Catch Up

It's my second last week here and I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. I'm getting to that time of my placement where I am reaching absolute breaking point. My supervisor has said how being a student is the toughest part of your career, which helps a little i guess. But what doesn't help is the girl i'm sharing my placment with being a absolute depressing wreck, complaining how tired, bored and home sick she is every morning on the way to work. Its beginning to drag me down too.

Anyway im trying my best to ignore it and its working so far. Have done a couple interesting things while i've not been blogging but i'm tired so will bullet point them and u can google them if u want to know more general details:

1. Did the Great Ocean Road...was pretty good but more of a summer thing

2. Did wine tasting in the Yarra Valley...amazing scenery and good wine (i'm told)

3. The Nutrition Department at my hospital put on a big "Celebrity Chef" day each year for the a group of lucky patients. This year it was a Beijing Olympic special so a couple of the medal winners turned up as guests. I got to hold the Olympic silver medal of one of the rowers which was good. But what was even better was when he said that they were leading for the first 1900m and the Team GB beat them to gold becuase they "lacked the power". Haha. Plus I got to eat two courses of the meal which was by far the best food I have tasted in my life (no exaggeration) - Seven score Wagyu beef = very nice!

4.. Its finally spring so im getting happier by the day...possibly even a trip to the beach by the weekend but that might be a little too optimistic.
