 uni I was only at uni 11 to 1 today so it was a very short day and I've got back from uni and look my t-shirts arrived. I haven't told you this yet but we've set up a team we're gonna be walking for the Alzheimer's Society it's called the memory walk and that's here in September at some point. I can't wait we're gonna raise some money hopefully for dementia but I'll post the link and you can have a look what it is what we're gonna do and yeah if you're interested in doing a walk for the Alzheimer's Society you might want to see but the nearest one available to you is that makes sense sometimes my words come out backwards don't know if you've noticed but yes so today at university it was only a two-hour lecture we were just going over what we're gonna be doing for our assignment and posters it was like a tutorial session again the same as we did for our leaflet and rationale so it's the same for our dementia poster and our dementia assignment that we've got so we just did that it was a good session we found out that we've just got a couple of tweaks that we need to make to our poster so that was for poster group we've done a couple of tweaks and I'm hoping just one last little section that we need to just add and then it's a hundred percent finalised and I keep saying this but this time it's a hundred percent finalised and we can run for a week and make sure we know what we're talking about ready for our poster presentation. Good morning everybody it's half past seven the scorching hot day I don't know what temperature it is but it feels like it's 20 I'm sure it's not 20 at half past seven in the morning but that's how it feels it's hot I've got the day off from uni but I've got a bank shift to pick up the bank shift today so on the way to my bank shift and I'm working 10 till 5 today and hopefully it's gonna be a great day I'm at a different clinic today so I'm really excited to go and see everybody there I haven't seen those people for a year just so I'm really excited to see everybody and catch up with everyone see what everyone's up to and so I'll see you all later. I'm at work and look what I've got I've got ice lollies for everyone I've got juice for everyone it's gonna be a scorching hot day and everyone's gonna need to stay cool. So I've just been to Walter University campus to meet up with the magazine guys and it was so good the campus the course I'm building in town it's just behind me I don't know if you can see from there it's down there anyway and it's just fantastic it's such a nice building it's modern it's fresh there's like loads of seating areas it's really light and airy there's little pods that you can sit in I'm gonna show you now and I took some videos whilst I was inside so you can all have a look it's amazing just another reason why you should come to Walter University. I had a second session of Law and Ethics which was really good we got to sit in groups and then we were given a task like a scenario to work out and understand the law and ethics behind that scenario so that was quite good and it's really useful for again for our assignment so fingers crossed my assignment's gonna be amazing but it's all really good information and then the first session was all about end of life and we had to define what end of life was between end of life and palliative care it's a really touchy subject and we've got showing this amazing YouTube video called Dying Matters I'm gonna post the links below please go and have a look at it because it really makes you think about end of life and if you're caring for someone with end of life needs so go and have a look at that it's really emotional I'm gonna warn you now it's almost as emotional as Barbara's story and it just it really makes you think and you think oh my god so go and have a look so it was an emotional day and that was to start the day so today was great I got home probably about half seven I think because we're at uni one till six so it was quite a late one so today I am off what so I've got the day off got to go to Solihull today I'm taking my laptop in because my laptop crashed it's dead it's gone it's RIP laptop and I didn't realize that it was still in its warranty so I'm gonna take it in hopefully they're gonna fix it or give me a new one and fingers crossed it's gonna be a great day so let's see what happens got that Friday feeling it's Friday I'm on my way to meet Kev who's giving me a one-to-one coaching session as part of the Haas and then I've got a lecture 12 or two and then I meet in my group at three o'clock for our fine just finishing off our literally last bits to the poster and then we have to do a run-through of the poster and it's not something we've done yet so I have to time it and make sure we're doing good so I'll see you all later I'm back so I've got back and my friend Taylor told me that she had sent me a letter slash present slash parcel I love getting mail like nobody writes letters anymore everything's online and everything's emails or text messages I love handwritten letters so I'm gonna open it here stickers Darth Vader what that is?

So today I had an amazing session with Kev from the Haas team and we just talked about all of the insights profiling and how I haven't talked about insights have you have I yet so you're probably thinking what the hell's insights so insights is basically is a questionnaire thing that you fill out and according to your answers and the questions and every the way you answer things it sort of analyzes what sort of person you are and it brings out this colorful thing and I'm this mixture of green color which is more of a caring neutrin sort of personality so can use the insights profile to sort of mold myself and use my strengths and weaknesses that it shows me to enable me to become my best self and also it tells you what your opposite is so my worst nightmare and how to deal with that person if I was ever to come up against that person so it's really useful and it's just great and it's a great tool if say for instance you're in conflict with someone at work or at university or wherever you are anyway if you've got a conflict with someone it's really useful to know what color energy and what sort of person they are coming across if they're like aggressive and stuff it sort of enables you to understand how to turn the situation around to benefit both you so that you can work together in harmony so that's what we did today I picked up some really good points today from Kev and I'm going to use them to mold myself and be better and I definitely need improving and to become my best self I need to work on myself so that was great and then I went to university met up with my poster group again and did a little a couple of little things and we added some things in to hopefully make our poster presentation better that's our plan and next week we have to submit it we have to submit that through the e-submissions online next week next Friday I think it's the 6th and then on the 11th is our post presentation which I keep telling you this but I think we're on it we are on it we are organized I haven't got any concerns at all about this post presentation because I think we're gonna be all right and the only worry I have is we don't know what questions they're gonna ask so if they ask us something and we don't know something that's gonna be a big no no so we need to make sure we know everything about our poster and the research that we've done behind it so fingers crossed it's gonna be alright so that's all I've really got to talk to you about for today tomorrow it's open day university I'm so excited like I just can't contain it do you know what I've never been to an open day for my university so this is like not only am I helping them out but I'm getting inside access like I'm really living the moment I should have had before I was a student so that's really exciting and obviously I'm gonna vlog I'm gonna vlog about it I'm gonna show you what it's like to be at BCU open day and actually I might go around and see how many freebies I can get for myself well anyone know I'm a student I'm gonna work out who's on the stalls do I know them can I get freebies I'm gonna I'm gonna try this guys tomorrow so that's what I'm gonna do tomorrow also in the morning at half past nine in the morning I'm gonna be talking to all of the students I'm gonna do a little speech about why they should come to that BCU how it's helped me the things I'm involved with and yeah that's gonna give me a little bit more confidence with my public speaking so excited I can't wait I love meeting new students I love welcoming all of the new students into our university I love talking to all the first years during welcome week it just it makes me so happy and it makes makes me so happy meeting students and then seeing their journey through first year it's just I love it I love it so much yeah I'm really excited I can't wait to show you all open day I haven't shown you my t-shirt look at my t-shirt okay you're ready for this I am BCU look at it it looks massive I purposely got a medium because I knew it was gonna be hot weather so I thought if I get a medium it'll be baggy and I'll be able to breathe so I'm here for the open day and I'm here to talk to all of the students that are gonna be sat here bit of a freebie dash at the end and I got a birthday program water bottle pen everyone loves a pen and I don't know what's in these boxes but I'm gonna have a look oh BMI and a measuring tape magic box number two we have a pedometer now that's a good freebie also got free lunch so that's it it's a day it's done and I've had such a fantastic time a really great experience and I'm so glad I got this opportunity to do today and it's really worth coming to an open day if you're looking into it
