What a marathon day

What a marathon day. OSCE to start the day off. Before I realised the exam was so near, I was already sitting in the dietetic department in Alfred with half of the class, being sequestered for the oral exam. Nothing could calm our nerves - not by talking of nonsense which Sara & I attempted. A brief discussion went off on what topic the exam could be on -- "definitely not coeliac, too specialised.. gastro would more likely be on constipation, or GORD..." Guess what? The most unexpected was indeed the chosen-one - coeliac disease. Argh~ Least expected, least prepared. Not to mention the lengthy questions instead of just the "goals & objectives". Pretty sure I walked out of the exam room with one single feeling - traumatised.

But soon after i left the Alfred, i headed down to MCHS for my next event - the award presentation night of "Kids: Go For Your Life". That joy of being back in MCHS just radiated through me. And soon enough i did manage to forget about the dreadful exam. Anne Gu Gu was still as hilarious as usual, while all the kinder teachers appeared to be as passionate to the initiative as ever. The display booths were nicely decorated, showing evidence of what had been happening in the kinders during the implementation of the initiative. Before long the hall was filled with the festive atmosphere with nothing but pride & happiness. It was so good to be part of the project team, seeing the sprouting effects of the program & enjoying this final joy. Well, MCHS did have a booth too, which was mainly designated to Janet & I for our poster. We were kind of embarrass on how empty our table was in comparison to the other displays. Haha... Nevertheless, our poster did attract some people who came forward to ask questions on our project.

And, finally at 9pm, i almost rushed off like Cinderella - to the airport to pick up my dear Kheng Ling. It was my first time driving so much in a day, not to mention the night long drive to the airport. What made things worse was the unexpected road blocks in the city where I was stuck, panicking & knowing Kheng Ling must have started to turn into a stone at the airport. Poor girl, ended up waiting for 1+hour~ But well, really glad to see her back in Melbourne.

Home time was 1am, exhausted.

P.S. Oh, it was so embarraseed to be caught red-handed by a kinder teacher outside KFC where Janet & I had our quick dinner. She had the intention of making tomorrow headline as "Student Dietitians Caught Eating Unhealthy Fastfood". Ooops. Ya. We shouldn't have done it, not right before the award presentation for HEALTHY eating. Hahahah..
