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. :)

Time away!

Isn't it totally amazing what leaving can do? Just saying ... look, this is all too much ... I got to go away ... and actually doing it!!

I did it!!!

I went on the shortest, craziest 'roadtrip' of all time with Bon this weekend!! And it was FANASTIC!! I had a bad week last week and all I wanted to do was sleep all weekend as I just didn't have the energy to go anyway... but tickets were booked and paid so I was going weather I was ready or not!

And I am glad that I went!! So glad! It was FANASTIC!!

We took the 11hr train trip down to Melbourne Friday night. We actually chatted for 5hrs straight. I mean, we live roughly 1.5hrs away from each other and we see each other semi-regularly but ... we are always in a rush to go out and soicalise together with the boys or whatever. So, it was great to just catch up on so much!! Not so sure if everyone else appreciated it so much ... sorry!! :(

Then, slept a bit when we arrived. The train is better tahn the bus but you still don't sleep FANASTICALLY!! Then I met up with my rels and had lunch with them which was really nice. Got to check out photos, got free honey (my uncle grows all his own stuff and has a bee hive which keeps him loaded with HONEY!! Yum!!), and just chatted. It was nice.
I then caught up with Kat, Rin and Simon which was nice. I only saw them last month but it was cool none the less. Next time I see them (or most of them) will be at Rin and Simon's wedding!! I still can't believe Rin (Lorinda, Rinra, the chick I went to highschool with for 4 yrs and is younger than me is getting married!!! Dude!! It is great and I am getting used to it but WOW!! My highschool friends are getting married. This is the beginning ...)

Then I got to check out videos on Bon's internet. Due to the dodgiest computer server in the world and disappointing internet cafe (yes, I went to a cafe to see videos and it wouldn't work! So disappointing) I didn't think I would get to see these great videos I had heard so much about. But Bon's internet is awesome so yipee! I did! And I loved Michelle's (Brandon's g/f) video clip on "Somebody told me" So great!! :D Oh, and I was on it too. Not that video but a different one ... Brandon videoed a msg from me to Michelle and she put it up!! How cool is that? I am famous on the world wide web (and yes, I know that really isn't that out there but still, I liked it!!)

Then we went to the PRODUCTION!! Robbie Copper is awesome!! I mean, I knew he was good but this was amazing. The production is what Bon and i went down to mel for ... Rob produced, directed, starred in, wrote, organised, basically did EVERYTHING for the production (not even a real school thing ... more a student initiated event!!). And Rob is in Yr 12 ... dude!! Insane!! The production was basically The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe but was a bit of a muscial, dancing event too!! IT was awesome!! I was so proud of him and all the cast. They did such a good job. I will post pictures when I get copies!! :D

Afterwards, we hung out with Rob at Maccas and didn't get to bed till 2:30pmish ... which kinda sucked because we had to leave by 6am!! :( It was a long day today ... drove to airport, flew 1.5hrs, got a lift to trainstation (roughly 0.5hrs), waited for train for 1hr, rode the train for almost 2hrs, got a lift from Hornsby to home ... traveling from 6am to just past 2pm. Yep, exhausted was how I felt!!

I didn't want to come back to Sydney ... I wanted to ignore my responsiblities and course that little bit longer. But you know what? I feel tired but I feel great too. It is good to be back home ... have a bath and relax ... not have to socialise etc. It was a great trip away and it made me appreciate home just that little bit more!! :D

And I see the difference already. I sat down and wrote over 2000 words for my assignment in one evening!! FANASTIC!!

But I am now totally buggered ... it is almost 3am and I only had a couple of hrs nap this afternoon so I haven't really caught up on the lack of sleep I have had from the past two nights!! But it was so worth it ... I loved my weekend!! :D

God bless,

Blue Nurse

You sound like such a fun person. I'm glad you got to get away. Even though it is exhausting it is also refreshing to do something different with others. I love to check out our blog. Did you ever go to the zoo and see Steve Irwin? So sad at his passing. Michelle's mum.
