hello! its been a long time since i last blogged.
well, this week marked the end of school and start of holidays!
wheeeee! i'm going to wilson's promontory tomorrow and nick
left for grampians early this morning.

anyway, i've got lots of piccas for you all! this week was also my
last community placement with the clients, and boy do i miss them
already! :(

presenting shannon! my favourite person in wavlink:

he is so sweet and adorable! even though he doesn't communicate
much and needs constant supervision, he is a joy to be with because
he's always smiling and full of joy. the other day i bought him this whopper
value meal at hungry jack's and he was absolutely beaming! i love it
when i see that smile on his face! :)

and some of the lovely people at wavlink who have definitely touched
and inspired me:

there's cam, who's always whooping with delight; frank, who likes
to kiss us girls!; len, who loooves talking; craig, who dances like a pro;
and jeanette, who adores horses and puppies <3


mandatory cutesy pose! haha. we get to goof around a lot, and we
sing a lot of karaoke and dance to retro tunes. trust me, what we do is so very fun (and enviable of course!)

this picture sums up my feelings and experience of community
placement. i enjoyed it so much, and i'm thankful for this chance to be
in such a fab organisation, i've definitely learnt so much more about dealing
with people who have disabilities. i can't believe how attached i've grown to
the people there, especially shannon, and it's been a really wonderful exposure
for me as a medical student as well. i love my cpp! :)
