blue nurse

A random blog which informs about my life's events, strange insights and the occasion complaint ... if you can handle all that, then maybe we can talk about becoming friends

Name:
Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

I am a registered nurse, living in Sydney, about to begin my first year of real work. I grew up around the Pacific and have friends from various parts of the world ... mainly AUS, PNG, & USA. Recently I fell in love with travel and would love to do more. I think it would be awesome to have friends in every country and really get to know the locals therefore having a more indepth experience of the culture than just being an average tourist. I have a passion for education, stopping poverty, caring for the elderly, and the freedom for people to have alternative lifestyles. It would be a mad experience to work with the United Nations, Amnesty International or a likewise organisation to help eliminate poverty - I know, I know, bit of a Bleeding Heart and all that ... but I like it. :)

Oh, what to do, what to do!!

This is really annoying. My blog site is being a pain in the butt. Ok, to be fair. It most likely isn't but the skill i have with computers is being able to type fast. So now that hte most simple thing as distrubed my blog site, I have no idea on how to fix it. Ah, but as least those passionate fans of blogger will be happy that I am posting more on this site now. So at least some people are happy. :P

Ok, so today is my assigned day off (of course, being available for work still) and I have so much to do: update all my emails/blogs to everyone, pack and shop for Big Camp (still am unsure of when I am leaving Sydney - Friday or Saturday - kinda stressful, because I need to clean the house and pack up all my stuff from the house before I leave and well, I just don't like knowing is all), having student dean meeting with heather, finish my employment paperwork at the SAH, have an assignment meeting and start my assignment that is due the next day that I get back from Big Camp, and just relax since it is my day off. :p Sounds like fun.

I went to the movies last night with Mel and Daniel Bell. We had Thai first. Yummy. And then we went and saw Wallace and Gromit - Curse of the Wererabbit. It was really good. The wordplays, the small details in the background, the storyline. It was good. I wasn't totally into it last night as I was super tired and getting sick. But there were some really good things about it. For instance: one of the main characters is knocking on the vicar's door and saying: where the devil is he? and when too characters are debating they are positioned in a way that one looks like an angel and the other a devil. And some of the play on words. It is an English teacher's dream come true in some places. :D Well done.

I don't really have much news except taht I nearly blew up some boss' vacuum cleaner. :p Yesterday I worked for 7hrs cleaning 3 different flats. And anyone in one of them I was vaccuming under the bed and a plastic bag got caught on the nozzle thing and started to burn. To have smoke coming out of a vaccum cleaner is not a pleasant experience. I went and got the man of the house and we checked it out. It was fine but still scary. :(

Ok, enough of just ordinary everyday sort of stuff on this blog. It is time for some real SHAZ ADVICE!!! Are you ready? Are you sure? Can you handle it? Are you sure? Ok, here it is: never, and I mean, NEVER leave home without your … TOOTHBRUSH!!! Ok, the reason why I know this is because I did it. Ok, let me explain, last night after the movie and work, I was too beat to catch public transport back home etc. so I decided to stay in my room at the Res. I had left my toothbrush at the house, though. Since I didn’t want to go to bed without cleaning my teeth, I decided to use some gargle liquid to have a fresh breath and to reach those hard to reach places. Anyway, after doing this and thinking myself so clever, I hopped into bed. Straight away I sneezed. The aftertaste and the strong all mighty gargle liquid fumes went straight up my nasal passage. Ah, burning!!! OUCH!!! Not nice … and I have a cold!! L Go ahead and laugh (even if it is just that I have written this long paragraph all on toothbrushes) but listen to my advice: just don’t leave home without your toothbrush. :P
And so with that note, I will say goodbye.
