I Forgot

Karate Tournament

Today was my first Karate tournament. After more nerves than expected, I actually enjoyed myself a lot and did much better than expected. For kata, the part where you do a series of moves according to what grade you are, I didn't do too bad but could have done better. For Kumite the organised non-contact fight I actually surprised myself and got into it a lot more than I have before. I didn't feel as confident with Kumite because I haven't had much practice at it, but I actually go some points which I was very happy about. So it was a sucessful tournament after waiting for 4 1/2 hours for my event to start.

Relax, end of the week

So, its finally Friday. I've go my car back after a long 35 minute, mostly up hill walk that required a lot of effort and spent energy. I also ended up with a larger dent in my bank account than expected, which is a little disappointing. Now all I have left to do today is to survive another 8 hour shift at work. I doubt it will be as bad as the last 2 days because I don't think there will be many beds left in the hospital to fit any more patients, well that's what I am hoping. Then I will come back to my room, curl up in front of my heater, listening to some music and relax.

If only we had a fireplace in our house...

Friday

Its Friday... well it feels like Friday, and I wish it was Friday... so why can't it be Friday?
It was a busy day today, and yesterday. I did a bit of overtime tonight and didn't finish until 8:30pm. And the shift I did had a lunch break and afternoon tea break, so no actually tea/dinner break. So I was pretty hungry when I got home. So, I ate, watched TV, talked to a few people on the phone, and am now back on the internet- my usual, boring routine. So today felt like Friday because I am pretty tired. I wish it was Friday, because then I wouldn't have to work tomorrow. But it's not. On the plus side, I have another day where I can go and get my car from the mechanic, which has been there since Monday and I just haven't been able to go and get it yet. But, rest assured, my car hasn't given me much more trouble, I just had it serviced and it needed new front break pads... even though it did die on me the beginning of last week! But I have forgiven it for doing that, mainly because I don't look after it as well as I should, so its probably my fault. Anyway, tomorrow I will be happy, because it will actually be Friday.

Wedding Photos

8 Months Later...

She post's again!
So, as you can see I have updated my blogs layout (If you saw it before). Its probably a bit too purple and needs a few other colours, but I like it for now. Me update time:
- I have finished my New Grad program and am no longer the newbie
- I have a full time job in Recovery and am really enjoying it
- My Brother got married, I gained a new sister
- I have had another birthday and am now a year older, and hopefully wiser
- I have my first karate tournament in a week and will be aiming for gold
- I still live in the same house as before, but I will be moving out in 2 weeks
- I am going to Europe in August this year!!!! Only 7 more weeks, very exciting
- I finally own a digital camera so I can actually take photos when I'm in Europe
Other than that, I'm still pretty much the same 'me' as before.

Free Bible programs for you computer

Well in the last week was introduced to a free downloadable bible program that looked really good, and called e-sword. For those that may want the bible on their computer here is the link: http://www.e-sword.net/index.html

And then I got interested and looked around for more free downloadable bibles and found a site that is relatively similar, but I prefer this one better and is from bible explorer. And here is the link for those that may want it: http://www.bible-explorer.com/

So I am quite enjoying this program. It has a few different free bible translations, and many commentaries, and other literature. I read pilgrims progress this weekend, and I hadn't actually read the full story. I had only read many different childrens versions and watched a video of it, but the original story has a lot more in it. Anyway, its up to you, if you want it, but I just thought I would share.

I'm Back

I'm Back!!! We'll see how long this lasts...
So everyone, well almost everyone, got a public holiday today except me. I don't actually even know what this public holiday is for, I guess I will find out sooner or later.
For those who don't know, I am working in the surgical/gastro ward- which really isn't as bad as it sounds. It actually quite interesting and have good staff there. And I am only going to be there another 2 weeks before I move again to work in recovery for 3 months. I'm quite excited about that because I really don't know much about recovery, so I will learn a lot there. Also I will have more regular hours, no night duty, and no working on the weekends, yay! I really do like my weekends off so I have some sort of 'normal' routine.
So I have decided to return home/back to WA next year. Deciding the city life is not for me, the country calls my name. The Prodigal Son (edited: Prodigal Daughter) returns. Any single, young farmers out there?? Joking.
Okay now you have been very briefly caught up to date with me at the moment. Not much else to say about me.
