take some pics of school. So here are a few, plus some other stuff!

The first 2 pics are of my homework :P I've drawn a pic of one of the muscles on our back. Hard work! Pics 3 and 4 are outside school. 5 is the reception/shop. 6 is just our school symbol + a pic of two of my teachers :P And the last 3 are of a study room, and the most important room of all, where we eat!! ;)

I'm a bit worried about tomorrow, we'll have our first customers. 4, 45m passes in a row. 'phew' I'll be sweaty!

Just wanna say thanks to Josh for putting pretty odd and owl city on my iPod. Thanks!! :D

Bed time soon, looong day tomorrow. I'm also gonna call about a flat tomorrow, fingers crossed!

Back in Linköping.

Ok, so now I'm back. I had a great time back home, and now I'm back in Linköping.
Which isn't a whole lot of fun, I just want to get my own place :P I'm moving out of Ebba's on friday so that'll be good. But it won't be my own space. Gonna be checking out a flat tomorrow or the day after so hopefully it'll be good :)

I havn't done much this week, couple of parties and just been taking it easy! I bought a new pair of boots and a watch necklace, all in all about as much money as food costs for a month :P

Elisa passed her driving test, congratulations! Though I didn't get to see her drive because her gran wouldn't let her use her car :P

Well I don't have much else to say right now, thinking about filming me playing guitar later on in the week, I'll have to take some pics of my school too..

Home

I haven't written for a couple of days. Mostly due to lack of time, but also because I haven't had anything interesting to write about :P

Last week was pretty tiring. Alot of info to cram into my head! Anyways, we went bowling thursday night, which was alot of fun, buuuut, I was obviously the worst player, and probablly had 3-4 goes when I didn't hit a single pin!! Awell, can't be good at everything in life ;) Bowling will just have to slip by my credentials.

Friday night I took the bus home, which I have decided I won't be doing too often because it's a 3 hour trip on a full bus. Not much fun, not enough leg room. I'm kinda gratefull I don't have long legs but it's still cramped. There was an accident on the 40 so really the trip was 3½ hours. I'm home now anyway and it's a relive. I actually get to sleep in a bed! :) I'm moving out of Ebba's pretty soon anyway. I'm home until sunday. then i'm off back up for another week of school. Then I'm moving out :) It's not that it isn't fun living with Ebba, It's just that people need space.

A classmate asked me to move in with her, so that's what I'm gonna do! We're going to look at a flat next week :)

I got shot in the head today, oww! Not a real bullet, just a soft air gun one. It's biodegradable so they're made out of compressed potatoes and card :P I was out with Victor and some friends, taking pics while in combat. Kinda frustrating not having a gun to protect yourself with. Got some ok snapps. Needed a different kind of camera than JOsh's though.

I though I'd catch up on some studying, but no go. I'm watching Notting Hill on tv. Haven't seen it in ages. Spike's brilliant :D

Well I'm gonna watch the rest of the film.
More updates later this week :)

FOOD!

I feel like a housewife :p As soon as I got in the door I started to cook and I'm still waiting for it to finish cooking. "It" would be a pie, A nice, tasty, delicious smelling pie. I want it to be ready now!!! But it won't be ready for another 20 mins :(

When it's done I'm gonna go for a run, and then a shower and THEN I'll study :P

We've got our first test soon.. so I'm kinda freaking out about that. Not too much though. It's in two weeks.

What do you call a fish without any eyes?







a fsh! :P

Massage bench

Woo, got the massage bench up! I'll probs take it down in a bit though. kinda takes up alot of room.. Here it is anyways!

I bet your all jealous! 100kr a massage, sound any good? Or maybe I should charge 1 gift per massage :P I like presents :D

Well better get back to the books!

First saturday

Flat tyre :( My mechanical side coming forth!

My bike!

I got up early this morning, all pepped and ready to study. And what happens? I get on my bike and realize I have a flat tyre.. So I looked up some videos on youtube to see how to remove the inner tube and repair a puncture, actually acomplished removing the inner tube and... there's nothing wrong with the tube, just the vaulve. So I had to bike to biltema to get some supplies. A basket, a bike pump, 3 plastic thingys that you use to remove the tyre and a new inner tube 159:- hole in my purse. Ahwell I needed the stuff, the tube's a good quality one too.

After I made it back to the flat I ate and started studying. So now I know all the bones I'm supposed to know my monday. Nearly all the muscles and some other latin words we're supposed to learn :) I've also been watching sex and the city :D

I went for a run in the forest and then did a bit of Zumba :)

So sort of productive day, kinda boring too.

Krista

This week..

..has been really good. Everyone's really nice and we all get along.

Yesterday some of us met up at one of the girls flats and got to know each other a bit.

Her flat's really nice. It's all furnished and she's only been living there for 2 weeks! Anyways we had a nice time. Then we went to a club/restaurant called Platå which was quite nice. We met up with the second years and had a chat. But we all left pretty early because we started 8:15 this morning. We all did one whole body massage today. I was a bit nervous but it went really well. I only forgot one thing :P But it feels like I'm getting into the rythm of things.

I bought my massage bench today. Yay! :) I might put it up in a bit. Not sure yet. It was really hard to carry it thought. Fortunatly one of the women in my class gave me a lift to the bus station :)

Here it is!

Krista

Tired

Melissa called yesterday. It was great to hear from her. I miss her a lot L She’s doing pretty well, living with her dad and she might join the air force.

Today was really tiring. We’ve had anatomy and physiology all day. That means learning all the bones and muscles and where they’re attached and what they do. Lots and lots of new Latin words. I need to learn pretty much all the names of the bones by Monday. Phew.

At the end of the day, we met the other class that’s just starting their second year. We played some games and ate ice-cream. It was nice. Tomorrow they’re all going out to this place called Platån, so some of us might tag along and get to know each other. Should be nice J
I went for a run when I got back, the trails here are really nice. All through the forest, it’s nice running in nature with all the foresty smells.. Haha I sound crazy.

Anyways, after my nice sweaty run I checked my e-mails and I’ve got a room for a few weeks, yay!

Went to the shop and got some ingredients for a pie, mum sent me the recipe. It’s in the oven now. I’ll take a pic when it’s done and then upload this

tt

Krista

Flat

I might have finally found somewhere to live this term :)
I saw an ad on the university's site and just sent an e-mail.
The room's free for 7-8 weeks since the guy who lives there has got work experience.
He's study to be an occupational therapist which is similar to what I'm going to be studying.
His mum's american so he picked up my english accent pretty quickly, seemed nice and all that. I'll know in a day or two, he just wanted to check some things out, but he said i'll probablly get it :)

I'm going to say thank you to Elisa for my lucky budda, because I rubbed his tummy when I got home and now I practically have somewhere to live soon :P


Here he is!

Ebba's cooking at the moment, smells goooood ^_^
Anders is here too but he's just sitting on the bed :P
