Well, I've just started my second week of my post-grad program. Everything seems to be going fairly well - no tears yet (Which is a major indicator to me about how things are going)!!
I am quite tired though! This getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning really knocks around a person who is used to going to bed at about 11pm!! Oh well, I suppose I'll get used to it!
Anyway, just thought I'd write a quick entry to let ya's now that things are going fine for me so far. They've now added a couple of afternoon shifts to my roster, just to shake things up a bit, so we'll see how that goes!!
Love ya's! ;op

Last day of total freedom!
Well, from Monday on I will become a career woman (of sorts!!). Feeling quite nervous about it all at the moment, but at the same time, a little excited. I hear my friends talk about wanting diversity in their lives and I think how boring I must be coz I just wanna poke around my home town for a while! I've been to uni, what more do I need!
But by the same token, I feel it will be extremely good for me to be in another place on a more permenant basis, as it may help to shove me out of my shell even more!! It'll also be fun to have a little place of my (rented) own to go back to after work. So when I get the keys to the place, every one is most welcome to come and crash my peace! (I will let you know my address indiviually, as I don't want unknown blog-stalkers turning up on my doorstep. Known blog-stalkers are most welcome! ;op )
Well, I guess I better head off and get packing. My entries will now become even more scarce because I won't have my own internet to access, but hopefully that will change in the coming weeks! Wish me luck for Monday (and the rest of the week!) ;op

I have a place too!
Time for another post...!
I went flat- looking with my mum yesturday as the days leading up to my new position in Bathurst become less and less! I was a bit worried (well, really worried actually!) about finding a place at the moment as it is also the time that all the uni students start panicking and start grabbing at any flat that becomes avaliable!
I had a few rental lists and had a bit of a look on the internet on Sunday to see if I could find any that I wanted, and I found the perfect one for me - air con, carport, and a little enclosed yard! Unfortunatly, when we rang up the real estate to book an appointment, she told me that it had already gone. To say that I was upset could be somewhat misleading to how I actually felt at the time (if you want details, ask my mum!!). And when I actually viewed the first couple of places that were still avaliable, my mood did not improve!!
While I was wondering moodily around Bathurst I found another real estate agent and decided that I should try my chances in there. Luckily they had a free space in the afternoon so we grabbed it. They had a few places I was interested in, but when we got to the last place, I went - 'I have to have that one' (The agent said he knew I'd like it! He saved the best till last!). It was a little out of my price range (ok, a lot out of my price range, but I figure I've been living on vertually nothing so far, so why not do it for another year?!!) but it was very nice - 2 bedroom (so heaps of people can come to stay at any time!!) , huge kitchen and a lock up garage. Plus, I have a strip of lawn (when it gets too high, I can cut it back with scissors)!! I also thought that if I have to live by myself, I may as well have a place that I actually like coming back too!!
So tentitively, I put in an application form for it. I wasn't sure of my chances, having not rented before (and not actually having started the job yet!) but the agent didn't seem to think that I had anything to worry about. Anyway to make a long story slightly shorter, I got a call today to say that the property owner approved of my having that flat so, Yay - I have somewhere to live!!
I don't get the keys till about the 23rd, so I'm staying at a friend's place till then. That's probably a blessing in itself as I have someone to whinge to during my first weeks at the hospital!
Wow, I guess I've got blessings coming out of my ears!!! ;op
