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. :)

Hi!!

Well, it has been a super duper long time since I last wrote ... a lot has happened. My life as a rollarcoaster!!! :D Yahoo!! :D

Ok, some highlights:
  • Went wake boarding!!! So mad!! I will be getting this super cool video of it ... I had trouble getting up for ages but everyone was really supportive & I finally got up!! Yahoo!!! :D And I loved it!!! Must go again!! Must!!! And maybe try water skiing & the biscuit etc. Lots of fun!! :D
  • Am getting more involved with Fox church ... I will admit that I don't love everything about any church I have ever been to but ... I am learning to accept that church is imperfect. Anyway, am becoming more committed to my cell grp ... and am learning to open up a bit and receive help and support which is always healthy!! :D And I am really tell too ... I have had some trouble recently with work & those you knew abuot it (my internet & overseas friends are off the hook as they didn't know & I have been snobbing EVERYONE!!) have been so wonderful ... cards, msgs, phone calls, emails, just lots of care & support ... thank you to everyone!! Knowing that you are not alone can help so much when you have problems you need to face. :)
  • Oh, I am going skydiving for my birthday - april 8! :D Wahoo!! :D I am super duper excited ... and scared ... but I have paid the deposit now all I have to do is ... not think about it & jump!!! We will see if it works out ... and if not, then you will know why my blog has not been updated ... oh, and my bro, Chris is reading my lifestory at my funernal, ok? :D Oh, and what is just as exciting as jumping out of a plane, if not more exciting, is that my highschool buddy, Katrina is coming up from Melbourne to jump with me ... i always said I didn't want to die alone!! :D So exciting ... 4 days off work, sleep, socialise, skydive, and hang out!! :D
  • I moved out of the dorms!!! (And they all said: Amen!!) I live near my work with 3 others - 2 guys & 1 girl... it is pretty good. I don't really know one guy but he lives downstairs and is pretty self contained!! :D us upstairs are all friends and pretty laid back!! :D Still adjusting to being in a house and being able to put some of my stuff outside my room etc. but I am enjoying it. But amazingly enough i do miss something about the dorm ... no dryers, no spare washing machines or bathrooms, and no spare TVs ... but I honestly think i can live quite well without all that!!! :D Kylie & I are having our first social this Saturday night ... not a housewarming or a birthday party or anything really upkey ... just relaxed, make toasted sandwiches or haystacks, and watch a movie with friends ... we will see if we can handle this before going onto gourmet dinners (and learning how to cook too!!)
  • I went to yo's 21st birthday party!! A bit late but awesome, none the less! :D Latino style party, outside, fairy lights, lots of food, Salsa instructors to teach us how to dance, speeches (even made one myself!) & lot s of fun!! Yolanda looked totally beautiful ... very latino & very happy!! :D Happy Birthday, Yo!! :D
  • I went to a Easter story with the local Uniting Church ... very interactive & very well done. Good music, good moving from room to room, good story, good acting, ... was very very impressed by everyone!! :D


Some low lights:

  • I lost my internet connection & I desperately need a laptop so I can get it back. Just too buggered from work to actually go laptop shopping ... one day soon. I don't think I can last much longer!! :D
  • I have had a lot of adjusting issues re: work & various people & learning new things etc. Sometimes it can be very overwhelming and hard to please EVERYONE & do what is right ... as well!! :( Am getting there ... still tough, though.
  • I have been snobbing most of my friends ... internet, overseas or not. I haven't visited my college mates for such a long time & even my neighbour hasn't seen me too much either. I sometimes feel like a zombie ... just working day in and day out ... no time for anyone else when i finish my shift because I am totally drained ... pls never do shift work ... it just isn't worth it, k?
Anyway, I was suppose to have an early night tonight & it just hasn't happened ... so i should go & just try to have some sleep.

I hope you are all doing well,

Love & laughter

Blue Nurse

Yay! Glad you're back blogging - had missed reading your stuff.

Happy birthday for the 8th! I hope you survive the whole skydiving thing and have loads of fun with it ;)

Oh, and about work, hope it all gets better soon. Try not to stress too much (chocolate does help sometimes - hurrah for Easter).
