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. :)

Shaz

It is really is a strange feeling growing up. Sometimes I feel like I am still a little kid playing dress ups and trying to be an adult. Most of the time, I am faking it just trying to make it.

I was discussing with an old highschool friend which one of our friends we thought would get pregnant first ... and apart from one who is married (& it has been confirmed, that she is not overly interested in having children), I supposely am in the running for being second (only one other friend has a steady boyfriend ... in all honestly, I am putting my money on her ... they have been going out tons longer!). KIDS?!?! ME?!?!?

I mean, I have always thought, yeah, one day ... but that is exactly it ... ONE DAY IN THE FUTURE!! I don't think marriage or sex is where i am at, at the moment. I mean, don't get me wrong ... I don't view these things as bad ... one day I plan to do all of them but again that is ONE DAY!!

But then I stop and think ... I don't live with my parents, I drive a car & have a licence, I support myself, I organise my life, I stand up for my rights, I am totally and utterly independent. I am an adult. I am 22 years old. I have lived in many different countries. I have jumped out of planes. I have rockclimbed. I have had many different experiences. I am an independent adult who knows what she likes and what she doesn't.

But I still think I won't have marriage, sex, or kids anytime in the super near future. ;p No matter how adult I am, ONE DAY is not today. :D
