I recently came across this website and yes, while it takes the piss out of some people here... I'm Australian,
so this comes naturally to me ^_^
There are some hilarious quotes
For exapmple - "All this "bloodsucking" they are talking about basically happens in AOL chat rooms every night."
Needs to be checked out :)

So, my grandma started chemo today, I have no idea how it went.. Giving her some time to rest as it's meant to leave her feeling a bit sick.
She has breast cancer which has progressed to her lungs. They can't remove it and she won't be going into remission. The doctors are trying to freeze the cancer with said chemo and we'll take it from there.
They can't give us an estimation. Doctors said she could have from months to years and years.
So far I've told... 2 people of this. My grandma is one of my strongest role models. I love her to bits and enjoy the reaction when I call her midget.
On another hand, this coming Friday is my OSCE.. Don't ask me what it stands for, cause I can't remember? It's a one on one exam with a teacher where you have to treat the dummy *actual dummy* like a client/patient.. Asking questions.. "Do you have any allergies? What is your name and date of birth?" And then going on to do medication calculations while having to explain everything to the teacher.
With what's been going on with my Nan, I have BARELY studied.. I realise with tablets it's Strength required divded by strength in stock times the volume.. But there's SOOOO many more maths type things to remember along with drug type things and subcuts (injections) and BLAH.
Feeling very stupid.
Going to study ALL day tomorrow and some of tonight (nearly 11pm and tired) and the OSCE starts at 1:40pm Friday so will be studying before then..
YIKES, wish me luck for myself & my Nan!!!!!

Good luck on your OSCE. I know you can do it and your grandma would want you to concentrate on your studies and not worry about her and I know how hard that can be.
I hope things go well with your grandma and for you. I will keep both of you in my thoughts and prayers.
