the rural life...

so i've been doing a placement in a rural area..it's actually not even dat rural..it's only timaru..but omg the past week has made me realise a couple of things..

number one: im officially addicted to the internet..i have realised i cannot survive without checking my gmail or checking up on wat everybody is up to on facebook..dats the stalker tendency in me..a day without internet is a lil bit torturous..and made me appreciate the simple life at home..with my broadband internet..

number two: rural life is boring..which made me think oh crap, will i ever survive working in a rural hospital? the clinical experience is great..im getting to do loads of stuff and each time i get paged (and start swearing cos im getting paged at past 9pm at nite!), makes me feel like a real house surgeon..haha..i think if i was planning on being career driven, id def consider working in a rural area..but id need at least a fren there with me..cos heck it's really boring otherwise..if i wasnt intending on being career driven, then working in chch suits me fine..guess it all depends on wat happens in the next couple of months..which will determine where i go for work..decisions decisions decisions..i cant believe i have to make life changing decisions in a few months time..

number three: i get homesick..i miss my bed..my toilet..my basin with mixer taps and not separated hot and cold taps which really pisses me off..i miss my tv and my trustworthy vcr to tape the tv shows i miss..my radio..and my internet!! ok im back to number one now..haha..

so yea..dnt think the rural life suits me dat well..if only they had fast internet there, which would make my life a whole lot easier..

in the meantime, gotta pack and head back to timaru..only another week before the start of my 2 week holiday! which means more sleeping and stoning since there arent any alternative plans..and wow..only 11 days till xmas..and only 17 days till the new year..looks like it's gonna be a quiet holiday..
