Hello!
A big hello to all of Annie's loyal readers, I'll start by introducing myself, I'm Loz K as i have been refered to in some of Annie's posts and she somehow got the crazy notion in her head that it would be a wonderful idea to let me loose on her blog to post some exciting happenings/stories of life from a different perspective (meaning my perspective) while she is running around being a busy girl and neglecting her poor, beloved blog. Now I don't know about you, but as one of Annie's good friends I am already a loyal reader of her blog and am, as she knows, scared as all hell to write on it coz im convinced I'll screw it up because a) I don't think I can write for shit and b) I already stuffed up trying to create my profile as a new blogger on her site and somehow ended up making my own blog in the process :S So I have come to the conclusion that I will either now or eventually ruin her blog and hence she will disown me. I'm hoping that doesnt happen so I'll just take Annie's advice "u'll be fine *breathe*" and dive head first into the unknown...here goes...
Now I suppose I should pick something to talk about after all that pointless dribble. Considering this is 'A New Experience of a Different Kind' I should probably talk about the very very scarey new experience I am beng subjectet to at the moment...yes, you guessed it...University. I know, I know Annie has mentioned this in her last couple of blogs but my uni experience is slightly different to hers at the moment. Firstly, shes at Flinders which is 10mins tops from my house and a lot lot further away for her, and I'm at UniSA which is in town, which is prolly 15mins from her place and a solid half hour by car, 40mins to an hour by our lovely public transport system. So really we should swap unis and save ourself a lot of travel time :P However, the course I'm doing (A Bachelor of Medical Radiaton, Radiation Therapy for those of you who are interested) is only offered at UniSA on the City East campus so I must put up with the extensive bus trips too and from town every day, which I will probably end up whinging about a lot, but I'll try not to whinge as much as Single Girl whinges about the T hehe
Second difference between Annie and my uni experiences is that she is being swamped by work and I'm still in holiday mode, rocking up to uni for an hour or two here and there which makes me very very lucky, but I'm quite suprised, as I naturally thought, doing a medical based subject I'd be working my ass off as much as Med students seem to. But, I'm gonna just enjoy the easy ride for the moment. Plus I can't complain because I get Fridays off and most of Monday minus the 1 hour Anatomy prac at 9 *groan* The only reason I hate early morning things for uni is not coz I hate getting out of bed (even though thats a slight factor) the main reason is that I now *hate* with a passion catching the public bus with school children. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a child hater, being one year too old to be classified as a child myself, I just hate the way that they give you a dirty look if you so much as think about sitting on the spare seat next to them which they are saving for their annoying friend who talks to much who gets on a few stops down the road, EVEN THOUGH theres no other spare seats left. Yes I have an issue with the little brats who think they're hot shit and who think that their conversation about some slutty tart is so important it must be discussed with a high pitch and loud OHMIGOD i KNOWWW's which are distrupting me who is quietly going over my uni notes. Now you may be thinking I'm uptight and a hypocrit because surely I did the same thing when I was at school, however, here you would be sorely mistaken. I caught the school bus so pissing off innocent by standers was the least of my concerns. But when I *was* on my school bus I was too busy catching up on sleep or doing homework I hadn't finished (hey, the ride lasted an hour...) to even think about having stupid conversations loudly about nothing with my friends.

Now this has turned into a bitch and a moan which I was hoping wouldnt happen, especially on my firt blog but I suppose it's fitting as Annie could probably tell you I'm usually bitching and moaning bout something :P But anyway, I shall move away from the differences we have in our new uni experience and share with you what we infact have in common...being ALL ALONE! Here I can relate, I only have one girl from school doing my course and we have clung to each other for dear life because uni is a cruel cruel place. No, I'm only joking. But similar to Annie there is an abundance of mature age students in our course and theyre interests arent really in making friends (even though I'm not sure I'd want to befriend someone whos old enough to be my mother anyway), they're more interested in doing their work and quickly getting back home in time to pick their kids up at 3.30.
So really that only leaves the other scared lonely school leavers like us and the few people who took a gap year or did other courses. So school buddy and I decided to make friends with some people and we set our sites on a fairly good looking boy named Laurence whos notes we sorta copied off of in our physics lecture but anyway. He was nice and we thought we were making progress and then... the snub. Would talk to us only when spoken to and wouldn't sit anywhere near us even tho it was clear he had no other friends. Why, I hear you ask? Beats me but hey we tried. And it's making things awkward because he's in all of my prac and tutorial lessons I have without school buddy so it would have ideally been nice if Laurence and I could have hit it off, but oh well.

I did however make a lovely friend today :D Her and I bonded over how grose the slides of the sections of the cut up 80 year old woman who donated her body to science were. Honestly it was vomit worthy to see what was once someones body, cut in cross sections and sealed in plastic for us to view her organs and gunk (very technical medical term *gunk* is). So yes, friend tally stands at 2, minus 1 loss to Laurence but I think I shall persist and I'll keep you posted as to whether we become buddies.
Well that is more than plenty out of me, I shall bid you all goodbye for now, hopefully not for too long, but hopefully long enough if Annie reclaims her obsessive blogging habbits before they wear off on me...Adios!

Your story has inspiered me to great limits. I want to one day to study a degreee in medical retardation like yourself. I especially like the bit in your story where you told your parents that you were really a woman and that they accepted it so that you could go study your cource. That makes me feel really good that one day I can follow your example and feel like a woman that i am. Maybe you can learn really good your medical retardation course adn can operate on me? Will you come to Idaho?
Hello, its Laurence. Here I was minding my own business looking up porn on the internet and i stumble across this. It's really quite awkward and I don't know what to say. For everyone out there reading I would like to clarify what happened. I was minding my own business looking up porn as I was waiting for an anatomy lecture, when this blogger came and sat next to me an introduced herself. I cordially said hello, and went back to inspecting my latest findings.
As the lecture progressed I continued to review some top quality material on my "laptop" computer system. Loz K was busy listening to the anatomy lecture, and then interrupted me yet again to say "Hey, maybe we can do some anatomy study later?" and I flat out refused. I take grave offence to such a suggestion and its sexual overtones and refused to participate.
PS please speak to me again, you're the only woman I've spoken to
very nice first blog loz! and the bloggie loves it too because now it feels happy and loved. dont be embarassed about managing to create your own blog when trying to do your profile.. i seem to recall a certain ani-jane doing the same thing and creating The Hovel completely by accident!
