what was i thinking?

you will never guess what i just did today!

yep. i signed up to do an online arts degree with open universities australia. twenty-four units. five hundred bucks a pop. all you have to do is a couple of hours of reading a day and you'll get a degree in six years or so.

so what the hell - i figure i might as well get my ba as well as my fracp at the same time. maybe.

can someone tell me it's not really such a bad idea? >_<

spoilt rotten

one chapter ends. another begins. i was spoilt rotten with bacon and eggs for breakfast, chocolate cake for morning tea, a card, and a box of chocolates. i feel guilty. i must get these lovely girls delicious things for having looked after me so well for ten weeks.

thank you gandarra.

my life on the back of a postcard

a few weeks between posts usually means i've been busy living life rather than just thinking about it. this is not the case this time. i have no life outside the hospital. i am a mindless paper-crunching drone, churning through deaths and discharges, charts and referrals.

two of my favourite patients died at gandarra recently. i love losers, eccentrics and grumpy old farts. they make my life more interesting than a beer and smoke after work.

week nine of ten. it's flashed past, hasn't it? just when you're getting settled into that comfortable zone called habit, the fear starts creeping back into your heart. emergency will be a jolt to the system. cool.
