Yesterday was my first day of clinical placement. Orientation day, did nothing much but to familiarise ourselves with the hospital and ward settings, and get to know the staffs. Attended the hand-over session at 1pm, and found that i cant catch most of the information >.<. Not familiar with all the abbreviations used. Kinda daunting in that session. Later today i'm going for the 2nd session. Will be paired up with a buddy nurse who will be looking over me for the entire shift. The bunion on my left foot hurts. Hope i will be fine for the entire shift today.
PS: sorry for the random sentences and inorganised thought.

End of Week 3
It's been more than a month since i arrived in Melbourne! Weather here in Melbourne is definitely not as pleasant as in Brissie. Oh how i miss Brissie weather!
Studies are not easy. Getting more and more hectic each day. Looking forward to clinical placement, but anxious and scared at the same time. Don't really like to do assignments, especially essays. I just don't like writing. Having 2 assignments and 1 take-home exam due in the next 2 weeks are not fun at all. =(
Lappie has been giving me problem. Thinking of getting a new one, but budget is really really tight. The LCD screen has been off-tone, which makes my eyes watery and pain after less than 30 minutes looking at it.
Started gym on Friday. Have a whole program of weights and cardio designed for me. Muscles are not used to exercise mode after being inactive for more than 3 months. Signed up for swimming classes too. Started first lesson on Saturday morning. Being asked to swim without floater on the first lesson itself was scary. Other than that was not too bad after all. Practically collapsed after the swimming class. Went for nap (which I don't usually do) for about 1.5 hours.
Dinner on Sat was great. Walked to city with Renshao, Wan Hua, Walter, Yosuke, Mahsa and Natsuko, and met up with Grace in the city. Went to Ramen Ya, and i ordered Charshu Ramen with Tonkotsu Soup. I start to get sick of Grad House food, so any other food taste yummy! Walked to Lygon St for gelato after dinner. Mango and durian gelato! Yum yum!
I think that's all for now. Have to get back to studies. Ciao~
