Time for an update. This will be very long so feel free to skip the boring bits. I really should be doing some work right now, but I'm stuck in one of those melancholic moods and thought it best to right it down. I always think of things to write on here just before I go to sleep, so I hope I can remember those thoughts....
Career wise things are going really well. I'm now pretty sure I want to specialise in cardiology after being on placement in a cardiology ward. I understand it (which helps), you get a wide range of patients and I've always found cardiac staff to be lovely. There are other reasons as well. I really can't wait to qualify because I won't be slogging away for £1.60 per hour (that is not a joke). I might also my known to people who I work with by my actual name, because being a student, you just get called 'the student'. I do feel like I will end up as a nurse next year which is great, as it will only have taken me 4 years in total.
My love life is as it was. Non existent. I'm not complaining though because I've realised I quite like being single. In fact the thought of a relationship right now fills me with fear so good job really. Through seeing some friends go through break ups, and know how hurtful it is myself so I really couldn't give a shit if I stay single forever. I do have a man of my own though. He's furry, has four legs and loves me unconditionally. Its Louis my doggie. However, by being in relationships with stinkers, I now know what I don't want which is 1) someone who is younger than me 2) someone who doesn't have more emotional baggage than me 3) someone who constantly leans on me for support but never gives it back and 4) someone who can stand on their own two feet and don't need their mummies to sort out their lives. Saying that, I do really fancy the pants off Robin Hood.
I've started going swimming 3 times a week and it really makes a difference. I just wanted to tone up a bit. I'm not the world's greatest swimmer but it worth it knowing the whole of your body it working out. It helps with your posture, joints and stamina too and I'm going to try and keep it up.
Next year I'm going on a big holiday before I start a full time job. I haven't had a proper holiday to relax since I went to Finland in 2007. I've narrowed it down to a few options. Africa (safari) Jamaica (because I wanna see where Bob Marley was born) or back to Greece ( its always warm and cheap). Some people on my course are doing elective placements and going to far flung places to work for a couple of weeks but I don't want to go all that way to work, I just can't see the enjoyment in it.
That's all I can remember for now lol. It may not make sense but its my life at the moment.
