The day finally arrived it was my practical exam for
gymnastics, the exam I can honestly say I was nervous the most about. What made
it worse was the fact that my roommate that was supposed to do a floor routine
for Niamh and also myself was in Poland so I had to perform two routines for
Niamh and I got my friend Emily to do mine. So that was a panic in itself.
However when it came to my practical it wasn't as bad as I had expected and I
think it went rather well considering the rush we were in to find a replacement.
I have to say I really need to hit the gym again after performing two routines I
was exhausted! After the routines we were asked questions about how we taught
them, for example one of my questions was to demonstrate how you would support
your performer when teaching them a double cartwheel (two cartwheels in a row)
I think I demonstrated this correctly as I knew how to support a gymnast when
performing a single cartwheel so I used this knowledge. I hope everything went
as well as I thought so fingers crossed for the results!
This week was very much concentrated on my Human anatomy
exam which will be on the 4th June, so it was study, study, and study every day.
I didn't mind this much as I love this topic and it was the module I would like
to succeed the most in. Revising for this was interesting not what we would do
back home as we all sent our posters to each other and revised off them. This
was a good idea as we knew all the topics would come up on the exam however
there was only ten questions and we had seventeen to revise, therefore we had a
lot to learn!
On the Friday my friends from Erasmus decided we all needed
a break from studying so we decided to go to bowling. This was great fun and a
lot of the others hadn't ever bowled before. I also learnt that in Canada they
use smaller bowling balls and less pins so it was rather amusing watching them
play the game! In fact after a couple of goes they were actually better than me
which was embarrassing. We all had a great night and enjoyed doing something
different together.
The fun didn't stop there on the Saturday in was our residence
pool party as many people were leaving the next Saturday to fly back home.
Therefore everyone thought it would be a good idea to hold this event. We
booked a DJ and there was a BBQ and most of the day consisted of throwing each
other in the pool like big kids. The weather of course was amazing as always
and the atmosphere was fantastic watching everyone get along and come together
for one of the last times!
On Sunday all the fun was over and it was back to study as
the exam was now only 24 hours away! For once I wasn’t as nervous as I knew I
had done all I could and it was just a matter of reading over my notes and
making sure I had looked at all the topics. Therefore it was an early night for
me in preparation for my first written exam in Malta!
