I was up and on the tram at 6 as planned. I was pretty sleepy and missed my stop. Oops. Luckily the team line ends about 100m past my stop so no big deal. Spin class was lovely. I showered and went to the library. I took my 2 hour marketing final. It was hard and he wanted exact phrases from the book. I still got an a. I have mad searching skills. The morning classes were wrist anatomy and muscle composition. For lunch I got coffee.

The birthday girl liked her cookies and found a pretty flower. 
I was feeling good like I had actually made friends but they were going to 7-eleven and showing up to class late so I ditched them. I want to be friendly but I left my family, my friends, my country, and my belongings to get an education. If I wanted to hang out I would be at home.
Our 2 afternoon classes were more introduction to research. She said that test tube studies are bad research. I think what she meant to say is that although laboratory studies have a high level of accuracy due to the controlled environment, there is sometimes problems translating the results to clinical practice. Oh well. She also told us that our groups were assigned and that I was one of 5 who didn't get my choice. We then got an email about community groups and I was 1 of 7 who didn't get my choice and will be randomly assigned. I'm 0 for 3 right now on my preferred groups. I might try to see if they'll reconsider since I'm the only one to get reassigned all 3 times.
Does anyone remember what I originally wanted to go to college for? Athletic training! Well what do you know the university has set me up to work as an athletic trainer. This is different from my clinical placement. It is a position where I get to work with older students 8 hours a week to be a trainer for a football team(Aussi rules). Pretty cool!
Katie wanted to make quesadillas for dinner but didn't know how so I ended up taking over. After dinner I worked on anatomy until the Internet started acting up. At that point it was 830. My allergies have been bothering me and I didn't feel so hot so I used it as an excuse to go to bed early.
