It's been a while

Well I guess I dont write on my blog often enough because I have been trying to log in and post, but I have had truoble getting in. Anyway, I think I was just tying the wrong thing. But I am finally in tonight. My most exciting news is that I have moved out of the Res. There were a few annoying hiccups, but I think things are all sorted out by now- hopefully. So now I am living in a house, not a dorm. Its pretty good not having to carry everything to the shower all the time, and also the kitchen/cooking stuff is soo much nicer and easier. Also I will have my own internet when I get someone to set it up in the next few days- that is a real bonus. All I need now is a car- which I am working on. I am currently working a night duty shift which is a little boring, but the money is slightly better than a day shift. And I get 8 hours at night where as I generally get 6 hours during the day. Silly me for deciding to do a week of night duty. I was sooo tempted to cancel tonight, seeing as I am a really lazy person and just couldn't be bothered working. But I think they really needed me to work, so I am. Anyways only really wanted to say I am living in a

house now- very exciting stuff.

Holidays!

(Written while on holidays sometime)…
Well, I am on holidays. Don’t have much internet access out here, so I am having withdrawal symptoms (also sorry to those who I have not replied to). Well things are going well, am not really doing anything. Well actually my grandparents are here and my grandpa likes watching the tennis and cricket, so I have actually been watching that. I thought cricket was really boring and a waste of time, but now I do like it. Well I like the quick game with only 20 overs each. That was a good game, and Australia has been winning all the games I’ve seen, so that makes it even better. And tennis, well, its okay, but still is not my favourite sport though.

I have been looking after our Bantams which I really like doing. We have hens sitting on eggs at the moment so we have had a few chickens. Unfortunately I think there have been about 11 eggs hatch and about 8 of those have died. It’s very sad. Some of them I have just found their dead bodies before even knowing they had hatched. But some deaths have been because of my bad judgement. One of these, the saddest death, was when I had to raise one of the chickens myself (the first one I had to this time). So I had it in a box and spent a fair bit of time with it, and it really liked me. It was sooo cute. Anyway, to cut the story short I moved one of the hens that had a chicken from the chook pen and put them in a safer cage. I decided it would be better for the chicken to be with a mother hen than for me to raise it, so I decided to put this chicken out with the mother (for the best interest of the chicken, I really didn’t want to let it go). I went into the cage once to put some food in there and my dear little chicken, as it normally does it followed me. But it started to chirp and the mother hen must have thought I was hurting the chicken, so it came over, being very protective and I thought it was going to attack me, so I had to pick the chicken up to quiet it and had to put the chicken back in through the door. It was very hard to let it go. Anyway, the next 2 days it rained so I wasn’t able to check on the chicken. When it stopped raining I was able to go out and check. I thought I saw the chicken. But later, Heather had a closer look and found that my chicken had died. She said she didn’t want to tell me, but she did. And so I had to bury the chicken (while to dog was watching, so I hope he doesn’t dig it up again, but she hasn’t yet, I’ve been watching). Anyway, I don’t really like that mother hen anymore.

Anyway, I have two chickens that I am raising myself at the moment. One of them I had found in the chook pen that had started to hatch but was too tired and weak to completely get out of the shell. So I had to remove the rest of the shell and put it in the box with my other chicken. I think there was something wrong with its eyes at first as there was some dirt in it which I had to get out and it wasn’t quite pecking at things properly, but it is fine now. And this chicken has the funniest personality. It really likes stretching its neck as far as it can, and it is so independent and not scared of anything. Its just sooo funny and cute.

Another thing that happened the other day was an encounter with a racehorse goanna. I was outside with the chickens letting them go for a walk and explore, when I was just getting up to move somewhere else when I saw this thing racing towards my feet. And caught up in the moment I started jumping up and down, I think screaming or making some noise (although Heather said she thought she heard the dog barking). And then, realising what it was and realising it wasn’t going to move I quickly went and picked up my two chickens thinking it may try and eat the chickens and came to the front door of the house where Dad was just coming out to see what was going on. And Dad said it must have been the lizard that had been climbing around in our roof. So everyone went out and had a look and they tried to chase it away from the house so it doesn’t come back to the house. So that was something exciting.

(Written today)
My holidays are over now, I’m back! (That’s if anyone realised I was gone). I just arrived early this morning. Hardly got any sleep last night on the plane and have been moving into a different room (boo hoo - I couldn’t get my old room back). My new room is okay, but I really would like to move out!!!!!! But probably need a car first, and that requires money. Oh, quick catch up with my holidays, I lost some wisdom teeth along the way and probably some wisdom as well. And it didn’t hurt at all, I really don’t know what those people are talking about when they say its really painful. Maybe I am just a luck one. Another even that happened was one of our neighbours came to our house and was really stressed because he found his workman in his room lying on his bed confused and slipping in and out of consciousness. So me and Dad went over there and I discovered that he was a diabetic and when I took his blood sugar level it was 1.2, which is very low. So I had to get him to drink some cordial and make sure he was okay before they got him to hospital. So my knowledge came in handy and may have saved his life even. Yay to me. Anyways my holidays weren’t that boring. I also started to pull down part of the chook pen we have (which is really, really old and about to fall down), and went a bit further than I was intending, but it was just hanging there as if a slight breeze would blow it over. Anyway, it now stands half pulled down seeing as the chooks are actually still kept in this pen. Hmmm… I really have talked too much about the chooks… Anyways, I think this coming year is going to be very exciting and challenging and important. Me, an RN, I really can’t see that right now.

Love this picture

I've Graduated!!

Wow! I graduated last week, 7 days ago. I’m now a nurse, although I am not registered yet. Yeah, I am glad all that study is over finally, but I don’t really feel… hmm, the way I should feel after graduating, whatever that is. Perhaps I am just petrified of the future. I feel sorry for the patients I will look after next year because I feel I don’t know anywhere near enough to look after them. Anyway, most of my friends are leaving or have already left for home which is really sad, missing them already. I can’t believe it is over. I fly home this Wednesday for a while. This Christmas will be different from other Christmas’s because all of my grandparents will be there, grandparents from my mum and dad’s side. Usually it would be one or the other, either in Perth with dad’s parents or in Victoria with my mum’s parents. Also my cousin will be getting married in January. The thing is she is a year younger than me, so that will be interesting, I think WAY too young to get married, but, it’s her decision to make I just hope it works out.

Hi.

Well I think my craze of blogging has died down now. And I think many other people have too. I used to think of lots of thinks to say, but haven't thought of anything lately. All I can say is COMPUTERS ARE EVIL. Seriously addictive, and so unsocial. I say this because, yes, I have been a victim lately.
Thats all folks.

Next year...

Well I just received a phone call saying I have been accepted into the San to work here next year, and I have accepted the position. So that's what it looks like I am doing. I am pretty excited at the moment. I start in May next year, which is what I wanted so I can have a few months break before I start. But this means I will have to stay in Sydney... hmmm, and find somewhere else to live, because I am definitely NOT staying in the res next year... Oh, it's so exciting. I have been hanging for so long about what I am doing next year, and now I know.
Anyways, just wanted to share that good news.

My picture

I just love this picture I created. It took me hours and hours to make (joking). Anyway, I had fun.

Its October!

I can not believe that it is October already. To think that I will be graduating in 2 months, wow. I still don't know exactly what I am doing next year, it's a mystery. Anyway, did I tell you that I went on an Ambulance placement last friday? Well I thought it would be really good and I would be able to observe and help with lots of accidents and stuff... but I was actually very disappointed. My perception of what ambulance officers do has changed completely. There are the odd accidents that they may go to, but most of the time they are just transporting people from the hospital back home or to a nursing home. It's actually quite a boring job. So I was very disappointed about that, but it is good to understand others perspectives and have a broader idea of what each persons role is in health care.
