lesson day.

Today is my second day of medical psychology class. As usual in the morning, gotta drag my self up from my comfy bed and get ready for class. I got to practically ski to the bus stop as it was very slippery outside. I don't know why today the weather is so cold. Waiting for the bus to iskra - the place where the Pscyhiatry Hospital situated was kinda depressing...standing in the cold, waiting for the bus, and seeing people spitting sputum (eventhough with such bad cough, the man was still holding cigarrete and smoke)....ahrghh, i hate that odor.
But i thank God, because at that moment when my mind started to so called complained...God brings back my attention to His Words..."give thanks in all circumstances"
So fine, i just switch my mind towards the notes, that we gotta prepare for class.
And it is so true that, when we stop complaining, things get smoother...the bus came and i'm more resisted towards surroundings irritants.

Today in the class, my teacher brought 3 psycho patients to our classroom, and asked us to test them with attention test. There are 4 of them; (Shutle test, Shutle-Gorbov test, Proof- reader test, and the serial countdown test).
Well, the first patient that we came across is with schizoprenia. We actually saw him before last semester. Overall, his performance towards the test was normal. I don't actually know, whether how accurate is the result, coz, he seems to be so used to the test, he even knew how the test should be conducted.
The second patient was only 18 years old. He is with Schizoprenia accompanied with mental retardation. I hardly hear what he said, coz, he seems to have problem with his articulation. He didn't really like to be tested tho; and kept telling us that he is tired. However, when i asked him other questions, as in his favorite passtime, and about his friends, and so on...he seems enjoy.
The third patient, i should say he is kinda hyper. He talks alot and very responsive. He even asked us whether do we have cigarrette...and even commented, that how he can work with us if we do not have any cigarrete to offer him.
At the end of the day...i was very tired. Being the person who asked the patients (curation) and conducting the test... i just need to pay my fullest attention towards their response and their anwers as well.
Nevertherless, i learnt alot...it is definetly not easy to be a psychologist or psychiatrist. These people needs a lot of patience and dedication to handle such patients.

Thank God for this opportunity to work with these people today. I thank God for His protection!

Valentine's day ~09

Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on Feb 14th by many people throughout the world. In the West, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending valentine's cards, presenting flowers or offering confectionery.
This is the abstract taken from the Wikipedia about Valentine’s Day.
But, that is not the only day lovers express their love for each other, instead it is a everyday thing...you may not necessary express your love by sending cards, flowers or etc, but the lifestyle and the commitment you have for each other matters most.
However, i thank God for this day.
Today me and dear went out together. We did some shopping at manesh. Dear bought me a pair of jeans and a shirt. Really appreciate his gifts. Thanks dear!
Then, we proceed to pushkinskii to have lunch. I want to buy him lunch. So we went to the 2nd floor of pushkinskii to have our meal. There was one incidence happened in the restaurant… which was very embarrassing. Only God, dear and I knew about it. Sshhhhhhhh, it is gonna be a secret.
Really thank God for dear. Although we did nothing much on this day, but I believed the time we spent together is worthwhile and ya, thank God it has been a blessed day.
Thank God for God is love, and because of His love in us, we can love one another and tolerate with one another. Praise the Lord.
